Molex Mini50™ Unsealed Automotive Connectors
Molex's unsealed miniature Mini50™ is a single-row, wire-to-board connection system with smaller terminals to fit more low current electrical circuits in interior, unsealed, transportation-vehicle environments. The CTX50 mating
terminal wire grip design offers the ability to reduce wire gauge sizes
while maintaining retention strength. The design achieves a 50% space
savings compared to traditional USCAR standard 0.64mm unsealed connector
systems. Orientation features are molded into the header, vertical, or
right angle options provide wire-routing and module design flexibility.

Features
- Reduced package size is approximately 50% smaller than USCAR 0.64mm (.025") unsealed connection systems
- Orientation features are molded into the header and either vertical or right-angle orientations are possible, providing wire-routing and module design flexibility and retain the header to the PCB during the soldering process
- Board alignment and retention features simplify header PCB placement and retain header to PCB during soldering operation(s) and protect soldering joints during connector mating and unmating
- Female terminal wire grips for wire-size reduction and weight, space, and cost savings
- Three polarization options provide three discrete mechanical, visual and colored polarizations
- Independent secondary lock (ISL) terminal-retention feature is molded into the receptacle housing as one piece for applied cost savings
- CTX50 terminal wire grip design offers harness manufacturers' the ability to reduce wire gauge sizes while maintaining retention strength
