Molex has released a new wire-to-wire connector system that, according to the firm, increases reliability and drives more power in smaller spaces. The Squba connectors feature 1.80-mm pitch and carry up to 6-A current.
The new connectors provide the IP67 NEMA rating on the seals and ensure protection against liquid, dust, and dirt. Here, seals and seal caps protect from damages and guard against shipping and handling abuse as well as the possibility of puncturing the seals during assembly.
Michael Gonzalez, global product manager at Molex, says that seals are retained with caps to provide manufacturers of sensors, lighting, vending machines, and liquid dispensers with a durable barrier from moisture and dust. Molex also claims that, compared to similarly sealed products, the Squba connectors offer a narrower pitch and a larger range of circuit sizes.
The Squba connectors come with options for two to 10 circuits. Moreover, the positive latch is low-profile and is designed to prevent wires from getting caught or damaged. The connector system can operate at temperatures ranging from –40°C to 105°C and at 30 N of terminal retention.
