To address the growing electronic device requirements within today's vehicles, Molex has developed a modular 0.64, 1.50 and 2.80mm terminal header system. The Stac64 connection system allows OEM and device manufacturers greater design flexibility to support both low-level signal requirements as well as power applications up to 30.0A. The Stac64 system allows automotive manufacturers to use header assemblies as stand-alone components, to gang multiple headers together to support a large range of signal and power needs for devices and modules.

The standard product line based on the 0.64mm pitch terminal includes: 8-, 12-, 16- and 20-circuit connectors in both vertical and right-angle headers supporting low-level signal requirements. In addition, 10- and 14-circuit power pocket versions, supporting power applications for 1.50 and 2.80mm pitch terminal systems, are available in vertical and right- angle configurations. This Stac64 is a standard product system based on USCAR-2 Class II mechanical and electrical performance characteristics for unsealed connector applications. The connectors mate to existing wire-harness connectors designed to the USCAR/EWCAP industry footprints.

The Stac64 standard product offering is tooled at high cavitation and is fully validated at the single-pocket level. This greatly reduces time-to-market by eliminating the need for additional tooling. Stac64 headers are stackable with Molex’s HS Stac headers featuring the high-speed USCAR-30 HSAutolink interface. Custom multi-bay connection systems, combining high-speed connectivity and the standard Stac64 I/O interface, can be easily created without special tooling.
