June 7, 2018 – Molex introduced improvements to its PicoBlade connector that is designed to meet the growing needs in the consumer, healthcare and industrial markets for a secure connection in rugged applications.
The 1.25 pitch PicoBlade connector offers a connection in both wire-to-wire and wire-to-board applications. With four header options, the PicoBlade is intended to meet the design needs of products ranging from automotive media systems to healthcare applications.
The two-point connection design delivers a secure electrical connection, even under low-current, low-voltage and high-vibration conditions. The crimp receptacle has two latching ramps to minimize uncoupling due to shock or vibration.
The PicoBlade is offered in both vertical and right-angle connections in a variety of wire-to-board and wire-to-wire connections, and 2-, 8- and 15-circuit configurations. It also features an off-the-shelf assembly in a variety of cable lengths.
