MOLEX
Connectors and interconnect systems
About the manufacturer
Molex was founded in Illinois, United States, in 1938 as a plastics manufacturer. Over the following decades it developed electrical-connection technology and became an important supplier of connectors and interconnect systems to the electronics industry. The brand now covers signal, power and data-transmission solutions, cable assemblies and technologies for automotive and communications markets. Molex’s history reflects the transition from basic mechanical components to sophisticated, miniaturised electronic interfaces.
The main technical solutions associated with MOLEX include wire-to-board connectors, board-to-board connectors and signal and power connectors. Connectors provide detachable power, signal and data links in electronic equipment. Contact geometry, normal force, housing materials and assembly determine connection reliability. High-speed and harsh-environment applications require a compatible complete connector family.
