VL CONNECTOR
Crimp
Disconnectable Crimp style connectors
6.2mm
(.244") pitch
Features ––––––––––––––––––––––––
• Housing lances for contact retention
Since the contact retention lances are part of the housing
rather than protruding from the contact, they cannot be
damaged by handling. They allow the contact to be easily
inserted and securely locked into the housing.
• Secondary retainer
The secondary retainer is optionally available. This retainer ensures
that the contacts are fully seated and locked in the housing and
prevents their accidental release. Installed after the contacts are
inserted, the secondary retainer locks and secures the contacts.
• Suited for circuits with high power requirements
Since these contacts have large cross-sectional areas and high
contact pressure, they can accommodate circuits requiring high power.
• Two kinds of connections
The VL connectors can be used for wire-to-wire or wire-to-board
connections.

Note:
Do not branch in parallel current which exceeds the rated current (eg. more than 17A in
the case of 3 circuits with AWG #12). If branched in parallel, current imbalance or other
problems may develop. If it is absolutely necessary to branch such a large current in
parallel, design the circuits without causing any imbalance and provide an extra margin
for each circuit.
