MU18-10FLX-BOTTLE

3M's MU18-10FLX-BOTTLE represents the next generation of Terminals - Spade Connectors technology, developed for 5G infrastructure applications. This innovative connector delivers unmatched RF performance while maintaining mechanical reliability in temperature-cycled environments. Its precision engineering addresses the growing demands of high-speed data transmission systems.The Spring, Snap architecture in this connector enables rapid deployment in field installations. Unlike conventional designs, this configuration maintains contact integrity through 500+ mating cycles.Engineered with 10 Stud compatibility, this terminal supports both legacy and emerging equipment standards. The anti-rotation feature prevents loosening under dynamic loads.Precision-machined to 0.320" (8.13mm) tolerance, the connector ensures consistent impedance characteristics. This dimensional control is critical for maintaining signal integrity in high-frequency applications.The 0.680" (17.27mm) design incorporates advanced strain relief geometry that reduces conductor fatigue by 60%. This feature is particularly valuable in mobile equipment applications.Optimized for Free Hanging (In-Line) configurations, this terminal simplifies cable management in rack-mounted systems. The orientation-specific design prevents incorrect installations.Utilizing Crimp technology, this connector achieves cold weld-quality joints without thermal stress. The process is compatible with automated assembly systems for high-volume production.Designed to accommodate 18-22 AWG wiring, this terminal provides exceptional current-carrying capacity. The dual-spring contact design maintains pressure across thermal expansion cycles.The Non-Insulated system exceeds IPC-620 class 3 requirements for wire harness applications. Material selection focuses on halogen-free formulations for environmental compliance.Tin plating technology provides exceptional wear resistance with friction coefficients below 0.3. This treatment is ideal for frequently disconnected applications.The Copper, ETP formulation in this connector offers the perfect balance between conductivity and mechanical strength. Advanced metallurgy ensures stable contact resistance over the product lifecycle.
