[ClickPress, Mon Feb 04 2008] Mouser Electronics, Inc., known for its rapid introduction of the newest products, today announced it is now stocking FCI’s Minitek™ CTW Active Latch, the first such connector that is completely compatible with other existing elements in the modular system. FCI is a leading supplier of connectors and interconnect systems.

The lowest profile active latch housing on the market, the Minitek Active Latch was designed for use in harsh and high-vibration environments and is ideal for industrial and automotive applications. The 2mm device is housing for crimp-to-wire systems, enabling discrete wiring to be attached and unattached to PCB boards with an audible click and held into place by the latch. The device is part of FCI’s Basic+® program, which delivers outstanding service on popular standard connectors.

“Both the design engineering community and our suppliers rely on Mouser to supply the newest products available to the marketplace,” according to Barry McConnell, Mouser Vice President of Product Marketing. “By stocking new products like these from FCI, Mouser is able to fulfill its commitment to both suppliers and design engineers alike.”
