Video Transcript

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 1.8mm pitch and can support up to 6A of current with 0.13mm² to 0.35mm² 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 -40°C to +105°C. For their incredibly small size, the connectors pack a serious punch, being suitable for use in engine blocks, control systems, and sensors.
