The new Mega-Fit power connector line from Molex is a wire-to-board system delivering 23 A in a small 5,70 mm footprint.
It is ideal for applications requiring power from 14 to 23 A per terminal across multiple industries including consumer/home appliance; networking and telecommunications; industrial and commercial vehicles.
Due to the critical nature and safety requirements of power interconnects, the terminal interface and crimp section of the connector integrates advanced technology: the split-box terminal design staggers six contact points, each of which moves independently on a separate flexible beam in order to deliver a redundant, secondary current path for long-term reliability. The staggered contacts allow the front four ‘sacrificial’ contacts to protect the two rear points of contact when unmating, allowing the system to be hot plugged at 48 V/23 A for up to 30 cycles.
The terminals also feature an extended barrel conductor crimp providing extremely strong terminal-to-wire retention, which provides long-term durability and reliability. The Mega-Fit 5,70 mm pitch connectors also maintain many of the characteristics found in the premium lines of Molex power products including isolated terminals, positive housing locks and polarised housings.
