The 1mm pitch Pico-Clasp wire-to-board connector system is compact, and its small circuit size makes it suitable for any compact FPD system.

Molex has introduced the Pico-Clasp single and dual row wire-board connectors.

As the smallest pitch connector for positive lock wire-to-board crimp systems available, the Pico-Clasp family offers space saving solutions in applications such as plasma display panel (PDP) TVs, liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs, Notebook PCs and other compact devices.

The 1mm pitch wire-to-board connector system is compact, and its small circuit size makes it suitable for any compact FPD system.

Versions with an inner positive lock provide latch protection and secure mating confirmation and reliability comparable to most traditional outer-lock styles.

Positive lock versions are available in 6 to 50 circuits.

"As demand for more compact devices is increasing, much of the newest micro-technology relies on the smallest space saving tools to create the flat-screened electronics consumers want," said Goji Tanabe, Product Manager at Molex.

Versions with outer positive locks are available in three to five circuits and provide strong mating retention along with a clearly audible click when all connectors are in place.

Low mating and unmating forces allow for easy connector insertion and extraction.

The system is offered in both single and dual-row versions and friction and positive locking options are available.
