There will be times when an engineers looks at their PCB, and thinks to themselves, we’re gonna need a bigger board. But we all know that won’t get approved. Instead, designers need smaller parts, like the TE Connectivity NanoMQS Miniature Connector System, which reduces PCB area by up to 50 percent compared to competing connectors. NanoMQS features a 1.8 millimeter pitch and can support up to 6 amps of current with 0.13 to 0.35 square millimeter wire sizes. They utilize primary and secondary locking capabilities, have a CPA option, and feature a Koshiri Connector design to provide anti-stubbing features. Being designed for use in automotive applications, these connectors can withstand strong vibration, shock, and operate in temperatures from minus 40 to 105 degrees Celsius. For their incredibly small size, the connectors pack a serious punch, being suitable for use in engine blocks, control systems, and sensors.
