Low mating force high-density power connectors eliminate cross connection

TTI Europe now stocks Molex Ultra-Fit Series connectors which eliminate same-circuit-size cross mating, optimize space savings and ease assembly with a low mating force action. Each industry faces different power connector challenges. Failures can occur in appliances as a result of mis-mated connectors. Terminal back-out or other potential assembly errors can lead to dangerous brake malfunctions in vehicles. Pervasive data growth is driving PCB makers to use more electronics in smaller spaces; sourcing small, yet power-dense, electronics is a dilemma. Ultra-Fit power connectors address these issues, solving four key design challenges while offering the premium housing features of proven Mini-Fit and Micro-Fit 3.0 connector systems. Colour-coded housings mitigate the risk of mis-mating. Optional TPA retainers significantly reduce terminal back-out. A streamlined design that is 17% smaller than competing power connectors provides space savings, and an ultra-low mating force reduces operator fatigue when mating numerous high-circuit count connectors, says the company.
