TE MCON 1.2mm Series 48V ready Connector, Custom Wire Harness Assembly

MCON 1.2mm Series 48V Ready Connector

 

The ​MCON 1.2mm Series offers ultra-robust connectivity for automotive exterior applications, supporting ​48V systems (e.g., electric compressors, braking systems) with a ​17A current rating (80°C ambient). Designed for harsh environments, it operates in ​​-40°C to +180°C and withstands ​SG6 vibration (IPx9K waterproof). Features include ​BluSurf plating (40% lower mating force), ​dual-contact redundancy, and modular housings (1-24 positions). Compliant with LV214/USCAR2 standards, it integrates sustainability with reduced CO₂ materials. Ideal for engine bays, wheel sensors, and chassis control. Available in Locking Lance, Clean Body, and HPF 1.2 variants for high-vibration, compact, and extreme-temperature applications.

Applications

 

1. 48V Systems

 

The MCON 1.2mm Series is engineered for advanced ​48V architectures, critical for modern electrified vehicles. It powers high-demand components like ​electric AC compressors, enabling efficient cabin climate control without engine load. In ​start/stop systems, the connectors ensure seamless energy transfer during frequent ignition cycles, reducing emissions. For ​electronic power steering (EPS) and ​braking systems, they deliver stable 48V power for precise torque control and regenerative braking. They also support ​catalytic converter controls by managing sensors and actuators in exhaust aftertreatment systems. With 17A current capacity and vibration resistance, MCON connectors enhance reliability in hybrid and mild-hybrid vehicles, balancing performance and fuel efficiency.

 

2. Low-Voltage Systems

 

In ​low-voltage applications (12–24V), the MCON 1.2mm Series excels in compact, high-vibration environments. For ​lighting systems, its IPx9K sealing protects LED headlamps and taillights from moisture and road debris. The connectors ensure uninterrupted power to ​window/roof motors, even in extreme temperature swings (-40°C to +150°C). In ​suspension control, they transmit real-time data from wheel speed sensors to stability systems, improving ride safety. The ​dual-contact terminal design mitigates signal loss in infotainment or ADAS wiring. Optimized for automated assembly, Clean Body variants reduce manufacturing complexity in high-volume production of interior electronics and dashboard modules.

 

3. Harsh Environments

 

MCON 1.2mm connectors thrive in ​extreme conditions, such as engine bays and exhaust systems. Their ​HPF 1.2 variant withstands ​+180°C temperatures near turbochargers or catalytic converters, using GreenSilver™ plating to resist oxidation. In ​chassis-mounted components, the SG6-rated vibration resistance ensures durability for wheel speed sensors and active suspension controls. The ​IPx9K-rated housings protect against high-pressure washdowns in agricultural or off-road vehicles. For ​exhaust systems, the connectors manage EGR valves and NOx sensors, maintaining signal integrity despite thermal cycling. Robust locking mechanisms prevent disconnection in heavy-duty applications, making them ideal for commercial vehicles, EVs, and industrial machinery exposed to dust, heat, and mechanical stress.
