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.”

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
