FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS Molex’s new Micro-Fit terminal, same reliability with half the mating/unmating force The Micro-Fit product line has been very successful over the years. To further build on this success, improvements have been made on the terminal side of this product. Based on feedback from the field, customers would want a much lower mating and unmating forces for applications using large circuit sizes. With this objective in mind, a new terminal was developed to reduce the mate and unmate forces significantly. 3.00mm (.118”) Pitch Micro-Fit 3.0 Low Force Terminal 46235 Low Force Terminal The 46235 Micro-Fit Low Force Terminal is developed in respond to this need. It lowers the mate/ unmate forces by up to 50% as compared to the standard 43030 series. The key to achieving this force reduction is the Dual Cantilever design of the contacts, as opposed to the box design of the 43030 terminals. To achieve this objective the contacts are gold plated. Gold plating produces lesser friction compared to Tin plating, thus complementing the objective of force reduction. Features Benefits Twin cantilever contact design Reduces mating and unmating forces by up to 50% as compared to standard 43030 series Wire gauge size from 20 to 30 AWG Wide range of acceptable wire sizes for application flexibility Lubricated versions available Lubrication further reduces the mating and unmating forces and increases protection against harsh environment SPECIFICATIONS Reference Information Packaging: Reel UL File No.: TBA CSA File No.: TBA Mates With: NA Use With: 43025, 43645, and 44133 receptacles Designed In: Millimeters Electrical Voltage (max.): 250V Current (max.): 5.0A max.
