Molex Mini50 Sealed Single-Row Automotive Connectors

Molex Mini50 Sealed Single-Row Automotive Connectors are 4-circuit and 10-circuit option connectors with a sealed interface that delivers a 25% space savings over traditional sealed 0.64mm connectors. The sealed Mini50 components feature smaller terminals to fit more low-current electrical circuits in sealed transportation-vehicle environments. Typical applications include power steering, cameras, sensors, braking, exterior lights, and mirrors.

Features

  • Sealed receptacle
    • Delivers 0.50mm connector interface tested to meet full USCAR specifications
    • No parting lines on sealing surfaces
    • IP68 rating, IP69K with backshell
    • Enhances design flexibility
  • Optional CPA provides mating assurance feedback and prevents accidental un-mating
  • Independent secondary lock (ISL) terminal-retention feature molds into the receptacle housing as one piece for applied cost savings
  • Polarization options
    • Eliminates mating and assembly errors
    • Color-coded to correspond to the polarity
  • Reduced packages sizes
    • 25% smaller footprint compared to USCAR 0.64mm unsealed interfaces
    • Reduces PCB footprint by 30% compared to 4-circuit connectors
  • Rounded shape allows for through-hole mounting
