While the products were developed to meet the growing power requirements of motors, solenoid-operated valves, actuation equipment and 24V DC auxiliary power systems in automation control systems, they are also well suited for LED lighting and commercial vehicle...

Molex LLC announced today that one of its subsidiaries has entered into a binding agreement to acquire Phillips-Medisize Corporation. A global leader in outsource design, development and manufacturing services for the medical industry, Phillips-Medisize is a portfolio company of Golden Gate Capital, a private equity investment firm based in San Francisco, CA with approximately $15 billion of capital under management. The agreement is subject...

Epilepsy, a neurological condition that causes repeated seizures also known as fits, can occur in people anywhere and at any time without warning. Neurone cells use electrical impulses to communicate with each other and during a fit, the electrical impulses in the brain are disrupted. 

Updating its modular mezzanine interconnect to deliver faster data rates and improved performance, Molex has announced that the NeoScale High-Speed Mezzanine System offers clean signal integrity at data rates of 56Gb/s NRZ. The modular mezzanine interconnect is suited for high-density PCB applications with limited real estate including enterprise networking towers, telecomms hubs and servers, industrial controllers and medical & aerospace/def...

Molex has announced that six partners have joined the new Transcend Alliance, a consortium of companies working together to expand and promote the use of network connected lighting in commercial buildings by developing and implementing new systems and protocols. New integrated lighting network solutions, such as the Transcend connected lighting system from Molex, are rapidly becoming an integral part of commercial building design. Companies like ...

  Molex has introduced the Micro-Fit TPA single row receptacle, which offers a TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) integrally moulded with the housing. The integrated TPA feature ensures terminal seating.

Molex has introduced a Temp-Flex foam-core ultra-low-loss coaxial microwave cable, which combines space savings with an effective dielectric that eliminates “phase knee” and provides ease of termination. It also achieves 80% Velocity Of Propagation (VOP) loss characteristics, which produces more reliable signal performance and lower loss characteristics than air-enhanced PTFE cable.

Molex has introduced a 2X2 PoE 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Multi-Port Magnetic Modular Jack, or Integrated Connector Module (ICM), joining the previously released 2X4 configuration. Currently, no other magnetic modular jack delivers 2.5GbE and 30W over 2-pair PoE in a single configuration.

Molex has developed a Polymicro Technologies optical test bench to measure and validate optical fibres used in astronomy applications. The optical fibre measurement system measures Focal Ratio Degradation (FRD) in specific optical fibre samples to determine whether the fibres are appropriate for astronomy applications.

Molex has introduced Temp-Flex Multicore Cable, a customisable, multi-conductor hybrid cable which uses Temp-Flex and Molex core competencies to combine fine wire, coax, twinax, triax, twisted pair, tubing and strength members in a single high-flex cable solution.
