• TE Connectivity 2.5 mm MULTILOCK 040 Series Automotive Connectors. MULTILOCK 040 Series automotive connectors designed for use as I/O connectors in automotive applications. These MULTILOCK 040 series have a compact design with high density 2.5 mm contact centres and are also durable and easy to handle. The housings of these MULTILOCK 040 automotive connectors protect the contacts against damage caused by rocking action (KOJIRI Action) that occurs at the mating and unmating stages. The MULTILOCK 040 plug and receptacle housings have a housing lance design enabling lanceless contacts to be used. The use of lanceless contacts avoids tangling and lance deformation is eliminated. The key feature of these MULTILOCK 040 connectors is the locking mechanism. The standard MULTILOCK 040 plug and receptacle housings feature an integral double lock mechanism to ensure a secure contact retention. The MULTILOCK 040 Mk II plug housing has a locking mechanism consisting of a 2 piece double lock plate for secure contact retention and prevention of partial insertion. The MULTILOCK 040 range of automotive connectors consists of plug and receptacle housings and PCB headers for use in wire to wire and wire to board applications. The plug housings require female crimp contacts, the receptacle housings require male tab contacts. Crimp contacts must be ordered separately. Features and Benefits.
