The MP series goes beyond traditional connectors by allowing customers to easily configure, design and build their own connector with an unmatched degree of flexibility.

The new series features a broad range of standard modules for power, signal, data, fibre optic and fluidic connectivity that can be combined into one single hybrid connector.

The REDEL MP Series also introduces high contact density modules, an innovation that allows up to 144 contacts in a compact connector by using the Card Edge concept. These PCB modules can be further customised with the integration of intelligence, such as an EEPROM.

The flexible and interchangeable design allows for the easy transition to a different configuration for future product generations, without having to change the connector footprint. Additionally, full cable assembly options are also available.
