TE Connectivity Industrial Mini I/O Connector System

The TE Connectivity Industrial Mini I/O connector system is a compact, wire to wire and wire-to-board solution for reliably serial, bus and Ethernet connections in industrial applications.

With only 25% of the size of a conventional RJ45, TE’s Industrial Mini I/O solution allows you to save on valuable boards space. Combined with reduced height, it allows for building very compact DIN rail system modules.

TE’s Industrial Mini I/O solution has been designed for the stringent demands of industrial environments.

High retention of the board connectors, combined with a compact metal latching mechanism prevents accidental pull and/or unmating, reducing potential system down time. Stable connections are guaranteed and unnecessary consequential communication losses are prevented by a contact system with double point of contact, designed to deal with the shock and vibrations common to industrial environments.

The upgraded generation of SMT PCB Mini I/O portfolio meet the latest requirements of the industrial assembly processes. With an improved co-planarity of 0.08mm, the amount of solder paste can be reduced. Together with the use of LCP materials in the connector, it allows for higher reflow solder temperatures, increasing processing efficiency and extending durability over lifetime.

EMI and Signal Integrity are optimized by the signal path design and the 360 degrees shielding brings in next generations to CAT6A performance.

Features
