Molex introduces the Mini-Fit H2O mid-range power connector

Article Type: New products From: Microelectronics International, Volume 27, Issue 1

Molex Incorporated has introduced the Mini-Fit H2O™ weatherproof, compact connection system designed for wire-to-wire applications of up to 9.0 A per circuit. The Mini-Fit H2O connector system is IP67-rated, which ensures connector integrity when submersed in up to 1 m of water. The product family 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 engineers with a lower applied cost compared to connectors with manually installed seals.

The compact size of the Mini-Fit H2O make it the preferred choice for tight-space applications such as those found in automotive, lighting systems, and medical devices. The terminals have a new “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.
