Mini-Fit® General Overview
Mini-Fit Jr.
™
The Mini-Fit Jr. was specifically developed for positive
locking, wire-to-wire and wire-to-board applications. It is
available in single row and dual row versions. The system
offers the widest range of circuit sizes.
Mini-Fit BMI
™
For blind-mating applications, the Mini-Fit BMI was
introduced. The receptacle housing is self-aligning and will
move up to 0.050" in the x and y axes, when properly
installed in a panel. The system is suitable for panel-topanel, panel-to-board or board-to-board applications.
It features wave-solderable headers, reflow-solderable
headers and press-fit headers.
Mini-Fit TPA
™
This version of the Mini-Fit family was uniquely designed to
assure that the terminals are fully seated in the receptacle
and plug housings and cannot back out. The system is for
positive locking, wire-to-wire and wire-to-board applications.
Mini-Fit Plus HCS
™
The Mini-Fit Plus HCS was designed for high current
applications as it is capable of handling current loads of as
much as 12.0A. The gold-plated terminals and headers are
hot-pluggable; i.e., ideal for applications that require hot
mating and unmating of connectors. This is the most flexible
Mini-Fit system since it is offered in Mini-Fit Jr, Mini-Fit BMI
and Mini-Fit TPA design formats.
Mini-Fit Plus HMC
™
The Mini-Fit Plus High Mating Cycle specializes in applications
that require hundreds of mating cycles. It is also blindmating. Solutions for panel-to-panel, panel-to-board and
board-to-board applications exist.
Mini-Fit RTC
™
Mini-Fit RTC, reflow temperature capable headers were
designed for use in lead free processing environments.
They are made from high temperature LCP and mate with
standard Mini-Fit Jr. receptacles.
Mini-Fit H2O
The Mini-Fit H2O is IP 67 rated for waterproof applications.
The housings are made from a UV stable material making
them suitable for outdoor applications. Mini-Fit H2O has
integral seals that keep moisture and dust out. Seals are
preinstalled by Molex to lower applied costs.
