Molex

Molex is a global electronics and interconnect manufacturer headquartered in Lisle, Illinois. The company traces its history to 1938 and today operates as a Koch company, with a presence in more than 40 countries and a long-standing reputation for connectivity products used across virtually every electronics market.

Its portfolio extends far beyond the familiar wire-to-board connector. Molex manufactures board-to-board, wire-to-wire, FFC/FPC, circular, RF, high-speed and high-power connectors alongside cable assemblies, wire and cable, antenna systems, sensors, printed electronics and advanced optical connectivity. The company also supports rugged industrial, automotive, aerospace, medical and high-speed data applications where mechanical reliability and signal integrity are critical.

For engineers, Molex is particularly useful when a design needs a complete interconnect ecosystem rather than a single connector. Many families are supported by matching headers, housings, terminals, pre-crimped leads and finished cable assemblies, making it easier to move from prototype to production while retaining a known mechanical and electrical interface.
