Molex mega-fit connectors
Molex announces mega-fit connectors
As next-generation devices require more functionality, speed and power, design engineers face the challenge of delivering increased current in space-constrained designs. Mega-fit connectors deliver superior performance in low-to-mid-power applications by handling high currents up to 30.0A. With an innovative, compact design, these robust connectors are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of USCAR2 standards and are ideal for challenging environments. These products also offer a diverse range of features, including terminal position assurance (TPA), connector position assurance (CPA) and potting capabilities for secure connections and long-term reliability. Offering unmatched flexibility to meet various manufacturing demands, the mega-fit connector portfolio is an exceptional choice for your design needs.
Features
- Allows same-circuit, multipleconnector use with virtually no chance of cross- mating; provides visual indication of the properly mated connector for faster assembly
- There are multiple mechanical keying and color-coded options with polarization for operational safety and efficient assembly.
- Reduces the risk of handling and transit damage
- A tangless terminal design is available with TPA receptacles only.
- Offers a compact mid-power solution
- A small pitch size allows these connectors to take up less space on the PCB and provide the power designers require in a limited space.
- Ensures mated connector assemblies will not accidentally disengage
- The TPA feature reduces assembly errors and ensures terminals are fully seated and will not back out. These connectors also offer a CPA option for additional locking security.
- Meets USCAR2 specifications for shock and vibration
- These connectors are suitable for use in automotive applications (not suitable for safety or on-engine applications).
- Helps prevent dust and moisture at lower costs than for sealed products
- Potting-capable headers ensure environmental protection and longterm reliability.
- Creates space efficiency, optimal current paths, and enhanced robustness and reliability
- Unique terminal designs use two similar wire gauges in one terminal and include a double crimp option.
