The new Molex Mini50 unsealed connector system is designed to meet the needs of vehicle manufacturers for smaller interconnects. The Molex Mini50 has smaller terminals that can insert more signals into the vehicle, saving savings compared to traditional USCAR 0.64mm connectors 50% space. The company says it is approved as the industry's only USCAR 050 interface.
In today's transportation industry, the integration of multiple devices requires lighter, smaller, and more cost-effective wiring harnesses. Molex Mini50 harnesses provide highly reliable performance in confined spaces and are suitable for infotainment, lighting and HVAC system applications.
The tremendous growth in car entertainment and safety options means installing multiple electronic systems into the same space inside a car. Molex responded by developing Mini50 sealed and unsealed wire-to-board sockets with smaller pin, terminal and wire sizes, enabling device manufacturers to tightly package circuits and reduce PCB footprint for larger Design flexibility. The Molex Mini50 unsealed connector system includes 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 circuit-sized sockets and connectors in single and dual row configurations. Its features include an independent secondary locking (ISL) terminal holder with a one-piece design, which saves application costs and provides a connector position guarantee latch to prevent accidental plugging. Three polarization options are provided to ensure similar matching through three discrete mechanisms,
The Molex Mini50 system has a number of features designed to help simplify and simplify the assembly process:-Orientation feature molded into the plug provides routing and module design flexibility for vertical and right-angle connectors and secures the plug to the PCB during soldering The alignment and fixing function of the circuit board simplifies the placement of the plug on the PCB and secures the plug during the soldering process.
Molex Mini50 unsealed connector systems are used in automotive and commercial vehicles including headliners, radios, cameras, sensors, navigators, switches, lighting and HVAC systems.
