Weight Reduction: The 0.50 series connectors offer significant improvements in weight reduction compared to TE's 0.64 connector series.
The automotive industry continues to seek safer, smarter and greener connectivity solutions. Due to the increase of engine control units (ECUs) in the vehicle, the demand for smaller and lighter components is rising. TE's 0.50 automotive I/O connector series provides weight reduction through miniaturized electronic components, smaller wires and a reduced total connector package. It is used in various harsh automotive applications where higher temperatures and vibration loads require improved and innovative terminal and connector systems.
