Choosing the Right Electrical Power Connector

There is a vast array of electrical power connectors available and choosing the right one for your project will impact design restraints, manufacturability and maintenance. Some of the elements to consider when selecting the most appropriate power connector include: • Current rating (current density) and operating voltage • Connector size (circuit density) and pitch • Engagement force and locking • Polarisation • Mounting configuration • Materials & Construction – Contact and housing type • Durability (cycles) Leotronics stocks a range of 3.0mm (Molex Microfit) power connectors and 4.2mm (Molex Mini-fit junior) power connectors in 2-24 circuit options with a range of configurations available.
