Photocoupler

Molex , the world's leading one-stop interconnect product supplier, announces its second-generation sealed, hybrid, high-density, modular connector family based on a successful CMC connection system. The CMX series is fully protected. The new CTX terminal series with hermetic function provides optimum sealing performance. The CMX connector series is ideal for powertrain applications in the transportation industry, such as engine control units, automatic transmissions, suspension controls and electric parking brakes.

Salvin Williams, global product manager at Molex , said: "The next-generation CMX connector family is based on Molex 's 10-year-old CMC product line with significant performance improvements while maintaining cost advantages. All new CMX connectors are available. Unique in that the complex interface seal protection design ensures that the connector is protected before, during and after disconnection."

The first two circuit sizes of the CMX series are compact 5-5/55-circuit CMX connectors and 5-row/65-circuit CMX connectors to meet the transportation market. More connectors of different circuit sizes in the series are currently under development.

The two CMX connectors use 0.635mm (0.025") and 1.50mm (0.059") CTX terminals for low current and medium current applications, and the new porous seal technology is used to achieve the ultimate high performance seal of CTX terminals. ISO and ASO cable sharing. The CTX terminal system features a solid-clear design that excels in harsh environments for small, medium, and high current applications. They use high conductivity copper alloys for excellent stress relief and current delivery characteristics.

The sealed back cover can be molded with a frangible dummy plug for the cavity of the CTX terminal, helping to reduce the integration cycle and application cost of the device manufacturer, and it also provides greater flexibility for the customer's unused terminal cavity. Sex.
