Connecting the Devices You Use Everyday
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a topic that’s making headlines lately and for good reason. The IoT refers to connectivity between devices allowing them to communicate with each and with users. Devices like cameras, cars, washing machines, thermostats, and many, many more will be impacted by this trend. The interconnectedness of these devices is set to provide both data and control that was previously unknown.
Making the Internet of Things Possible
Behind the Internet of Things are antennas. Antennas are utilized to transmit and receive signals for a wide range of technologies including cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS. Previously unwanted or unnecessary technology, antennas, must now be considered when designing electronic devices and systems. Molex is one of the top manufacturers of antennas in the market today, serving OEMs in the medical, telecommunications, industrial, consumer electronics, and automotive sectors.

Molex Announces Innovative Seal Technology for Commercial Vehicles
Molex ML-XT Sealed Connection System
Molex Incorporated recently announced the launch of their ML-XT™ Sealed Connection System, a state-of-the-art, securely sealed solution that minimizes electrical failures in grueling commercial vehicle applications while providing assembly cost savings to OEMs and harness makers. Rated IP68 and J2030 power-wash capable, the ML-XT system features a one-piece plug housing and seal design, which is permanently bonded using cutting-edge, two-shot LSR (liquid silicone rubber) molding technology. This ensures definitive and repeatable retention of the plug seal and prevents the seal from rolling during un-mating and mating to guarantee correct seal positioning. It also eliminates the risk of a lost or forgotten seal during installation and maintenance.
The ML-XT system is currently offered in 2, 4, 6 and 18 circuit options, providing design flexibility for a vast range of sensor technologies and low circuit-count applications. The proven Molex XRC™ terminals deliver current ratings up to 13.0A while the nine color-coded housings enable easy visual mating of harnesses to prevent mis-mating.
Molex delivers complete interconnect solutions for a number of markets including: data communications, telecommunications, consumer electronics, industrial, automotive, commercial vehicle, aerospace and defense, medical, and lighting. bisco industries’ website is now updated with complete specs and part building info for Molex connectors.
