Escubedo has modified the standard UPLOK terminals that did not permit the application of a secondary lock on connectors. The improvement applied resolves the lack of UP-LOK connections with TPA or a secondary lock. The geometry of these terminals was changed between the crimping zone and the contact zone to guarantee that they are always inserted in the connector in the same position. We have used the same philosophy in the connector as in the UPFIT selection, acting as a secondary lock.
UPLOK2 has a collapsible cover on the connector which, once closed, ensures that the terminal is in its position, guaranteeing the secondary lock’s operation. The dimensions of these connectors and terminals are completely compatible with the UPLOK range, and it is also possible to make male-female connections between the two ranges with no problems.
