In the late 1950s, the Molex Company revealed its pin and socket design for connectors. That became popular in no time, and to date, this easy-to-use and configured I\/O connector is an industry-standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thus, Molex connectors are necessary to configure high-tech computers, home appliances, or automobiles. These connectors make assembling and reconfiguration a smooth and reliable process. Moreover, Molex has been producing under the name of Kleenex and Xerox, etc., by other companies as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s see what a Molex cable<\/strong><\/a> is and how to assemble one.<\/p>\n\n\n Typically, we refer to cables with Molex connectors as Molex cables. The most common example is the 4-pin connector used for personal computer power, especially pre-SATA disk drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, the term “Molex connector” refers to a two-piece pin and socket interconnection. Cylindrical spring-metal pins slide into cylindrical spring-metal sockets in this kind of connection. Moreover, the plugs and sockets are housed in a rectangular matrix inside a nylon shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Such connectors usually have two to twenty-four contacts and are polarised<\/strong><\/a> or keyed to assure proper alignment. Also, in a single housing, you may place pins and sockets in any configuration. Yet, the housing can be male or female.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pin sizes that you can commonly find are 1.57 mm (0.062 in), 2.13 mm (0.084 in), and 2.36 mm (0.093 in). Here, the 1.57 mm pin can handle up to 5A, while the 2.36 mm pin can handle 8.5A. Therefore, you can often use connectors for power since the pins have a wide contact surface and fit firmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTable of Contents<\/h2>\n
