Molex Corporation announces a comprehensive SL TM (superimposable single row) modular connector system that provides a reel package with a pick and place vacuum cap. This updated system can use automated termination steps to facilitate high-speed processing and precise placement of printed circuit boards (PCBs). The SL Series connectors offer a modular approach for low power and signal line-to-board and wire-to-wire applications for a variety of industries including consumer electronics, medical, automotive and home appliances.

Niki Taylor, product manager at Molex, said: "As electronic technology becomes more prevalent in everything from consumer products to automotive systems, contract manufacturers have been faced with the challenge of producing more products at lower cost. Molex not only With the industry's broadest range of modular connector models and cable configurations, our new reel package can be used in high volume production equipment to reduce labor requirements and reduce costs."

The SL modular connector system includes an established latch mating interface that ensures safe retention of the socket in high vibration environments, as well as terminal position assurance (TPA) that increases terminal pull-out force and reduces the risk of terminal tripping. Latch. The connector family offers maximum flexibility through a number of unique features, including low side stackable housing designs, vertical and right angle connectors, select wire connection options with discrete wire crimps, FFC and IDT terminations, and Connectors with different termination types that can be mounted on the board.

Since the terminals have two separate contacts and connections, redundant secondary current paths are provided for long-term electrical performance and reliability. In addition, its 2.54mm pitch is compatible with the select C-Grid® and KK® 2.54mm pitch product families, further increasing the number of configurations.
