EP II single-row connectors include newly-designed plug housings, a new crimp contact (terminal) design and dedicated post headers. Compared to the existing EP generation, the EP II connectors have considerably increased electric ratings. At up to 600 VAC and up to 10 Amps of current, the interconnection system can be used for standard white good and home appliances as well as for other applications with higher voltage requirements. The plug housings are compatible with current EP post headers and can be used as drop-in replacements without changes to the printed circuit board (PCB). Design goals of the connectors were to maximize ergonomics in combination with polarization tabs and an active locking latch on the housing.
