Molex DuraClik Wire-to-Board Connectors

Molex DuraClik SMT Wire-to-Board Connectors with terminal retainer options provide superior electrical contact reliability, mating retention, and space savings compared to competitive versions for high-vibration and high-temperature applications. Molex DuraClik 2.00mm pitch connector series is available in 2 to 15 circuits with tin- and gold-plating options. The independent secondary lock (ISL) and terminal position assurance (TPA) variants feature operating temperatures up to +125°C, meeting high-level automotive passenger compartment requirements. The TPA version also offers Interia Lock, requiring a higher insertion force during the earlier part of mating in order to help confirm a secure connection.

Features

  • Inner positive-lock design
