Molex Micro-Fit First Mate Last Break (FMLB) terminals

As consumers demand smaller, faster, more powerful devices, Micro-Fit Connectors offer a compact, high-performance interconnect solution, blending power and flexibility without compromising space or reliability. These connectors also provide grounding protection and halogen-free components to meet government regulation guidelines for environment health and safety (EH&S) compliance. Designed for durability and proficiency, Micro-Fit Connectors are feature rich, including FMLB for enhanced safety, unmatched design flexibility and excellent cost savings.

Features

• Allows up to 2.54mm misalignment
• Self-aligning feature is molded into housings for blind-mating capability
• Offers header retention and strain relief options
• Fitting nails and solderable clips are available
• Increases durability; supports ergonomics and user-friendly interfaces
• These connectors have RMF terminals
• Improves safety due to hot-mating compatible design
• FMLB terminals help engineers safely enable hot-plug connections by controlling the order in which circuits connect and disconnect
• Terminals are rated and structured specifically for safe use in hot-plugging environments, unlike standard connectors
• Longer ground pins establish the grounding path before live circuits engage
• Helps prevent connector damage
• Pin-mating sequence enables grounding first, then power and signal (disconnect in reverse order)
• The FMLB option controls the connection order which helps minimize arcing, extending the connector life
• Provides design flexibility
• SMT, press-fit through-hole compliant pin interface and surface-mount compatible versions are available
• Provides excellent cost savings
• These connectors are potting capable and do not require the use of sealants, thereby reducing customer’s raw material costs
