TE Connectivity Blind Mating Mobile Charging Connectors

TE Connectivity's (TE) Blind Mating Mobile Charging Connectors are intended for smaller mobile robots and autonomous vehicles typically used in warehouse environments. Autonomous mobile robots (AMR) are used mostly for material handling (picking, movement, storage, and sorting) in the warehouse automation space. TE's Blind Mating Mobile Charging Connectors are available in 2- and 3-power contact options with up to eight signal contacts to ease installation and rework cycle times. The series offers a high mating cycle life and serves as a modular solution that will support different configurations, data, and sensing.
