Small connectors carry big currents

With a 1.27-mm pitch, single-row MiniBridge connectors are very compact and offer high current-carrying capacity (up to 8 A/contact). As such, they not only suit  automotive applications such as LED front and rear lights, IR distance sensors, head-up displays and switch elements, but also lighting  applications for LCD/TFT/LED displays, handheld devices, and control panel elements.

The connectors accommodate both ribbon cables and discrete wires and are available with 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 pins. Male connectors have SMT terminals, whereas the female connectors have IDC terminals. In addition, the female connectors are available with two types of interlocking for normal vibration/shock loads as well as for high vibration/shock loads. Available with straight and angled male and female connectors with 90° and 180° cable outlet, the cable connectors come fully assembled from stock in PVC, high temperature (TPE-ET), and halogen-free versions.
