Molex Introduces New Sealed Connector System with Increased Reliability

Squba 1.80mm-Pitch Sealed Wire-to-Wire Connectors Protect Against Water and Dirt

LISLE, IL – March 12, 2018 – Molex announces the new Squba 1.80mm-Pitch Sealed Wire-to-Wire Connector System, designed to fit in small spaces and provide protection against liquid, dust and dirt. The connectors carry up to a 6.0A current and provide an IP67 NEMA rating on the seals. Seals are retained with caps to provide manufacturers of sensors, lighting, vending machines and liquid dispensers with a durable barrier from moisture and dust.

This Molex product is supremely flexible, with options for 2 to 10 circuits, operating temperature limits ranging from -40 to +105˚C, and 30N of terminal retention. The positive latch is low profile and is designed to prevent wires from getting caught or damaged.

The seal and seal caps protect against on-the-job damage and guard against shipping and handling abuse as well as the possibility of puncturing the seals during assembly. Compared to similar sealed connector products, the Molex Squba 1.80mm-Pitch Sealed Wire-to-Wire Connector System offers a narrower pitch and a larger range of circuit sizes, and is both waterproof and dust-resistant.

“Ultimately, this new Squba system will provide more cost effective power,” said Michael Gonzalez, global product manager, Molex. “Through innovation, we are driving more power in smaller spaces.”

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
