Molex Enhances Micro Product Support for Medical Technology Innovation

Ten years of micro-product supply and technical support promised to meet the long design cycle and product life cycle of medical equipment and equipment (Singapore - December 8, 2011) Molex, a leading global supplier of interconnect products, reiterated its support for medical technology innovation Manufacturers design equipment to improve their health and save lives, offering a selection of core micro product lines. These products are equipped with up to 10 years of purchase, replacement and technical support to more accurately match the design cycle of the medical industry. Molex's micro-interconnect solutions include FFC/FPC, board-to-board, micro-miniature wire-to-board, and memory card connectors that have been widely used in medical device applications.

Anthony Kalaijakis, Molex Strategic Medical Marketing Manager, said: "Molex offers one of the industry's most complete family of tiny, fine-pitch connectors to support designers and manufacturers in the medical industry. Our miniature connector family now has a strong follow-up product offering. And technical support commitments to help achieve the smooth release of medical equipment and equipment and a longer product life cycle.”

Molex's innovative miniature products follow the trend toward smaller, lighter, integrated solutions for mobile and portable medical applications. The company's core micro products include some of the most innovative and minimal connector systems on the market. E.g:

The SlimStackTM 0.40 mm pitch, board-to-board connector system, which saves approximately 25% of the total space IllumiMateTM 2.00 mm wire-to-board connector system, provides the narrowest width of any comparable low-power connector system compared to competing models. And significant cost and performance advantages.

The FPC 0.30 mm pitch double contact connector offers the shortest length and the most robust FPC fixing compared to competing models. At the same time, when the FPC routing is arranged on the parallel circuit board, the top and bottom connectors can be omitted.

The microSD* ultra-compact 1.28 mm high memory card connector reduces memory card pop-ups and jams on portable devices such as mobile phones.

Kalaijakis added: "From portable electronic defibrillators and hand-held blood glucose monitors to drug delivery pumps and medical imaging devices, Molex is able to provide innovative interconnection solutions to meet the needs of medical technology designers today and the next decade. Needs."
