The Quixon quick-disconnect terminals from Molex feature a self-aligning mechanism for simple and secure connections in marine instrumentation applications, such as fuel gauges, depth gauges, speedometers and tachometers and switches for ignition, blowers and depth finders.
The terminals expand the company's existing offering of Avikrimp, InsulKrimp and Krimptite quick-disconnect terminals. Because the terminals feature a flexing beam and standard dimple, they allow for a low insertion force to mate with male tabs to 6.35x0.81mm while maintaining a high retention level for maximum security, says the company. Quixon connectors also include a side-relief cut, which allows for a slight angle during mating to simplify blind mating, and a flared-barrel entry for easy wire insertion.
The terminals are available in loose pieces or on a continuous plastic strip with Mylar tape for semi- or fully-automatic termination. The terminals meet UL requirements when used with the company's recommended tooling.
