Infinite Housings

TE Connectivity's two- and three-position housings are designed for use with K-style infinite switches. Infinite switches are rotary switches commonly used to control resistive heating elements. These switches are used on electric cooking ranges, space heaters, hot plates, and similar applications. TE has developed a broad range of housings for infinite switches used in the appliance industry. These housings, including models for K-style infinite switches, offer applied cost savings and error proofing. TE's housings are designed for positive lock Mark II receptacle terminals which offer low insertion force and high retention force. These TE housings are designed to accept both single and double crimps, potentially lowering the applied costs by eliminating unnecessary splices.
