Molex Sets New Standard in Space-Saving Connections with Commercial Availability of Ground-Breaking Quad-Row Board-to-Board Connectors-World's smallest board-to-board connectors ideally suited for space-constrained smartphones, smartwatches, wearables, AR/VR devices and more -Staggered-circuit layout offers 30% space savings over conventional connector designs -Robust features deliver increased strength for more reliable performance -Over 50 million units shipped since 2020 to support major smartwatch manufacturer LISLE, Ill., June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Molex, a global electronics leader and connectivity innovator, today announced the commercial availability of the Molex Quad-Row Board-to-Board Connectors, featuring the industry's first staggered-circuit layout for 30% space savings over conventional connector designs. These patent-pending connectors offer product developers and device manufacturers greater freedom and flexibility to support compact form factors, including smartphones, smartwatches, wearables, game consoles and Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) devices. "Molex continually drives connectivity innovations in support of increasingly smaller yet more powerful devices," said Justin Kerr, vice president and general manager, Micro Solutions Business Unit, Molex. "With the high-density, Quad-Row Board-to-Board Connectors, our customers now can squeeze more features, sensors and functionality into increasingly tight spaces without compromising device performance. As a result, Molex is setting a new connectivity standard for space optimization." First-Ever Staggered Circuit Layout Delivers Unprecedented Space Savings The Quad-Row Board-to-Board Connectors adhere to the 3.0A current rating, meeting customer requirements for high power in a compact form factor. Additionally, the product aligns with the standard, soldering pitch of 0.35mm to expedite volume manufacturing using typical Surface Mount Technology (SMT) processes. Reliable, robust performance is assured, thanks to interior armor and insert-molded power nail, which safeguard pins from damage during volume manufacturing and assembly. These capabilities, along with wide alignment, facilitate easy, secure mating and lower fallout rates. High-Volume Production, Diverse Mix of Applications In addition, the compact size and reliable performance of the Quad-Row Board-to-Board Connectors make them ideally suited for a variety of applications requiring increasingly smaller PCBs and flex assembles. The ability to meet product miniaturization demands creates nearly limitless opportunities for AR/VR, automotive, communications, consumer, defense, IoT, medical and wearable applications.
