RAST 2.5 Standard Timer Crimp Connectors

TE Connectivity RAST 2.5 standard timer crimp connectors provide an easy, reliable connection with a space-saving low-profile design for a wide range of signal systems. As compared to RAST insulation displacement contact (IDC) versions, this crimp version of the RAST 2.5 connector is better suited for applications with double insulation wire or with PVC tube-encased wire because wire termination is easier when contacts are separate from the housing. The connector has additional features to support assembly reliability, including lanceless contacts that are less prone to damage or deformation and an innovative hook-and-latch design that helps secure and align the contact in the housing. Contacts are further secured by an integrated terminal position assurance (TPA) device that helps prevent terminal backout.

Benefits

• Integrated TPA design helps ensure contacts are fully seated and cannot backout
• Lanceless contacts help improve assembly reliability by helping to reduce the risk of contact deformation or damage
• Innovative hook-and-latch design helps secure and align the contact in the housing
• Low-profile design (14.5 mm) supports more space-limited applications
