Aptiv NanoPack™ CTS 0.5mm Automotive Connectors

Aptiv NanoPack™ CTS 0.5mm Automotive Connectors are 0.5mm sealed and unsealed automotive connectors with CTS terminals. These Aptiv miniaturized automotive connectors meet VDA and USCAR standards while providing volume and weight savings. The NanoPack CTS unsealed versions are ideal for interior and dashboard applications, while the sealed options are ideal for cameras and tire pressure sensors exposed to humidity and liquid splashes.
