In our 30-minute webinar we present you the automotive miniaturization portfolio for sealed and unsealed applications. The focus will be on the NanoMQS and MCON 0.50 Portfolio which are miniaturized connector systems specially developed to save space and weight, while maintaining the robustness requirements from automotive OEMs. Choose a date and get a dive into our NanoMQS portfolio.
NanoMQS Connectors. The NanoMQS Top Latch (TL) and Side Latch (SL) series offer a high degree of automotive robustness and are LV214 compliant. With numerous possibilities for mechanical integration and manufacturability, they are available in 2 to 32 position connectors, supporting a wide range of applications. Smooth insertion and extraction confirm that their miniaturized form does not mean any loss of convenience.
NanoMQS Featured Connector Systems
NanoMQS Contacts
A miniaturized terminal suitable for a contact blade dimension of 0.5 x 0.4mm, the NanoMQS contact extends the family of proven MQS contacts enabling a significant space and weight savings with a spatial volume reduction of up to 50%.
