Molex Mini-Fit Sr. Cable Receptacle HousingsIntroducing the Mini-Fit series of plug housings from Molex. Versatile, durable and easily configurable for coupling connectors & PCBs together. The Mini-Fit series of fittings compliments Molex's existing line of connectors, by adding a higher power system.Features and benefits• UL, CSA, TUV approved - giving you the reassurance of thorough testing of the components.• Available in single/dual row configurations depending on your needs.• Suitable for Wire to Wire & Wire to Board configurations.• Compact significant power into a single connector (suitable for design engineers) without the need of multiple connectors.• If a single row is already specced, no other certification is needed for a dual row.• All Mini-Fit Sr. features UL94V-0 zero polyester, 10mm pitch. Positive mechanical latches to stop unintentional mounting disengagement.• Fully isolated towers to prevent shorting or arcing.• Panel mount ears for design flexibility. Extremely durable, featuring IP68 sealing protection (check product datasheet).• The Mini-Fit Sr. Series has TPA security (terminal position assurance) which is a secondary locking device inserted into the housing to ensure that terminals are fully inserted and locked into the receptacle.• Polarised so insertion can only be one direction. Eliminating terminal backouts.• Headers are made of high temp for six glass filled nylon that is surface mount compatible.• Surface mount compatibility includes PCB retention clips accomdating PCB board sizes such as .250' .125' .0.93' .0.62'.ApplicationsThe Mini-Ft Sr. series is suited for high power, high current applications such as:• Industrial networking equipment• Power transmission• Telecommunications• Computer workstations• Servers• UPS systems• Power supplies• Generators• Welding equipmentMolex Mini-Fit Sr Female Connector Housing, 2 Way, 10mm Pitch - 42816 Series - 42816-0212This female connector housing from Molex provides reliable protection for connections between wires and printed circuit boards (PCBs). It's designed for use with Molex's Mini-Fit Sr series of compact and high-power connectors. The polyethylene terephthalate (PET) housing is highly durable and provides good electrical insulation, so it can withstand heavy-duty applications without softening or degrading. This material is also flame-retardant and moisture-resistant to ensure safety and long-lasting performance.• Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C for use in harsh industrial environments• Straight body orientation ensures wires are simply laid out and organised• Maximum current of 50A per contact for use in high-current applications• Terminal back-out prevented by terminal position assurance (TPA) locking device for a secure connection• Compact dimensions of 23.5 (length) x 14.8mm (width) for use on PCBs where space is limitedApplications• Telecommunications• Consumer devices• Industrial controls• Medical industryHow do I put this housing onto a connector?The housing is designed for crimping or fitting over a connector. As it's fully polarised, the housing is simple to attach and minimises the risk of incorrect insertion or mating.Molex Minifit Sr.™ Series
