Molex Incorporated introduces the industry's first high-density lensed MT ferrule-based interconnect, designed to reduce optical loss resulting from dust contamination. Traditional lensed or expanded beam interfaces have been available as single fibre interfaces with limited density. Meeting the same dimensional requirements as standard MT ferrule interfaces, the Molex lensed 12-fibre MT ferrule contains 12 parallel micro-lens interfaces, optimis...

Molex Incorporated has introduced the Mini-Fit H2O weatherproof, compact connection system designed for wire-to-wire applications of up to 9.0A per circuit. The Mini-Fit H2O connector system is IP67-rated, which ensures connector integrity when submersed in up to one metre of water. The product family consists of plug and receptacle assemblies and male and female crimp terminals. The plug and receptacle assemblies are equipped with pre-installed ...

Molex will be highlighting its new and innovative ranges of optical interconnects during this year’s ECOC exhibition in Vienna, Austria. Synonymous with optical fibre and telecommunications in Europe, the event unites academia and industry in discussion and displays the latest (and future) optical communications components, products, systems, and services. Hot topics of discussion will include new fibre-based components, modulation schemes ...

Molex Incorporated has restructured its website to allow engineers to easily find REACH data and a RoHS certificate of compliance for every part published on Molex.com. REACH deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances manufactured in or imported into the European Union. It is not specifically a product substance restriction requirement like RoHS, but rather a regulation that is designed to ensure...

Molex has produced its 20 millionth 3D antenna using LDS technology, since it started production last summer. Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) technology offers flexibility and geometric 3D design freedom in making antenna products over conventional flex-antenna technologies.
