Molex claims that its Pico-Clasp family is the smallest pitch connector family for positive lock wire-to-board crimp systems available.
This new 1 mm pitch wire-to-board connector system offers space-saving solutions in applications such as plasma display panel (PDP) TVs, liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs, Notebook PCs and other compact devices, where small sizes are an industry standard. Versions with an inner positive lock provide latch protection, secure mating confirmation and reliability compared to most traditional outer-lock styles. Inner positive lock versions are available in six to 50 circuits.
Versions with outer positive locks are available in three to five circuits and provide strong mating retention along with a clear audible click when all connectors are in place. Low mating and unmating forces allow for easy connector insertion and extraction. The system is offered in both single and dual row versions and friction and positive locking options are available for various application needs. In addition, the wide header variations provide customers with many choices and overall design flexibility.
Other features of the Pico-Clasp family include mating guides, solder tabs and footprint compatibility with some competitive versions.
