Ultra-Fit Connectors

Ultra-Fit Power Connectors deliver color-coding and keying options that eliminate same-circuit-size mis-mating, and offer the tangless feature that allows the terminal locking mechanism to be incorporated into the receptacle housing.

Product Highlights


Current: Pitch: Wire AWG:
Up to 14.0A3.50mm16 - 22

Features and Benefits


Multiple mechanically keyed color-coded options:
• Allow same-circuit, multiple-connector use with virtually no chance of cross mating
• Color coding provides visual indication of the proper mating connector — enabling faster assembly

Optional TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) retainer:
• Guarantees the terminal is fully seated in the housing to reduce terminal back-out
• Retains terminal if main retention feature fails

Positive-lock housing with anti-snag design:
• Ensures mated connector assemblies will not accidentally disengage
• Provides an audible click while mating
• Protects latch from damage due to wire snags

Terminal interface with six independent points of contact (split-box terminal design):
• Offers redundant, secondary current paths for long-term performance and reliability

Inertia enhanced latch on tangless receptacles:
• Improve audible click when mating
• Reduce the chance of wire entanglement in the latch

17% smaller footprint over similar power connectors:
• Provides PCB space savings with optimized current density
• Allows for smaller packaging without sacrificing current carrying capabilities

Ultra low mating force terminal:
• Reduces operator fatigue and improves assembly compliance for high-circuit applications

Fully isolated terminals:
• Protect against potential damage of the header and receptacle terminals during handling and mating

Multi-color cable configurations with Ultra-Fit TPA Connectors available off the shelf:
• Designed to support development and production programs. Multi-color cables ensure correct connection

Internal locking mechanism on tangless receptacles:
• Ensure that tangless terminals are fully locked into place

Overview


Ultra-Fit Connectors solve four key design challenges while offering the premium housing features of proven Mini-Fit and Micro-Fit 3.0 connector systems. Color-coded housings mitigate the risk of mis-mating. Optional TPA retainers significantly reduce terminal backout. A streamlined design provides space savings and an ultra-low mating force reduces operator fatigue when mating numerous high-circuit connectors.
