Molex 221442 series Mini-Fit Sigma Low Mating Force (LMF) terminal

Design engineers are often challenged with space constraints, the need for glow wire compatible products and increasing costs associated with the bill of materials (BOM). Mini-Fit connectors offer a slim profile and mate with existing Mini-Fit headers, allowing for space savings without changing the BOM. These connectors overcome many challenges PCB designers encounter and provide excellent features for reliability. The Mini-Fit connector family delivers up to 13.0A, while blind-mating and terminal position assurance options provide a versatile connector system for a wide range of applications.

Features:

• Protects against potential damage during handling
  • The connector housings have fully isolated terminals to protect against potential damage to terminals.
• Helps maximize productivity and efficiency
  • The Mini-Fit Sigma low mating force terminals offer lower mating force of approximately 30% of that of the existing contacts for Mini-Fit Sigma/TPA 2 contacts. This lower mating force provides improved ergonomics within the entire connector-mated system that increases efficiency.
• Helps ensure header and receptacle cannot be mis-mated
  • The polarized mating geometry protects against mis-mating.
• Provides a lower mating force contact to improve impact to the operator
  • The Mini-Fit Sigma Low Mating Force Terminals improve overall assembly ergonomics for production line operators to reduce injury from high volume assembly or mating of connectors and provides more overall assembly efficiency.
• Allows 2.54mm misalignment in x and y axis for all configurations
  • Mini-Fit Blind-Mate Interface connectors provide up to 2.54mm of float between mating surfaces for easy blind-mate connections.
• Helps ensure connectors are fully mated with easy-to operate thumb latch
  • The Mini-Fit connectors offer housings with positive locks to support design flexibility by preventing accidental unmating.
• Reduces assembly errors and helps to ensure terminals are fully seated to avoid end-product failure
  • Terminal position assurance (TPA) reduces terminal back-out by providing locking redundancy.
