Micro-Fit Connector Mechanical Constraints
Description
Mechanical Limit
Notes
Connector Mate and
Unmate Forces
MINIMUM withdrawal force: 3.7N
(0.8lbf)
This is the least amount of force needed to unplug
the cable from the 8-pin Micro-Fit connector.
MAXIMUM insertion force: 8.0N
(1.8lbf)
This is the maximum amount of force that should
be used when inserting a male connector into the
8-pin Micro-Fit connector. Using force greater than
this might damage the Micro-Fit connector.
Terminal Retention
Force (in housing)
MINIMUM retention force: 24.5N
(5.5lbf)
This is the least amount of force needed to keep
the power supply cable connected to the 8-pin
Micro-Fit connector.
Terminal Insertion
Force (into housing)
MAXIMUM insertion force: 14.7N
(3.3lbf)
This is the maximum amount of force that should
be used when pushing in the power supply cable
into the 8-pin Micro-Fit connector. Using force
greater than this might damage the Micro-Fit
connector.
