  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. A multifunction design combined with high-performance construction allows Temp-Flex Multicore Cable to meet data, signal and power requirements in harsh environments and under critical ...

Suitable for high power applications, including servo motors, Brad M40 sized overmoulded cordsets have been introduced by Molex. This augments the company's circular connector overmoulded cordset portfolio, which stretches from M5 to M40 sizes, and extends Molex’s M40 offering, which includes field-attachable connectors and panel-mounted receptacles.

Molex and Cisco have announced their participation in a multi-supplier agreement (MSA) to create high-speed, double-density quad small form factor pluggable (QSFP-DD), a new high-speed interface. Thirteen industry leaders have joined the MSA to collaborate in developing this new high-speed interface.

Molex has introduced its SST PB3-CPX Modules to connect Rockwell Automation CompactLogix L2, L3 and L4 controllers to PROFIBUS DP-V0 and DP-V1 Networks. The modules enable high-performance, low-cost solutions for industrial automation applications and are compatible with Master DP-V0 Class-1, Master DP-V1 Class-1 and -2 and Slave DP-V0 protocols.

Molex, LLC introduces Brad M23 power and signal cordsets with a short overmould length of just 45mm for quick and easy assembly in space restricted applications. With WSOR (weld-slag and oil-resistant) cable fitted as standard, coupled with the space saving form factor, it helps ensure reliable performance in harsh industrial environments, including welding applications, metalworking and machining processes using cutting oil.

Molex, LLC has introduced its Mini-MRP (Modular Rack Principle) System, which improves reliability and reduces failure rates for modular rack systems in aerospace applications and other harsh-environment industries. Unique angled rear insulators eliminate the ingress of dew and water, significantly reducing short circuits, while also simplifying access and delivering the smallest possible PCB footprint.

Augmenting its magnetic jack product offering, Molex has announced the introduction of the MXMag Gigabit Single-Port RJ45 connector. With options suitable for automated reflow-solder assembly, the integrated magnetic jack provides OEMs with a high-speed assembly solution without compromising the robust and reliable through-hole PCB connection.

Expanding its line of interface solutions, Molex has introduced the SST DN4 DeviceNet PCIe NICs (Network Interface Cards). Utilising a single-source manufacturing process for hardware and software, the devices deliver outstanding reliability and performance. Applications for PCIe NICs include automotive and semiconductor automation devices and material handling equipment.

Molex announced the acquisition of Interconnect Systems, which specialises in the design and manufacture of high density silicon packaging with advanced interconnect technologies.

Molex has joined the EnOcean Alliance and will integrate the EnOcean energy harvesting technology into its Transcend Network Connected Lighting system. The EnOcean Alliance is sponsored by EnOcean, inventor of the patented energy harvest wireless technology for use in building automation, smart home applications and the IoT.

Molex introduces the Brad HarshIO Ethernet modules to provide a reliable solution for connecting industrial safety controllers to sensors and actuators in harsh duty environments. Machine mountable in an IP67 rated housing, Brad HarshIO modules are suited for industrial applications where liquids, dust or vibration may be present, and have been tested to withstand shock, high-vibration and high temperatures.

Molex, LLC confirms its participation in the Cisco Digital Ceiling partner community, which debuted at Cisco Live! Berlin. Molex, developer of the Transcend Network Connected LED Lighting System, announced a solutions technology collaboration with Cisco in November 2015. As a member of the Digital Ceiling partner community, Molex is involved in helping customers embrace digital transformation of their buildings by creating a Digital Ceiling.
