Features and Benefits

Designers face space constraints as they attempt to fit additional electronics within the same real estate.

ConnTAK50 Connector’s 1.80mm pitch and smaller package size make it easier to design-in new capabilities, potentially decreasing engineering costs and speeding up time to market.

Engineers often settle for large connector systems when they need many circuits to satisfy current-rating requirements.

The ConnTAK50 System delivers as many as 22 circuits and a 6.0A current rating within a package even smaller than the Mini50 Connector.

Unionized automaker plants require an exceptionally low mate force for connectors.

ConnTAK50 Connectors’ low mating force meets stringent plant requirements. Automotive assemblers will find it easier to mate connectors, which may lower labor costs and speed up assembly time.

Meets LV 214, GMW 3191 and USCAR specifications

ConnTAK50 Connectors were specifically designed to meet the requirements of European, Chinese and U.S. automotive markets

Overview

Marketplace demands are leading automotive OEMs to include more infotainment and safety options in their vehicles. As a result, space constraints are a growing issue as designers need to fit additional electronics in the same real estate. ConnTAK50 Connectors offer a compact 1.80mm pitch for the dual-row version, easing space constraints.

Some tier 1 automotive suppliers have a need for a vertical SMT header. However, few connector manufacturers offer this configuration for automobile applications. The ConnTAK50 Connector System includes a vertical SMT header which enables automated assembly.

The AK interface and terminal are common in the European automotive marketplace. Therefore, connectors that are mate-able with this interface and can house AK terminals are in demand. ConnTAK50 Connectors have been designed with both the AK interface and cavity. As a result, they are mate-able with existing AK connectors and can be used with AK terminals. Therefore, the ConnTAK50 Connector is a drop-in replacement for existing competitor AK connectors.
