Aptiv Flexible Beam Technology (FBT) connectors simplify vehicle connection systems by using a single piece of plastic to ensure terminal position assurance. These devices also enhance terminal retention and improve assembly reliability. The FBT connectors include both sealed and unsealed female connectors, with configurations such as 1.5mm, 2.3mm, and 2.8mm blade sizes. These devices meet ISO and USCAR standards and feature low-engage forces for better reliability. Applications include general vehicle power and signal systems, including those that require robust performance in tight spaces.
