Molex Mini-Fit products and KK systems expand customization, modification and expansion

RF cable can be customized for other specifications

Molex , the world's leading provider of complete interconnect products, announces that its Mini-Fit products and KK "module" connector systems add a new set of customization, modification and expansion for small pitch, high current, high density applications. Modification and extension, CME) function. The CME models of Mini-Fit and KK connector products are available in a variety of power, circuit count, configuration and size parameters, for wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, and board-to-board standard products and mid-power products in blind-plug applications. The best flexibility.

Morey Product Manager Corey Schroeder said: "To better meet the ever-changing and unique customer specifications, our global product team has developed a full range of value-added customization, modification and expansion capabilities for the popular and proven Mini. -Fit and KK power connector solutions. Customers can quickly meet unique requirements in a low-cost manner according to application specifications, with only a few mold modifications or changes -- and at least zero or even zero mold cost."

Mini-Fit CME applications include but are not limited to:

• Special polarization to distinguish repeating circuit specifications
• Custom molds for housings and sockets
• Long solder tail for thicker printed circuit boards
• Latch-free, double-sided latch, slide-lock
• First break contact
• Custom panel installation
• Color shell

The Mini-Fit interconnect is suitable for power applications up to 13.0A per channel, with single or dual row, 2 to 24 options, and a variety of coatings and materials. Other key attributes include an operating temperature range of -40 to +105 °C, fully isolated terminals, a robust housing lock, low engagement force and polarized housing and socket. The Mini-Fit product line includes the Mini-Fit Jr.TM, blind plug connector, compliant pin connector and waterproof sealed connector.

KK ^? CME features include but are not limited to:

• Provide 180 degree polarized offset connector entry hole - power and signal in the same housing
• Bend PC solder tails for optimal solder contact with printed circuit boards
• Long solder tail for thicker printed circuit boards
• Polarized keys and studs ensure one-way mating
• Provides additional polarized molded invalid needles
• Custom needle length
• Tin or gold plating

Multi-purpose KK connectors and sockets enable thousands of configurations for 2.50 to 5.08mm centerline applications with up to 13.0A current and 600V signal voltage per channel. The Molex KK portfolio includes integral and split connectors, PCB sockets, housings and terminals.

Schroeder added: "There are now hundreds of millions of Mini-Fit and KK connector products deployed around the world, in almost every industry - from home appliances, automotive and medical equipment to data communications, telecommunications, networking and Commercial equipment --- provides power reliability and performance."

Mini-Fit products have obtained UL approval, CSA certification and TUV approval, and KK products have obtained UL recognition and CSA certification. Molex's interconnect components are lead-free and RoHS compliant.
