AMP Economy power (EP) connectors are designed for secondary power circuit applications and consist of a wire-to-board plug housing receptacle and a mating post header. Available in three contact spacings: .156", .200" and .312"; headers are available in vertical and right angle configurations. Applications can be found in commercial electronic equipment, household appliances and other general-purpose industrial and commercial applications where secondary power circuits are designed in.

Equipped with a positive locking mechanism for effective locking of the connector halves. The positioning of the locking latch avoids interference with potting or other surface treatments found on the circuit boards in home appliances. The slim design of the post headers allows end-to-end stacking to help improve flexibility and density on the PCB. Available in two through twelve positions in the .156" and .200" version and two through five positions in the .312" version.

Rated at 250 VAC and 7.5 amps maximum. Wire with a maximum insulation diameter of .118" and ranging from 18 through 22 AWG can be connected to the receptacle contacts. Initial resistance is rated at 10 m ohms and 20 m ohms final. Durability is rated at up to 50 mating cycles. Intermateable with other competitive designs. A high profile, single position plug housing and header are also available.

ELV & RoHS compliant, lead-free process capable.
