Features/Applications

Features		Applications
Addition of 2 circuit-size SMT headers and receptacles Delivers the only two-circuit connector with a 0.50mm terminal interface in the industry. Tested to full USCAR specifications. Enhances design flexibility Designed and tested to USCAR 050 specifications Industry’s only interface that meets USCAR 050 specifications. Offers from 4 to 24 circuits. Larger circuit versions also comply with USCAR specifications 50% smaller than USCAR 0.64mm unsealed interfaces Minimizes PCB footprint for design flexibility and space saving Independent secondary lock (ISL) terminal-retention feature Secures terminal inside the housing; one piece design for applied cost savings Orientation features molded into the header Provides wire-routing and module-design flexibility for both vertical and right-angle connectors. Retains the header to the PCB during the soldering process	Board alignment and retention features Simplifies header placement on the PCB and retains the header to the PCB during soldering operation(s). Protects adhesive joints during connector mating and unmating High-temperature thermoplastic housings Withstands infrared (IR) and wave lead-free solder processing per ES-40000-5013 Molex specification, up to a maximum temperature of +260°C Gold plating option Better conductivity and corrosion resistance and lower insertion force than standard tin plating Three polarization options Enables limited customization and enforces like-tolike mating via three discrete mechanical, visual, and colored polarizations CTX50 terminal wire grip design Offers harness manufacturers the ability to reduce wire gauge sizes while maintaining retention strength Connector position assurance (CPA) feature available An optional mating assurance feedback device that prevents accidental un-mating	Automotive and commercial vehicle Headliners Clusters and Navigation Radios Cameras and Sensors HVAC Switches Lighting Mirrors Target accounts or customers (non-exclusive) Ford,GM or Chrysler VW Most automotive OEMs Broad acceptance of the Mini50 platform Target customer Jjob End User Engineering Manufacturing Quality OEM

Molex Mini50 sealed wire-to-device receptacles
