Overview

Food preparation equipment (such as smart and industrial cookers) need robust connectors that can withstand high-temperature operations. High-temperature VersaBlade Connectors support wide temperature operating range of -55 to +150°C.

Consumer and industrial devices can be subject to shock, vibration or rough handling that may dislodge terminals and cause signal interruption and performance. The VersaBlade Wire-to-Wire Connector offers positive locking with high retention force for improved reliability in rugged operations and environments. VersaBlade Connectors also offer TPA accessories for proper terminal seating and positioning.

Makers of food preparation equipment are looking for wire-to-wire interconnect solutions that meet glow wire requirements as part of EU safety regulations (IEC60335-1) ― this is particularly so for the home appliance market, where high-temperature operations are involved. VersaBlade Connector housings are glow wire capable and meet the global safety standards.
