Molex Mega-Fit power connectors
Molex announces Mega-Fit power connectors
Mega-Fit power connectors deliver 30.0A per circuit through fully protected header pins and receptacle terminals while offering unique keying options to ensure proper mating during termination.
Features
- Power-dense design with high-current terminals, tight pitch and row spacing
- Provides more power per linear and square millimeter than other midrange power products in the industry
- Positive locking housing
- Ensures secure retention when receptacle and header are mated. Delivers an audible click to provide feedback that connector is fully mated
- Tin-planted contacts available
- Enhances design flexibility. Provides significant cost savings
- Sacrificial contacts
- Allows system to be “hot plugged” at 48V/30.0A up to 30cycles
- Tangless terminal design
- Reduces the risk of handling or transit damage
- Terminal interface with six independent points of contact (splitbox terminal design)
- Offers redundant, secondary current paths for long-term performance and reliability
- Crush peg removal
- Delivers a smaller footprint on the PCB
- Flexible wire gauge options
- From 10AWG to 16AWG offers superior design options for reliable connections
- Polarization peg to engage with PCB
- Replaces the crush pegs to provide stability without taking up room on the PCB. Aids assembly by ensuring correct orientation
- Fully isolated header pins and receptacle terminals
- Protects against potential damage during handling and mating
Dual-Row W-to-W
- Polarizing and unique keying features
- Provides protection of the terminals in the receptacle
- Allows for compatibility with all current Mega-Fit Dual-Row headers
- Prevents electrical arcing when charged
- Avoids mis-mating of receptacles to header housings
- New latch design
- Provides superior retention when mated to the header and allows for lowmating force
- TPA
- Prevents terminal backout New housing material Meets V0 and glow-wire European standards
- TPA lead-in
- Provides a guide and leadin for the TPA on both the receptacle and plug
- New housing material
- Meets V0 and glow-wire European standards
Single Row
- Fully isolated terminals
- Protects against potential damage of header terminals during mating
- Inertia latch
- Provides superior retention when mated to the header and allows for low-mating force
- Internal receptacle locking mechanism
- Supports the tangless locking terminal with low insertion force
