Mouser Electronics™, the industry-leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is driving space-saving connectivity innovation with connectors from Molex.

Mouser announced on the 10th that it is now stocking Molex's Quad-Row board-to-board connector products.

The Quad-Row board-to-board connector features a staggered circuit layout and a low-profile design with a 0.175mm pitch, saving 30% space compared to conventional connector products.

This patent-pending connector is ideal for augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR), automotive, communications, IoT, medical, and wearable applications by giving product developers and device manufacturers greater freedom and flexibility in implementing small form factors.

Quad-Row board-to-board connectors are rated for 3.0A current, enabling high power in a small form factor.

Additionally, this product is aligned with the standard soldering pitch of 0.35mm, facilitating mass production using common surface mount technology (SMT) processes.

This product ensures reliable and robust performance thanks to its insert-molded power nails and interior armor that protects the pins from damage during mass manufacturing and assembly. These performance features enable easy and safe joining with a wide alignment area, reducing defect rates.

“Molex continues to drive connectivity innovation to support increasingly smaller yet more powerful devices,” said Justin Kerr, vice president and general manager of Molex’s Micro Solutions business unit. “With our high-density Quad-Row board-to-board connector, customers can integrate more features, sensors, and functionality into extremely tight spaces without compromising device performance. In this way, Molex is setting a new connectivity standard for space optimization.”
