Features and Benefits
For applications exposed to harsh environments, electrical connections need protection from dust, moisture and corrosion while also meeting applicable safety and regulatory requirements. In extreme conditions, connectors require secure contact in applications where vibration, shock and repeated mating cycles are present. Additionally, designers need to accommodate different PCB layouts, assembly methods and product design specifications without compromising performance.
Environmental protection and safety-focused design options support harsh-environment and compliance-driven applications. Enhanced terminal retention technology, including ISL, improves mating security and long-term connection reliability, while TPA features help ensure proper connector assembly and electrical performance. Flexible connector configurations address design requirements for a wide variety of PCB layouts and manufacturing processes.
With potting capability and Glow Wire options, Micro-One Connectors help protect against dust, moisture and corrosion while supporting applications with enhanced safety requirements. These connectors feature ISL and optional TPA to help prevent terminal back-out, ensuring proper terminal insertion for improved reliability. Available in both surface-mount (SMT) and through-hole (TH) versions, Micro-One Connectors provide greater design flexibility and enable engineers to select the optimal mounting style for their application and manufacturing process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Micro-One Connectors?
Micro-One Connectors provide a compact 2.00mm-pitch, reliable wire-to-board solution that helps maintain a secure electrical connection and proper terminal insertion through its TPA. These connectors feature an ISL that helps prevent accidental terminal back-outs, and the robust design ensures high performance in applications that are subject to vibration and shock. These connectors are ideal for applications including automotive, industrial, appliances and data center systems.
What is potting, and what benefits does it provide?
Potting is a process using protective material as an extra protective layer against shock, vibration, moisture and corrosive agents. Potting boards help prevent liquid or corrosive agents from penetrating the PCB board.
Are Micro-One Connectors compliant with environmental and safety standards?
Micro-One Connectors provide a UL94 V-0 flammability rating that helps ensure strong fire safety performance. These connectors are designed to meet RoHS and other international environmental regulations for hazardous substance control. These connectors are also UL/CSA certified, providing recognized assurance of quality and safety across global applications.
How do Micro-One Connectors provide a solution for home appliance applications?
Micro-One Connectors are Glow Wire compliant and rated up to 105°C, ensuring safe, reliable performance in appliances such as ovens, washing machines and dryers where heat exposure is common. These connectors offer enhanced sealing and durability against moisture, dust and vibration for long-term stability in demanding household environments as they support potting processes.
Why should I choose Micro-One Connectors?
Micro-One Connectors offer mechanical reliability, safety compliance and environmental durability, all in a cost-effective design. This compact interconnect solution features ISL and TPA to ensure secure terminal retention and reliable electrical performance, while Glow Wire compliance supports appliance safety requirements. The connectors’ compatibility with potting processes provides additional protection against moisture and dust, making them well suited for demanding operating environments. By integrating key retention features directly into the design, Micro-One Connectors also reduce bill of material complexity, simplifying assembly and lowering overall system costs.
What is the ISL and why is it important?
The independent secondary lock (ISL) is a built-in terminal retention feature, and its primary role is to help prevent terminals from backing out of the housing, ensuring secure electrical contact and long-term connection reliability. Because the ISL is integrated directly into the receptacle housing, designers can achieve terminal retention functionality without requiring an additional component. This helps reduce bill of material costs, simplifies assembly processes and minimizes the risk of missing or incorrectly installed retention parts.
What are the advantages of the TPA retainer?
The terminal position assurance (TPA) retainer ensures that terminals are fully seated and correctly positioned within the connector housing before the assembly is completed. This reduces the risk of poor electrical contact, intermittent connections and potential field failures. This additional layer of protection enhances connection reliability and supports consistent performance in applications exposed to vibration, movement and other demanding operating conditions.
Are Micro-One Connectors suitable for automated assembly (pick-and-place)?
Yes, Micro-One Connectors are designed to support efficient manufacturing and are compatible with automated assembly processes, including pick-and-place operations. The compact design and reliable terminal retention features help improve assembly consistency while reducing the potential for handling errors.
Are Micro-One Connectors a good solution for home appliance applications?
Yes, Micro-One Connectors are ideal for home appliance applications where safety, reliability and durability are crucial requirements. These connectors meet Glow Wire standards, enabling manufacturers to comply with appliance safety regulations and reduce the risk of ignition in electrical systems. Micro-One products also support potting processes, providing enhanced protection against moisture, dust and vibration commonly found in household appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, dryers and ovens. With an operating temperature rating of up to 105°C, the connectors maintain reliable electrical performance and material stability in environments exposed to elevated temperatures, helping ensure long-term appliance reliability.
