New from TTI Inc – Molex Perfect Fit low, mid and high range power connectors are a complete power solution for multiple applications

News

Mega-FitĀ® Series 3.0 carries up to 23.0A; Mini-Fit Jr™ for design flexibility with high current high density; Micro-Fit 3.0™ offers high current capability in smallest package

Now available at TTI, Inc., the worldā€™s leading specialist distributor of passive, connector, electromechanical and discrete components, the Molex Perfect Fit range comprises three series of robust, reliable power interconnects. Ā Mega-FitĀ®, Mini-Fit Jr™ and Micro-Fit 3.0™ connectors provide a power solution for a wide range of applications across a broad range of markets, from defence to consumer.

Mega-Fit 3.0 series interconnects offer up to 23.0A current-carrying capability, the highest on the market compared to existing mid-range power connectors. Ā This power-dense design with high current terminals, tight pitch and row spacing provides more power per linear and square millimetre than most mid-range power products. Ā Featuring a patented split-box terminal design, they have six independent points of contact to provide long-term reliability through secondary current path redundancy. These sacrificial contacts allow the system to be “hot pluggedā€œ at 48V/23.0A up to 30 cycles. Fully isolated header pins and receptacle terminals protect the device from damage during handling and mating. Ā Housings are polarised and feature positive locking for secure retention, while Ā an audible click confirms proper mating. Ā Molex Mega-Fit 3.0 connectors suit commercial vehicle power converters and unsealed electronic control modules, consumer/home applicances such as washing machines and dryers, heaters and air conditioning units, industrial applications including lighting, automation, machinery and heavy equipment, while in telecommunications and networking products, Mega-Fit 3.0 interconnects suit hubs, servers, power supplies and distribution applications.Ā 

Molex Mini-Fit Jr. connectors are optimised for high current, high density applications requiring design flexibility. Ā Suitable for power applications up to 9.0A per circuit, they are available in single or dual row 2- to 24- circuit options. Ā The Mini-fit Jr. Series features polarised mating geometry and positive locking housings with a thumb latch to ensure correct mating and prevent accidental unmating. Ā Scoop-proof housings protect terminals and header pins in the event the connector is mated at a severe angle. Ā Mini-Fit Jr interconnects are cost-effective from a purchase and inventory standpoint, as receptacles and plugs accept standard Mini-Fit and Mini-Fit Plus Ā crimp Ā terminals. Ā Available in UL94V-0, V-2, 265Ā°C reflow, Glow-Wire and Low-Halogen compliant materials, Mini-Fit interconnects meet global material requirements. Ā Suitable applications include office data and communications equipment and networking devices such as rack-mounted servers and router/switches.

Micro-Fit 3.0 low- to mid-range power distribution connectors boast the highest current power distribution capability in the smallest size device currently available on the market. Ā Electrical specification is up to 5.0A per circuit, and the series is rated at 600VAC. Ā Based on a 3.0mm centreline, Micro-Fit 3.0 is available in wire-to-wire and wire-to-board options for SMT and through-hole processing. Ā Versions include 2 to 24 circuits and both single and dual row configurations. Micro-Fit connectors feature contacts which are fully isolated each side of the interface and have four points of contact for redundancy. Ā In addition, housings feature full polarisation and positive locking to ensure secure mating. Ā Micro-Fit 3.0 interconnects are available in pure tin or two thicknesses of select gold for cost-saving. UL recognised, CSA approved and TUV licensed, all components in the series are lead-free, RoHS compliant, halogen free and glow-wire compatible. Ā They suit Aerospace and Defence COTS applications as well as alternative energy, data/communications, medical, telecommunications and consumer devices.
