Vibration resistant Autosport power connector
New to the Autosport industry is the vibration resistant Power Connector from Deutsch.
The company's AS Microlite range is well known for living up to its name and was specified for being able to withstand the pressures of F1 racing but also be light enough to save the team some vital grammes that can be used more efficiently elsewhere in the car.
Auto Sport product manager Paul Webb comments, "Of course we're very proud to supply Ferrari with our connectors.
We've worked hard to engineer our connectors precisely to suit Ferrari's specifications and are confident that more of our micro ranges will be raced on the cars next year." The design of the Microlite HE connector allows it to be fitted into even the smallest space envelope.
It is fully intermateable with the Micro HE range as well as being suitable for blind mating.
Other features include positive locking coupling mechanism and a conductive black zinc finish.
