Features and Benefits
Overview
Power-application customers are faced with choosing between headers with exposed terminals that leave connectors susceptible to damage and large, fully isolated headers that take up too much space. Compact Mega-Fit Dual-Row W-to-W and Single-Row Connectors provide design engineers with fully protected header terminals in a small package.
Design engineers are faced with the challenge of greater power requirements with less PCB footprint space. Packaging options have been limited to much lower- or higher-amperage connectors in this footprint size with limited plating options. Mega-Fit Dual-Row W-to-W and Single-Row Connectors solve this issue by eliminating crush pegs and freeing up even more real estate on PCBs than standard Mega-Fit headers do.
When design engineers use multiple headers with the same circuit size on one PCB, assembly becomes complicated due to possible mating of a receptacle to the wrong header. Mega-Fit Dual-Row W-to-W and Single-Row Connectors offer different mechanical keying options, reducing the risk of cross-mating.
Sometimes operators improperly engage connectors and face fatigue in high-force mating. Mated connectors can also require pull forces for disconnecting. With a new latch design, Mega-Fit Dual-Row W-to-W and Single-Row Connectors provide superior retention when mated to the header. They also require low force to mate and unmate.
The European electrical standard requires a glow-wire capable solution. Mega-Fit Dual-Row W-to-W and Single-Row Connectors use a V0/glow-wire combination resin, making it V0 and glow-wire compatible in a single part number per component.
