With Amphenol's Minitek® Pwr 3.0, Rutronik introduces a compact, robust connector system for power applications up to 5 A per contact. It addresses designs where compact design and reliable power transmission are required. In addition to the wide range of variants (dual-row 2 - 24 pins, single-row 2 - 12 pins), the polarized mating geometry ensures error-free mating; fully insulated contacts protect against damage, and the low mating forces facilitate assembly in the field and in production. A blind-mating option (BMI) is available for assemblies that are difficult to access, enabling secure mating with tolerance compensation. The Minitek® Pwr 3.0 Connector System is available.
Electrically and mechanically, the series is designed for reliable operation: With dielectric strength up to 600 Vrms, a temperature range of -40 °C to +105 °C, and up to 30 mating cycles.
Materials such as UL94 V-0-classified LCP and optional glow-wire conformity in accordance with IEC 60695 emphasize the suitability for household appliances and industrial environments.
