　　通用MATE-N-LOK连接器基本设计

通用MATE-N-LOK连接器系统从TE Connectivity（TE）是几十年前的发展，但其在市场上的接受不断增加的今天。这主要是由于一个非常健全的基本设计，加上许多功能，通过多年来，大大扩大了其通用性。

　　通用MATE-N-LOK连接器是基于一个0.250英寸6.35毫米］ ［中心线距设计。盖和插头的外壳设计，结合卷曲，在引脚与插座接触单元可以混合在他们，允许在连接解决方案用户极大的设计灵活性。此外，一旦插入，接触受到保护，因为它们被包围的功能塑造成外壳。

　　Rated at 600 volts AC/DC and 19 amps， Universal MATE-N-LOK connectors can withstand 5 kV between adjacent contacts. The system is designed to accommodate 30 through 10 AWG （0.05 through 5.0 mm2） wire.

　　Cap and plug housings are designed for free-hanging wire-to-wire applications， as well as wire-to-panel applications. Additionally， Universal MATE-N-LOK connectors can be used for wire-to-board configurations， as pin and socket headers are available in both vertical and right-angle styles.

　　For easy， error-resistant assembly， this connector system offers positive polarization， rear cavity identification and positive locking.
