Molex' MarKK crimp terminal uses a spring-box design for enhanced reliability across an extended temperature range.

Molex UK has released the MarKK terminal, designed to meet the demand for increased current carrying capability.

The MarKK crimp terminal uses a high-conductivity alloy to offer up to 13.5A per line based on a two-circuit system.

It can be applied to applications in large and small computers, home appliances and consumer electronics, HVAC and diagnostic equipment.

"Providing next level performance in the familiar KK terminal design, the proven 'building block' connector system allows customers to create customised configurations that precisely suit any application", said John Luthy, Global Product Manager, Molex.

Molex' MarKK crimp terminal uses a spring-box design for enhanced reliability across an extended temperature range.

Its head and tail-carried design eliminates the need for customers to monitor cutoff dimensions in application tooling, while four independent points of contact help assure a highly reliable interface.

MarKK terminals are available in both pre-plate and post-plate tin versions, as well as post-plate select gold.
