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.
