Features and Benefits
With the rapid growth of electronic miniaturization, consumers increasingly demand more power in smaller components. Leveraging an 8.0A current rating in a compact design, Nano-Fit Connectors are a top choice for space savings in electronic designs. These products feature multiple colored and mechanically keyed options, ultra-low mating force terminals and blind-mating interface (BMI) that help prevent costly connector mating mishaps. As a result, Nano-Fit products simplify the assembly process to accelerate production and enhance overall efficiency.
Additional design features such as terminal position assurance (TPA) and connector position assurance (CPA), enhance the accuracy of the assembly process through secure mating. To ensure reliable electrical performance, Nano-Fit Connectors are engineered to provide versatile solutions that effectively address and help prevent common mating issues, while supporting high current in a small package. This combined functionality makes these connectors a preferred solution for engineers and designers seeking efficient, high-performance connectivity in miniature power applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Nano-Fit Connectors?
Nano‑Fit Connectors are a compact, high‑power wire‑to‑board and wire‑to‑wire connector system with a 2.50mm pitch that delivers up to 8.0A per circuit. These connectors are designed for applications that require high power density, PCB space savings and reliable assembly.
How are Nano-Fit Connectors different from similar alternatives?
Nano‑Fit Connectors deliver higher current in a smaller footprint than typical 2.50mm connectors and provide fully isolated terminals, mechanical keying, and optional assurance features that reduce mis‑mating and assembly errors.
What wire gauges are supported by Nano-Fit Connectors?
Nano‑Fit Connectors support 26 to 20 AWG wires, providing design flexibility for power and signal applications across multiple industries.
How do Nano‑Fit Connectors save PCB space?
With a compact design and small pitch, Nano‑Fit Connectors enable more PCB footprint reduction compared to larger, fully isolated power connectors, helping designers minimize board space or add more features.
How do Nano‑Fit Connectors help prevent mis‑mating?
Nano‑Fit Connectors include mechanical keying options, color‑coded housings and a blind‑mating interface. These features help ensure correct mating, even in high‑density or hard‑to‑see installations.
What certifications and compliance standards do Nano‑Fit Connectors meet?
Nano‑Fit Connectors are designed to meet global safety, environmental and reliability standards. These connectors are UL and RoHS compliant as well as Glow Wire capable, supporting use in regulated environments with elevated temperatures and rigorous safety requirements. Select Nano‑Fit versions also comply with USCAR2 shock and vibration standards when properly applied, making them suitable for non‑safety automotive electronics.
When should Nano‑Fit Connectors be selected instead of Micro‑Fit or Mini‑Fit Connectors?
Choose Nano‑Fit Connectors when designs require high current density (up to 8.0A) in a compact footprint. Nano-Fit Connectors deliver reliable power in space‑constrained applications such as compact data center racks, automotive lighting subassemblies or robotics. For higher power needs where space is less crucial, Micro‑Fit or Mini‑Fit Connectors may be more suitable.
In which environments can Nano‑Fit Connectors operate?
Nano‑Fit Connectors support environments with operating temperatures up to +125°C (depending on version) and are Glow Wire capable, making them suitable for automotive, appliance, industrial, data infrastructure and power applications.
Are Nano‑Fit Connectors suitable for high‑volume manufacturing?
Yes, Nano‑Fit Connectors support high-volume production. Quality features, including ultra‑low mating force, positive‑lock housing with audible click, surface mount‑compatible headers and automation support, reduce assembly time and design rework.
