The WTW connector consists of mating hermaphroditic, flame-retardant polycarbonate housings into which the client power contacts are inserted. By using molded interlocking keyways, it can be stacked in four directions, and the connector makes wiring and trimming orderly and easy to complete. More importantly, the interlocking function built into the connector and accessory mounting adapter provides resistance to shock and vibration and maintains the stability and safety of the interconnection.
The design features of the WTW connector make it easy to apply to free hanging, surface mount or panel mount applications. By simply sliding the accessory mounting adapters into the molded keyways of the connector housing, a free hanging connector can be transformed into a surface mount connector or a panel mount connector.
Furthermore, WTW connector housings, mounting adapters and power terminals are all provided with alignment or keying features that make it nearly impossible to improperly assemble and apply the connector. Alignment slots and tabs on the plastic connector housings provide for easy mating of the housings, even in the dark! Mounting adapters have a keyway on one side and a key on the other side, providing for easy assembly to the connector by touch alone if necessary. And the power terminals have a side tab that prevents the incorrect insertion of the terminated conductor into the housing. Once inserted, the contacts firmly latch within the connector housing.
