Automotive-Grade Mini Signal Connector System

TE Connectivity’s PicoMQS automotive connector system is a miniaturized innovative solution that combines both the automotive-grade robustness and reliability needed when deployed in harsh high-vibration, high-temperature automotive applications together with the reduction of component footprint (55% reduction in crimp length) and packaging weight (78% reduction), making it one of the smallest automotive-qualified crimped terminal, connector, and header systems on the market.

Benefits

• Automotive-grade robustness with Class 2 vibration stability and maximum temperature of +130°C (Sn)/+150°C (Ag), 0.22 wire, and continuous current capability up to 4 A at +80°C
• Best-in-class miniaturization/space-reduction for space-constrained signal interfaces with up to 78% reduced packaging weight compared to MQS, 1.27 mm pin pitch (30% reduction), and 55% reduction in crimp length with complete LV214 qualification
• Small LV214 qualified crimped connection with anti-scooping features, secondary locking system, and Kojiri connector design
• Manufacturing ease, quality, and cost efficiency with automated pin insertion and S-bending solder pin design for camera control for header board position with a reduced pin length by 4 mm (42% shorter length)
