Brad Mini-Change Connectors

Brad Mini-Change Connectors

Delivering optimum conductivity, Brad Mini-Change Connectors from Molex offer the broadest selection of miniature connectors in the industrial market

Brad Mini-Change Connectors are the standard by which all miniature connectors are measured. First introduced in 1968, the Mini-Change connector pioneered the market for rugged, sealed connectors in industrial applications. These connectors provided the first quick-connect alternative to hard-wiring.

Mini-Change connectors are available in a wide variety of circuits and configurations, with pole configurations available in 2 through 12, 14 and 19.

With Mini-Change connectors, industrial device wiring is easier to install and maintain. To ensure a consistent, low-resistance connection, the patented Quad Beamā„¢ female contact is used. Connectors are sealed to provide IP67 protection. An anti-vibration feature prevents the coupler from loosening, even under extreme conditions.
