Positive Lock terminals and housings are differentiated by their low insertion force (LIF) locking receptacles that offer easy assembly and reliable tab mating. The Positive Lock receptacle achieves high retention force while maintaining LIF by securely locking onto a hole in the mating tab. They provide the assembler with an audible and mechanical “snap” when the terminal is correctly seated, ensuring proper assembly - even in hard-to-reach places. The Positive Lock family features multiple series of quick connect terminals, including the ergonomic Mark I series, the Mark II series for value and reliability, and the Mark III series for design flexibility. Applications include appliances, industrial equipment, and automotive.

With increased focus on a more sustainable future, industries around the world are scaling up production of energy efficient, low carbon footprint technologies and they require electrical components that can keep pace with this growth. One bottleneck in the push for more efficient electric motor manufacturing is the limitation of magnet wire soldering and welding processes. These processes can be time-consuming, costly and difficult. Soldering And Welding Challenges Insulation Removal - Re...
The emphasis on sustainable processes has never been greater than in today’s marketplace. Environmental conservation must be considered in every phase of appliance design and in every step of the product lifecycle. Product designers use sustainable materials to limit carbon footprint, efficient and reliable components are chosen to reduce environmental impact during product operation, and, after the end of a product’s useful life, responsible companies must even plan for recy...
