MX80 Series Compact waterproof automotive connector

 

Compact Waterproof Connector MX80 Series


JAE has recently developed an industry and class-leading, high performance, miniature sealed connector system for the automotive market. As car manufacturers continuously strive to add functionality, more and more electrical and electronic systems must be fitted into smaller spaces and connectors are often the last consideration. The need for miniaturization has never been higher than it is today. In some extreme cases, the connectors have larger dimensions than the modules they serve!
 


The physical size of a connector is directly related to its performance. Some suppliers claim to have the smallest, most compact connector systems available, but experience has shown that this level of miniaturization is often at the cost of performance. This trade-off often leaves the car manufacturers with no choice but to make concessions on their test criteria, a situation that is less than ideal. The MX80 series has been specifically developed to address this issue.

Every aspect of the MX80 design has been scrutinized and conventions challenged. The starting point were the terminals inside. The engineers considered many aspects such as spring geometry, current handling, mechanical locking, wire size range, crimp optimization, damage prevention, test probe access, installation & removal, wide operating temperature as well as sealing and vibration performance. Once this was defined, the next step was to consider the connector design, by putting JAE’s proven expertise in manufacturing high quality miniaturized connectors to good use. Detailed consideration was given to moulding design, material selection and assembly.
