Greater Safety and Flexibility on the PCB

A variety of new accessories join the MCS MINI PCB Connectors with levers.

The MCS MINI pluggable connection system with levers is ideal for tool-free field connection of I/O connectors to devices. The compact female connector for cross-sections from 0.14 to 1.5 mm² now offers new accessories that are also suitable for field assembly. Strain relief plates and two locking options provide additional safety and flexibility #end-# depending on the available installation space, they can be mounted on the side or center of the female connector. Coding keys and a 2-way jumper complete the product range.

Your Benefits:

  • Double-row version of the MCS MINI Connector with 16 poles for greater power and more coding options guarantees reliable wiring.

  •  Locking mechanism, strain relief, and coding guarantee reliable wiring.

  • Jumpers provide greater wiring convenience.

Extra Safety

Locking systems prevent accidental disconnection of female connectors and male headers. That is helpful where cables face significant tension due to influences like shock, vibration or impact, and also for installation with movable cables. The locking systems for the MCS MINI Connector are available either centered on the connector or in a side variant, so you can always pick the right locking mechanism for the specific application.

The strain relief plate for the MCS MINI protects the connection point by isolating it from strong cable tension. It also keeps individual conductors from being pulled out. The strain relief plate not only provides more safety, but also simplifies handling, since it is more convenient to handle the plug with the individual conductors through the plate.

Coding fingers for the MCS MINI guarantee 100% protection against mismating. They can be used when multiple connectors with the same polarity are positioned next to each other, for example. Thanks to the coding, a specific female connector only fits on one male header, preventing mismating.

Convenient Wiring with Jumpers

Jumpers guarantee more convenient wiring. They make it easy to bridge cables, such as for wiring safety circuits in control systems. These cables are especially easy to wire using pluggable PCB connectors with levers such as the MCS MINI. The installer can raise several levers simultaneously without tools, remove the jumpers, then route the cables to the corresponding connection point and lower the lever.

All the accessory solutions are available pre-assembled with the MCS MINI or can also be ordered separately as needed and assembled in the field without tools.
