Molex Mini-Fit Plus HCS 4.2mm Pitch Connectors
Molex Mini-Fit Plus HCS (High-Current System) 4.2mm Connectors deliver up to 13A using with extended durability for higher-current, mid-range power applications without increasing design footprints. The Mini-Fit Plus HCS product family consists of crimp terminals, headers, and PCB receptacles. Capable of up to 100 mating cycles in higher current environments, Molex Mini-Fit Plus HCS Connectors are well-suited for desktop, power supply, telecommunications, industrial, medical, marine, and Military Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS), and mid-range power applications. The connectors are available in wire-to-wire, wire-to-board and board-to-board configurations, and now as Dual Row Vertical Headers.
