Molex Mini50 Connection System
Molex Mini50 Connection System achieves 50% space savings over traditional USCAR 0.64mm connectors with sealed or unsealed Mini50 single- and dual-row receptacles, with smaller terminals to fit more low-current electrical circuits in interior transportation-vehicle environments. The integration of multiple devices in today’s transportation industry creates the need for harnesses with reduced weight and space. Molex Mini50 harnesses provide reliable performance in a limited space, making them ideal for applications within the infotainment, lighting, and HVAC systems.
Features
- Reduced package sizes
- Approximately 50% smaller than USCAR 0.64mm unsealed interfaces
- Orientation features are molded into the header
- Either vertical or right-angle orientations are possible, providing wire-routing and module-design flexibility
- Retain the header to the PCB during the soldering process
- High-performing sealed receptacle using matte-seal design
- Ideal for sealed applications where IPX8 rating is required
- High-temperature thermoplastic housings withstand infrared (IR) and wave lead-free solder processing per ES-40000-5013 Molex specification, maximum temperature +260°C
- Various polarization options
- Three discrete mechanical, visual, and colored polarizations
- CTX50 terminal wire grip design (0.13 to 0.35mm²)
- Meets USCAR 050 standards
- Sealed, round shape design allows for through-hole harness routing
- Board alignment and retention features
- Simplify header PCB placement and retain header to PCB during soldering operation(s)
- Protect adhesive joints during connector mating and unmating
- Female terminal wire grips for wires 0.35mm² and smaller
- Independent secondary lock (ISL) terminal-retention feature
- Connector position assurance (CPA) latch optional
