Weather Pack components can be utilized in both in-line and panel-mount applications. They are ideally suited for use in harsh environments where resistance to temperature extremes, chemicals and fluids are a must.
An in-line connection consists of a shroud connector housing male terminals mated to a tower connector assembly housing female terminals.
A panel-mount connection consists of a tower connector assembly housing male terminals mated to a device housing female terminals.
Note: When designing a part to mate with a Weather Pack connector, consult Delphi print 12020084. Always request the latest copy from Delphi before releasing a new design. It is recommended that the above connector/terminal gender guidelines be followed to ensure optimum alignment and assembly ease.
Weather Pack terminals utilize a flex-pin and lap-lock design to alleviate the problem of stress relaxation. They also have dual-locking tangs which lock into the connector cavity and help prevent backing out. Terminal plugging requires no orientation and positive indexing prevents mis-mating of connectors. Because Weather Pack provides exceptional sealing performance, it is extensively used in tough applications including construction, off-road and farm equipment.
