Features and Benefits

Mini-Fit Connectors

Self aligning interface:
Enables operator to mate connectors in hard to reach areas

Polarized mating geometry:
Ensures header and receptacle cannot be mismated

Positive locking housings:
Easy to operate thumb latch assures connectors are fully mated
Prevents accidental unmating

Mini-Fit Blind Mate Interface (BMI) Connectors

Blind mating interface:
Allows 2.54mm misalignment in x and y axis for all configurations

Mini-Fit Max (Single and Dual Row)

End-to-end stackable:
Delivers more power per linear inch and square millimeter than other mid-range power connectors

4 independent points of contact:
Offer redundant, secondary current paths for long-term performance and reliability

Tangless terminal:
Provides safety for the terminals during packing and assembly insertion

Mini-Fit Sigma

Panel mount ears recommended panel cut-outs for 0.89mm to 3.00mm thick panels panel cut-out tolerances +0.10mm:
Provides safety, and stability of housing to the pane

Seal cap supports:
Provides excellent support for the rubber cap that mounts around the back of the housing

Keying and polarization:
Allows for accurate mating to standard Mini-Fit 4.2 Power Connectors

Mini-Fit Plus High-Current System (HCS) Connectors

Crimp terminals are produced from a proprietary, high-current alloy:
Rated up to 13.0A per circuit

Receptacles and plugs accept standard Mini-Fit and Mini-Fit Plus crimp terminals:
Reduces the number of parts to be purchased and inventoried

Terminals feature a patented, elongated dimple design:
Provide long wipe lengths and increased contact area for improved long-term reliability

Mini-Fit TPA2 Connectors and Cable Assemblies

Terminal position assurance (TPA) with secondary locking feature:
Reduces assembly error and ensures terminals are fully seated to avoid end-product failure

Mini-Fit Versa Color (Glow Wire Capable)

Visual color pairing (colors can be intermated):
Ensures proper mating during termination

Panel mount and vertical header options:
Maintains current rating through application surfaces or panels

5 color options:
Offers quick identification and ease of assembly

Overview

A wide range of OEMs require high-current, high-density power connectors that also support design flexibility. To meet these needs, Mini-Fit Jr., Mini-Fit Plus, Mini-Fit Blind-Mate Interface (BMI) and Mini-Fit TPA2 Connectors offer polarized housings with isolated terminals, positive locks and low-engagement forces. All versions of Mini-Fit Jr. and Mini-Fit Plus Connectors are compatible with each other, including with Mini-Fit TPA2 and Mini-Fit BMI Components, bringing flexibility to the toughest design dilemmas.

Customers with blind mate applications require connectors that make assembly easier, protect against mis-mating and prevent potential damage to terminals. Mini-Fit BMI Connectors allow misalignment and provide up to 2.54mm of float between mating surfaces for easy blind-mate connections. Furthermore, they feature flanges that help “gather” the mating receptacle for more accurate mating.

Incorrectly assembled connectors can lead to terminal back-outs, causing end-product failure. The impact of terminal back-outs can result in liability costs to manufacturers and harm to individuals. Mini-Fit TPA2 Connectors prevent end-product failure by offering terminal position assurance (TPA), which reduces terminal back-out by providing locking redundancy. Mini-Fit TPA2 Receptacles are backward compatible with Mini-Fit Jr. Headers, eliminating the need for customers to make major revisions or investments in their applications.
