In today's dynamic technological environment, automation and electronic products must change rapidly to provide versatility while supporting increasingly intelligent and networked mechanical systems. With this in mind, IDEC creates products to meet these needs. IDEC designs and manufactures control automation products that are sold to original equipment manufacturers.
The new TE lance-less terminals have replaced the original design with a stamped-out window on the terminal underside. The new feature slides over a locking tab in the housing cavity and produces an audible click to ensure the terminal is fully seated. The contacts are secured by a secondary locking device by inserting a TPA retainer. This is a recently added feature that includes 12-position breakaway style contact retainers that prevent the contacts from backing out due to random vibration.
