Mini-Fit High-Current System (HCS) Connectors

Molex's Mini-Fit HCS offers a high-current, power-dense, mid-range power connection system. The Mini-Fit Plus system leverages the same housings, PCB footprint, and application tooling as the Mini-Fit Jr. and Mini-Fit BMI systems.

With the launch of the Mini-Fit Plus high-conductive terminal, customers can increase power-carrying capabilities while leveraging the extensive Mini-Fit Jr. product portfolio.

The Mini-Fit HCS consists of crimp terminals, headers, and PCB receptacles; 13.0 A per circuit can be achieved using 16 AWG wire. Mini-Fit HCS terminals can be used with all existing Mini-Fit plug and receptacle housings. In addition, all standard Mini-Fit right-angle headers are inherently Mini-Fit Plus compatible, as they feature a solid-pin construction that is designed to handle high currents.
