NanoMQS 0.50mm Miniature Automotive Signal Connector System

TE Connectivity`s (TE) highly successful MQS connector system, the miniaturized NanoMQS connector system offers a locking lance terminal design, which audibly and tangibly latches onto the plastic housing once the terminal is fully inserted. The NanoMQS connector design has a pin pitch of 1.8mm enabling a PCB footprint reduction by up to 50% while offering up to 6 Amps of nominal current capacity, operating at a maximum operating temperature of 170°C (AG), while meeting automotive-robust specifications. The portfolio includes receptacle & tab terminals for round wires, and FFC terminal for flat flexible/printable cables including different types of contact surfaces to suit every application technical requirement.

Features

• 1.8mm pin-to-pin pitch
• 0.13 mm² to 0.35 mm² wire range
• Mating for 0.5 x 0.4 blade size
• Current capacity: 6A (90°C)
• Max. Temperature 170°C (Ag)
• 90° / 180° pin orientation
• Flame resistant UL 94 V0
• SG4 Vibration Grade (Ag)
• LV214 compliant & USCAR2 (validation in progress)
• Locking Lance design
• Top latch and side latch
• Primary and secondary contact locking
• Click-audible connector position assurance (CPA)
• Koshiri Connector Design as Anti-Stubbing feature
• 1 or 2-row, 6-40 positions (CPA option up to 28 positions)
• NanoMQS FFC terminal and housing 8, 20, 32 and 40 positions
• 1 and 2-row headers (S-bending header design)

Benefits

• Space and weight savings - Up to 50% reduced PCB footprint and terminal weight, and up to 55% reduced housing weight/packaging (compared to 2.54mm pin-pitch connector)
• Locking Functions – CPA, Koshiri, primary and secondary contact locking
• Multiple Variants – Receptacle and tab terminals for round wires, automotive-grade FFC/FPC terminal for flat flexible/printed cables including different types of contact surfaces
• Easy Adoption – Integrated into the MQS terminal family series and connector cavity compatible with Gen50 locking lance

Applications

• Battery or cell control modules
• Engine control units and airbags
• Blackbox applications with extreme space constraints (headlamps, steering wheel, mirrors, doors, cameras, audio systems)
