Application Scenarios
Designed specifically for automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs), its main applications include:
- Engine Control Units
- Body Control Modules
- Other automotive electrical systems: sensor connections, actuator connections, power distribution, etc.
- Suitable for automotive wiring harness systems requiring high current, high reliability, and high-pin connections.
- Also applicable in other industrial equipment requiring high-current connections.
MQS series connectors are commonly used in the automotive industry in environments such as engine compartments and instrument panels, emphasizing vibration resistance, high-temperature resistance, and long-term reliability.

Usage Features
- Main Applications: Automotive ECU (Engine Control Unit), vehicle control modules, sensor interfaces, power distribution, etc.
- Advantages: High current (9A/pin), robust and durable, easy to crimp and assemble, meets automotive environmental requirements.
- Common Connections: Used with a corresponding 35-pin female connector to form a complete wire-to-board or wire-to-wire connection.
Technical Documentation and Other Information
- Packaging: Typical automotive connector packaging (details available upon inquiry).
- Certifications: Housing meets UL94V-0 flame retardant standards; materials comply with automotive industry environmental requirements (RoHS, etc.).
- Customization: Supports customization services for different pin counts (8/14/23/35 pins), plating options, colors, etc.
- Supply: Accepts small and large volume orders with short lead times.
Notes:
- This is the male connector version, typically used with a corresponding female connector.
- The 4.0mm pitch + high current (9A) design makes it suitable for high-power ECU applications, but attention must be paid to alignment accuracy and welding/crimping processes during installation.
- Unlike the previously searched HSD, FAKRA, and DIN 41612 connectors, this product is more geared towards high-current power/signal hybrid automotive ECU connectors.
- If your project requires a waterproof version, higher pin count, different number of rows, or a complete automotive-grade verification report, please provide your specific requirements for manufacturer recommendations or customization.
