For space-saving, highly stressed connections
The ERNI MiniBridge connectors have a miniaturized shape in 1.27-mm grid and can be used everywhere that space-saving connections between PCBs and decentralized functional units must be implemented. The single row cable mating system is available with straight and angled male terminal strips. All mating variants can be used in combination with female terminal strips having 90° and 180° cable outlet. The Koshiri variants of the connectors offer especially high mating reliability.
