FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS Higher Retention Forces Drive Design of Removable PanelMount Power Receptacle The Mini-Fit, BMI Slide-and-Lock receptacle meets the needs of wireto-wire and wire-to-board power applications where blind-mating and increased panel retention are desired. The panel retention force is significantly greater than that of standard blind-mate interface (BMI) designs. The housing is constructed of a durable polyester to withstand the weight and forces of wires used in higher circuit counts. In addition, the polyester housing material requires no moisturization to prevent breakage. With its rugged thumb latch, the Mini-Fit, BMI Slide-and-Lock receptacle is easily mounted to and removed from a standard panel opening. The receptacle mates with a range of Mini-Fit™ plugs and headers and uses standard Mini-Fit series female crimp terminals and application tooling. No hardware or special tools are needed to mount the connector to the panel. Features and Benefits Innovative panel-mount design provides easy insertion or removal from panel as well as significantly increases panel retention force over standard ear-type panel-mount housings s Panel retention force of up to 881N (198lbf), depending on circuit size s Connectors float in panel cutout up to 1.27mm (.050") in X-Y direction to self-align with the mating flange of Mini-Fit, BMI plugs or Mini-Fit, BMI, Mini-Fit, SMC™ and Mini-Fit, CPI™ headers s Fully isolated terminals to protect contacts from damage s Fully polarized to plug or header to prevent mismating s Durable housing requires no moisturization to prevent breakage s 4.20mm (.165”) Pitch Mini-Fit, BMI™ Slide-and-Lock Receptacle 44516 Dual Row, Panel Mount Specifications Reference Information Packaging: Bag UL File No.: E29179 CSA File No.: LR19980 Designed In: Millimeters Used With: Terminals 5556, 44476, 44485 Mates With: 5559, 5566, 5569, 42404, 42440, 42475, 43770, 43759, 43810, 43879, 44068, 44472, 44474 Electrical Voltage: 600V Current: Rating depends on contact material, wire gauge and circuit size; ranges from 1.0 to 11.0A Dielectric Strength: 1500V AC for one minute; no breakdown Insulation Resistance: 1000 MΩ min.
