Mini-Fit Plus HCS™
(High-Current System)
4.20mm (.165”) Pitch
FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
The Mini-Fit Plus HCS™ crimp terminals, headers and receptacles deliver up to 13.0A with
extended durability for higher-current, mid-range power applications, without increasing
design footprints
45750 Female Crimp
Terminal
Mini-Fit Plus HCS male and female crimp terminals
are produced from a proprietary, high-current alloy,
providing enhanced high-performance current-
carrying capability. The Mini-Fit Plus HCS product
family consists of crimp terminals, headers and PCB
receptacles; 13.0A per circuit can be achieved using
16 AWG wire.
longer contact wipe over standard Mini-Fit terminals.
Mini-Fit Plus HCS terminals can be used with all
existing Mini-Fit® plug and receptacle housings. In
addition, all standard Mini-Fit right-angle headers
(Series 5569, 42404, 43810, 46991) are inherently
HCS compatible, as they feature a solid-pin
construction which is designed to handle high current.

Features and Benefits
Crimp terminals produced from a proprietary,
high-current alloy and is rated up to 13.0A
per circuit
Terminals feature a patented, elongated dimple
design which provides longer wipe lengths and
increased contact area over standard Mini-Fit
terminals
100 mating cycles with gold plating; 75 mating
cycles with tin plating achieved which is ideal for
applications requiring a high number of mating
cycles
Available in wire-to-wire, wire-to-board and
board-to-board configurations which can be used
in multiple applications
Mini-Fit Plus HCS male and female crimp terminals
are used with existing Mini-Fit receptacle and plug
housings and new crimp housings are not required
Crimp terminals are compatible with existing
Molex crimp tooling and no new tooling is
required
