New connectors reduce cable assembly time and improve reliability

RS Components now offers the Molex MUO 2.5 series of terminal connectors, which have been designed to replace CE terminals and, in turn, reduce harness-assembly lead times, as well as improving quality, reliability and processing. The connectors can simplify the termination process by removing tangled wires, decreasing the number of quality issues and potentially even negating the need for extra inspections. Typical applications that can benefit from these devices include equipment such as air conditioners, fan heaters, floor-heating and HVAC systems, as well as other appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines, or anywhere terminations are required. Features of the connectors include two separated retainers to protect cables and secure the terminal position, which also prevent wire entanglement and eliminate electrical-shock hazards; and a simple water-exhaust function that is designed to prevent water from permeating inside.
