TE Connectivity have today introduced a new small, compact, latching, wire-to-board I/O interface that allows for safe high-speed connections at all angles. Enabling reliable connections, the Industrial Mini I/O connectivity system has been designed with two points of contact. Built for industrial and high vibration environments, the new connectivity system facilitates increased reliability compared to other I/O alternatives.

Offering a high retention rate force of up to 98N, the compact latching feature protects the plug from accidental pull and un-mating. This helps to prevent downtime, unstable connections and unnecessary consequential losses. The Industrial Mini I/O connectivity system uses up to 75 percent less space compared to conventional RJ45 plugs, offering greater design flexibility on the PCB. This results in engineers being given the freedom to decrease the size of their overall applications. With these benefits, the Industrial Mini I/O is well equipped to lead Industry 4.0 trends towards miniaturization and intelligent production.

The connectivity system is available in two polarized versions to prevent mis-mating. The most common applications for TE’s Industrial Mini I/O connectivity system are industrial communications; motion and drives; PLCs; and robotics—or anywhere design engineers need to increase PCB space by 75 percent.
