To further meet market demands in the appliances industry, TE Connectivity (TE) has released a new power triple lock (PTL) product line designed to provide enhanced benefits to the customer. New enhancement features of this lock connector system includes an optional connector position assurance (CPA), an optional terminal position assurance (TPA), high- temperature housings up to 150°C (302°F) and an upgraded lanceless contact design.
