Save space with shrinking USB connectors
The new series of mini-BTM USB connectors from Molex take up only about 1/8th of the space of standard USB-B connectors.
Power connectors meet SSI specifications
The new DPS/MPS power connectors from Molex meet the Server System Infrastructure (SSI) open specifications for backplanes.
Typical applications include air/water pressure sensors used in pick-and-place assembly machines, base press controls and other automation equipment.
The EZ-Conn system includes cost-effective insulation displacement (IDT) cable plugs and modular PCB receptacle connectors in circuit sizes from three to 32.
EZ-Conn derives its name from the simple two-step method of wire termination offered.
Field operators only need to insert the insulated wire, and then terminate using standard pliers.
This easy termination method provides cost savings and enables make-to-fit harness assemblies in the field.
EZ-Conn vertical through-hole PCB connectors are available in modular units of three or four circuits in single, four-row and eight-row styles.
The multirow versions provide high-density mounting and allow for different input/output points.
An SMT version is also available in four circuits.
This allows for right-angle mounting and includes side flanges for secure PCB retention.
The EZ-Conn IDT cable plugs come in two styles: a red plastic version for AWG 25-26 wire, and a white plastic version for AWG 27-28 wire.
Plugs include a user-friendly thumb-latch that provides easy insertion/extraction and secure mating retention.
The EZ-Conn system is rated at 32V and 1.5A maximum.
Connectors come in tray packaging and include lead-free plating.
