3-Way Crimp Terminal Connector Socket Receptacle Housing, 3.96mm Pitch

This 3-Way Crimp Terminal Connector Socket Receptacle Housing is a fundamental component for creating secure and reliable electrical connections. It forms part of the renowned KK® 396 connector system, designed primarily for power applications where a robust and stable connection is required.

The housing is constructed from high-temperature nylon, providing excellent durability and resistance to heat, making it suitable for a wide range of demanding environments. A key feature is the built-in friction lock ramp, which ensures a secure, snap-fit connection with compatible friction lock headers, preventing accidental disconnection from vibration or movement.

Key Features & Benefits

• Secure Connection: The friction lock ramp design provides a positive, snap-in mating action with headers, offering a reliable connection without the need for additional locking levers.
• Polarisation: Integrated polarising ribs on the housing and polarising back walls prevent incorrect mating of connectors, safeguarding against assembly errors and potential damage.
• Reflow Process Compatible: As part of an RPC (Reflow Process Compatible) connector system, this housing is suitable for use in automated soldering processes, enhancing manufacturing efficiency.
• High-Temperature Material: The nylon housing can withstand elevated temperatures, ensuring performance stability in various applications.
• Terminal Retention: Designed for use with terminals featuring locking tangs, which securely click into place within the housing for excellent mechanical retention.
