Duo-Clasp Wire-to-Board System

Category Wire-to-Board Connectors
Pitch 1.25mm
Circuits: 20, 30, 40

Molex's Duo-Clasp system is designed for LCD and PDP TV applications. As a 1.25mm pitch dual-row system with gold plating, Duo-Clasp now fills a niche that was missing in Molex's range of positive lock wire-to-board connectors. Although some of the design features are slightly different, the Duo-Clasp family of connectors can be viewed as an extension to our CLIK-Mate line. Both CLIK-Mate and Duo-Clasp feature a dual positive-lock system that provides superior mating retention compared to positive-lock systems with just a single-lock interface. The dual-lock design prevents the housing from being dislodged from the PCB connector in case the wires are pulled, which can cause poor signal contact. Both systems also offer a tactile "click" feel to confirm mating. The main difference between CLIK-Mate and Duo-Clasp is the plating: Duo-Clasp has gold contact plating whereas the various CLIK-Mate families have tin. The gold plating option offers customers additional mating and contact durability for those applications requiring those features.

Fiber Optic Assemblies

Category Fiber Optic Product Families
Fiber Type: Fused Silica

Assemblies consist of opto-mechanical and electro-optical components that incorporate standard features with custom-configured fused silica and precision optical components. Added optical features such as micro-machined end tips, metal terminations or precision couplings can be included. Customer requirements andor specifications help to determine whether standard products or custom-designed optical and mechanical parts are required. Assemblies may include optical, electrical and mechanical functions in a single unit. Design requirements vary in complexity: from a single, finished, optical fiber (with or without end-terminations) to a complex branching assembly. Optical fibers can be bundled at one end and fanned out into various configurations at the opposite end. Custom end shapes can be micro-machined directly onto the optical fiber, saving bonding and coupling losses. Termination style and technique, jacketing and fiber type may be specified to ensure optimum system performance.

Diameter Internal tolerances as low as ±1µm
Cutting / Cleaving Techniques: Standard and precision cleaves Saw and laser cutting

Capillary tubing assemblies range from simple cut pieces of standard capillary to complex, multi-capillary assemblies. Customer specifications and application requirements are thoroughly reviewed by the technical team to determine the most cost-effective assembly design. With over 50 standard products, Molex offers the widest range of Polymicro Technologies capillary sizes in the market. Alternately, custom sizes can be economically produced, with many small diameter capillary having internal diameter tolerances as low as 1 m. Selection of the appropriate cutting or cleaving techniques for producing the desired capillary end finish is critical for all assembly types. Cutting and cleaving techniques include standard cleaves, precision cleaves, saw cutting, and laser cutting. Once the capillary size and end-face requirements are defined, cut capillary pieces can be produced, ranging in length from a few millimeters to over 100m depending upon the application. For flow restrictor applications, the flow rate is specified, in which case the part length is based on the measured internal diameter. In many instances a small segment of the protective polymeric coating is removed, a technique referred to as windowing. Molex has perfected this laser-based manufacturing capability and it can be performed on a wide variety of single and multi-capillary assemblies, including those with internal coatings. In addition, the fused silica can be laser machined to form unique end-face designs such as caps and emitters. Molex has extensive expertise in complex, multi-capillary assemblies up to 384 capillary. Mechanical assembly components can be customer supplied or jointly developed from prototype to volume production.

BLC LC Optical Backplane Connector System

Category Optical Connectivity
Mode Singlemode, Multimode
Connector Type: LC
Defense Military/Aerospace

PCB-mounted and pigtailed devices, such as LEDs, lasers and receivers, often need to be connected to an optical backplane that is hard to reach, requiring labor and system downtime. Pigtailed active devices, located anywhere on the daughtercard, are terminated to the card-edge-mounted BLC connectors, making it easy to engage and disengage. Furthermore, BLC connectors and adapters provide a blind-mating interface available with either ceramic or metal sleeves and standard LC inputoutput ports. As a result, the BLC Optical Backplane Connector System provides easy insertion, removal or exchange of daughtercards without disrupting inputoutput ports and associated cabling. Mismating of connectors can lead to damage and poor signal integrity. Movement can also compromise connections during hot swapping of daughtercards. The BLC Optical Backplane Connector System uses a generous axial design, which allows the connectors to self-align inside the adapter and provide physical contact. It also uses unique mechanical latching to provide isolation between the card and backplane, minimizing mechanical movement of the optical interface during hot-swapping.

Optical Backplane Connector System

Category Optical Connectivity
Mode Singlemode, Multimode
Connector Type: SC
Defense Military/Aerospace

PCB-mounted and pigtailed devices, such as LEDs, lasers and receivers, often need to be connected to an optical backplane that is hard to reach, requiring labor and system downtime. The widely field-deployed BSC and BSCII optical backplane connector systems integrate the standard SC with a blind-mating PCB mountable connector, through a custom optical backplane adapter. The blind-mating interface provides the daughtercard with a plug-in feature that allows the card to be inserted or exchanged without disrupting the inputoutput ports or their associated cabling. Mismating of connectors can lead to damage and poor signal integrity. This system is designed with generous ferrule float in order to compensate for the imprecision of the card cages. Telecommunications and networking systems are continually developing and require frequent upgrades, which can be costly and labor intensive. If additional density is required, the connector may be gang mounted. The BSCII optical connector is backwards compatible with the original BSC. For multiple fiber applications, alignment pins in the housing allow the connectors to be stacked. SC adapters can present a risk to eye safety and are sensitive to dust contamination. In addition to the traditional SC style adapter, a shuttered SC version, which shields against laser exposure and dust contamination, is also available.

Optical Industrial Assemblies

Category Optical Connectivity
industrial Monitoring
Connector Type: LC, SC, MPO

Due to decreasing box sizes, many designers are now placing the transceiver cage on the board edge where the outside cable assembly can be mated directly into the device. Because it can be exposed outdoors, the interconnect systems integrity can be vulnerable unless ruggedized.
