High current-density power connectors
23 September 2015
Interconnection
The wire-to-board Mega-Fit product line from Molex delivers mid-range current capacity in a 5,70 mm pitch, making it 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 vehicle.
Due to the critical nature and safety requirements of power interconnects, the terminal interface and crimp section integrates advanced technology, such as a split-box terminal design that 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 un-mating, allowing the system to be hot plugged at 48 V/23 A and up to 30 cycles.
The terminals also feature an extended barrel conductor crimp providing an extremely strong terminal-to-wire retention, which ensures long-term durability and reliability. The connectors maintain many of the same characteristics found in the premium lines of Molex power products, such as isolated terminals, positive housing locks and polarised housings.
