The MX81 series from Japan Aviation Electronics (JAE) has been specially developed for compact control units, sensors and lighting systems in automobiles. The connectors are available in 2- and 4-pin versions and feature a contact-stable, vibration-resistant design in accordance with USCAR-2.
The identical crimp design of the MX81 connectors and the popular MX80 series is a significant advantage for OEMs and suppliers who combine sealed and unsealed systems. With a contact pitch of 2.54 mm, high current-carrying capacity up to 10.2 A (depending on the conductor cross-section) and compact dimensions, the series meets the requirements of modern miniature architectures in vehicle construction.
The female and inline-male connectors feature an integrated TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) lock with a hinge mechanism that ensures easy and secure installation. Color coding also facilitates error-free assignment and reduces installation times.
The compatible through-hole pin headers are made of UL94 V-0-rated material and suitable for reflow soldering processes, making the series ideal for space-critical applications on control boards. Their high vibration resistance and compact design make them the optimal solution for electronic systems in modern vehicle platforms.
