The Mini-Fit family from Molex has been introduced at Rutronik, expanding its connector portfolio.

The connectors are designed for an operating temperature of -40°C to +125°C and are available in board-to-board, wire-to-board and wire-to-wire configurations. They deliver up to 13.0 A, while the available options for dummy plugs and terminal position locking create a versatile connector system. All versions are backwards compatible, making them an optimal solution for even the most difficult design problems. They are ideal for a wide range of applications, such as automotive, industrial, telecommunications, networking or medical. They are housed in nylon enclosures and are available in reel, bag or tray packaging.

Mini-Fit works at a nominal power of up to 600 VAC/DC and has a dielectric strength of 2,200 VAC and an insulation resistance of 10 mΩ. Thanks to the terminal position lock with a secondary locking option, they reduce assembly errors and ensure that the terminals are seated correctly. The connectors are RoHS compliant and meet the requirements of the flammability standard UL 94V-0.
