Amphenol Communications Solutions Mini-PV Series Female Crimp Terminal, 3A, Gold Plating, 26 - 22 AWG, Crimp, 48234-002LF

Amphenol Communications Solutions 48234-002LF Mini-PV Series Female Crimp Terminal is designed for secure connections in PCB and discrete wire applications. This terminal features a robust dual-metal construction, supporting wire sizes from 26 AWG up to 22 AWG. Its crimp termination method enables reliable gas-tight connections, essential for electronics that require durability and performance.

The terminal body is made from brass, offering strength and long-term reliability, and the contact plating is gold which provides excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion in demanding environments. The beryllium copper internal spring delivers high retention force at the mating interface, ensuring stable connection even with repeated insertion cycles.

Rated to carry up to 3A of current, the Mini-PV terminal is appropriate for a broad spectrum of industrial, instrumentation, communications, automotive electronics, consumer, medical, and aerospace/avionics applications. It is especially effective in environments requiring frequent mating/unmating cycles, maintaining contact integrity through up to 1000 mating cycles.

Customizable spring pressures are available, allowing tailored insertion and withdrawal forces, so engineers can adapt the terminal to a variety of connector and wiring requirements. The product supports both discrete wire usage and insertion into Mini-Latch connector housings. A wide range of wire sizes and plating options further enhances application versatility.

With an operating temperature range from -40°C up to 105°C and maximum contact resistance at 2mΩ, this terminal delivers reliable electrical performance in harsh environments. Crimped terminals such as these are foundational in electronics manufacturing, assembly, and repair processes where secure, gas-tight electrical connections are essential.

Industrial uses include: instrumentation, communications equipment, automotive electronics, white goods, medical devices, consumer products, and military/avionics systems requiring high reliability connector solutions.
