Molex adds patented locking mechanism to cable assemblies
Connectivity specialist, Molex and high frequency, high speed transmission connector manufacturer, I-PEX both offer the I-PEX MHF 4L LK and MHF I LK cable assemblies, which are available in multiple configurations using standard MHF receptacles and Molex RF connector interfaces for secure connectivity in rugged RF applications which are subjected to continuous shock and vibration.
The MHF I series of micro-RF coaxial connector systems takes advantage of I-PEX’s patented locking mechanism which keeps signals connected through constant shock and vibration, said Molex. Inspired by operation with drones, the locking system is suitable to address rigorous connectivity demands across the automotive, consumer electronics, data centre, medical, smart appliance and telecommunications industries.
To simplify and streamline implementation, the I-PEX cable assemblies offer standard, off-the-shelf availability to speed time to market and eliminate tooling and a standard MHF receptacle that enables locking cable assemblies to mate with standard MHF receptacles.
Molex offers standard assemblies on 1.13, 1.32 and 1.37mm cable-type options.
Molex offers a full range of connectivity products, services and solutions for markets that include data communications, medical, industrial, automotive and consumer electronics. The company has a presence in over 40 countries.
