Molex’s wide range of OEMs require high-current, high-density power connectors that also support design flexibility. Mini-Fit TPA2 power connectors meet these needs by offering polarized housings with isolated terminals, positive locks, and low-engagement forces.
Mini-Fit TPA2 power connectors provide manufacturers with a secure and reliable solution to ensure proper mating and prevent accidental terminal back-outs that can lead to product failure. The terminal position assurance (TPA) provides a secondary locking feature to reduce assembly error. If a contact is not properly positioned, the TPA will not fully latch onto the housing, alerting the assembler to fix the error. The fully isolated header pins and terminals protect contacts from damage during handling and mating. The positive-lock receptacle makes an audible click when the connection is made to establish that assemblies will not accidentally disengage.
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 all while delivering 9.0 A current rating.
