In the world of electronics manufacturing, technology never stands still — and Molex proves it once again with a series of innovative new solutions that open up fresh possibilities for PCB designers and manufacturers alike.

As a contract electronics manufacturer, we continuously track such innovations to adapt our assembly technologies for new types of connectors, ensure compatibility with cutting-edge interfaces, and offer customers the best-fit solutions — right from the design phase.

This month’s Molex NPI Digest highlights advanced connector systems, precision RF adapters, and flexible cable solutions — all engineered for seamless integration into today’s most demanding electronic applications.

🔹 HFM – High-Speed FAKRA-Mini: Next-Level Compactness and Speed

Modern automotive electronics demand not only reliability but also real-time, high-speed data transmission. Molex’s new High-Speed FAKRA-Mini (HFM) connectors are built for exactly that, offering:

  • Data transmission rates up to 28Gbps at frequencies up to 20 GHz

  • Miniaturized form factor to save PCB and system space

  • Reduced cable harness weight and simplified routing

✅ Our SMT assembly lines and manual production processes are fully equipped to handle next-gen compact RF connectors.

🔹 Flexi-Latch+ – Secure Connections in Harsh Environments

For electronics used in rugged conditions — such as automotive or industrial automation — Flexi-Latch+ connectors provide:

  • Reliable mating with CPA (Connector Position Assurance) mechanism

  • Integrated polarization to eliminate alignment errors during assembly

  • A more compact alternative to bulky round cable solutions

✅ We support integration of Flexi-Latch+ into high-density PCB layouts and perform functional testing of complete assemblies.

🔹 RF Right-Angle Precision Adapters – Signal Integrity with Every Hertz

Applications like test and measurement equipment, RF modules, and communication systems require:

  • Low signal loss at high frequencies (low VSWR)

  • Durable, space-saving adapters for tight PCB or enclosure integration

  • High signal integrity in demanding environments

✅ We offer precise RF component placement and verify key electrical parameters as part of our quality control process.

🔹 Premo-Flex SlimStack – Flexible Jumpers for High-Speed Interfaces

Where space, weight, and bandwidth are critical, Molex’s Premo-Flex SlimStack is a standout choice:

  • Supports data rates up to 30Gbps

  • Impedance matching for HDMI (100 Ohm) and USB (90 Ohm) protocols

  • Ultra-compact 0.35mm pitch form factor

✅ We provide full integration of FFC/FPC connectors into complex assemblies and offer prototyping with custom flexible jumpers.
