Overview


Rugged automobile and industrial applications can be subject to shock, vibration or rough handling that can dislodge terminals and cause signal interference. MicroTPA Wire-to-Board and Wire-to-Wire Connector System features terminal design with positive lock for secure mating retention. High retention force and inner lock provides electrical reliability in rugged environments.

Water sensitive consumer applications require potting sealing on their PC board. MicroTPA vertical high wall header with raised bottom and ledge allows application of potting material to cover the PC board.

Often designers from consumer and vehicle industries have a footprint space issue on their PC board because of increasing demand for more components. MicroTPA Wire-to-Board and Wire-to-Wire Connector System is a very compact connector system with 2.00mm pitch and positive lock.

Customers choose different connectors from different vendors, this makes their procurement process complex and often causes compatibility issues. MicroTPA Wire-to-Board and Wire-to-Wire Connector System is available in 2- to 15-circuit single-row connectors in vertical configurations with TPA retainer. Furthermore, Molex has a wide range of connectors for almost all connector requirements in nearly all the markets.
