TE Connectivity Mini I/O Connectors

The Industrial Mini I/O connector system is a compact, wire to wire and wire-to-board solution for reliably serial, bus and Ethernet connections in industrial applications.

With only 25% of the size of a conventional RJ45, TE’s Industrial Mini I/O solution allows you to save on valuable boards space. Combined with reduced height, it allows for building very compact DIN rail system modules and has been designed for the stringent demands of industrial environments.

High retention of the board connectors, combined with a compact metal latching mechanism prevents accidental pull and/or unmating, reducing potential system down time. Stable connections are guaranteed, and unnecessary consequential communication losses are prevented by a contact system with double point of contact, designed to deal with the shock and vibrations common to industrial environments.

Key features

• Small form factor reduces PCB area and equipment height
• High board retention and metal latch prevents unnecessary disconnections
• Improved coplanarity and LCP materials allow for the latest assembly process technologies
• Two unique interfaces (Type 1 and Type 2) prevent unwanted mismating
• Stable connections are guaranteed by the optimized signal path design, 360 degrees shielding and a contact system with double contact point
