Weatherproof interconnect system

14 April 2010 Interconnection

Molex’s new Mini-Fit H2O is a weather-proof, compact connection system designed for wire-to-wire applications of up to 9,0 A per circuit. The product family is IP67 rated, which ensures connector integrity when submersed in up to one metre of water. The range consists of plug and receptacle assemblies, and male and female crimp terminals. The plug and receptacle assemblies are equipped with pre-installed interface and wire seals, providing a low applied cost compared to connectors with manually installed seals.

The compact size of the Mini-Fit H2O makes it a suitable choice for space-restricted applications such as those found in automotive, lighting systems and medical devices. The terminals have a ‘wingless’ design that will not damage seals upon installation or removal. Terminals will accept both 18 and 20 AWG, UL 1015 wires. Other features include a positive locking system to ensure the connectors are securely mated and prevent accidental unmating, and UV-stabilised materials which allow the products to be exposed to direct sunlight.
