The 1971153-1 is an Industrial Mini I/O bypass connector Type I designed as a compact, latching wire-to-board interface for industrial and high-vibration environments. It features a small form factor that saves up to 75 percent of space compared to conventional RJ45 plugs, with dual contact points providing reliable connections and a cable retention force of 98 N to prevent accidental disconnection. The connector operates across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, supports a 60 V rating with 0.5 A current capacity, and is constructed from copper alloy shells and contacts with thermoplastic housing. With 1500 cycle durability and polarized Type I design to prevent mismatching, this connector is ideal for industrial communications, motion and drives, PLCs, and robotics applications where space efficiency and connection reliability are critical.
