SERIES

217140, 217185, 228006

VIEW PRODUCT RESOURCES

Adding a connector position assurance (CPA) option to the Mega-Fit, Nano-Fit and Ultra-Fit product families to address mating retention force concerns related to the angle of insertion and/or extraction. Wires and housing must be on the same plane for insertion and extraction – if the cable is slightly bent, the latch strength is weakened causing mating difficulties. The CPA option provides an effective, low-cost solution to help prevent faulty mating, which can lead to poor connections causing safety hazards, power loss and equipment damage. With the CPA option, customers can avoid system downtime and ensure their electrical connections are secure for enhanced reliability.

FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES

Connector Position Assurance (CPA) prevents faulty mating

By addressing mating retention force concerns related to insertion/extraction angles. Ensures secure connections, reducing the risk of power loss, safety hazards, and equipment damage.

CPA design requires wires and housing

To remain on the same plane for proper insertion and extraction, even if cables are slightly bent. Enhances mating reliability, avoiding difficulties caused by weakened latch strength due to misalignment.

CPA is an effective, low-cost solution integrated into the MegaFit, Nano-Fit, and Ultra-Fit product families. Minimizes system downtime while providing durable and reliable electrical connections for enhanced operational efficiency.
