FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
Higher Retention Forces Drive Design of Removable PanelMount Power Receptacle
The Mini-Fit, BMI Slide-and-Lock receptacle meets the needs of wireto-wire and wire-to-board power applications where blind-mating
and increased panel retention are desired. The panel retention force
is significantly greater than that of standard blind-mate interface
(BMI) designs. The housing is constructed of a durable polyester to
withstand the weight and forces of wires used in higher circuit counts.
In addition, the polyester housing material requires no moisturization
to prevent breakage.
With its rugged thumb latch, the Mini-Fit, BMI Slide-and-Lock
receptacle is easily mounted to and removed from a standard panel
opening. The receptacle mates with a range of Mini-Fit™ plugs and
headers and uses standard Mini-Fit series female crimp terminals and
application tooling. No hardware or special tools are needed to
mount the connector to the panel.
Features and Benefits
Innovative panel-mount design provides easy insertion or
removal from panel as well as significantly increases panel
retention force over standard ear-type panel-mount housings
■ Panel retention force of up to 881N (198lbf), depending on circuit
size
■ Connectors float in panel cutout up to 1.27mm (.050") in X-Y
direction to self-align with the mating flange of Mini-Fit, BMI
plugs or Mini-Fit, BMI, Mini-Fit, SMC™ and Mini-Fit, CPI™
headers
■ Fully isolated terminals to protect contacts from damage
■ Fully polarized to plug or header to prevent mismating
■ Durable housing requires no moisturization to prevent breakage
