Molex unveils two new versions in its Premo-Flex line of jumpers

Dan Kreger, product manager, Molex, says: "As electronic devices continue to shrink in size, we are committed to designing complex, microminiature products that maximise board space while providing the ultimate in flexibility, reliability and cost savings. Premo-Flex products from Molex not only solve complex board-to-board interconnection challenges in confined spaces, they are available off-the-shelf so helping designers reduce lead times and avoid custom tooling costs."

Molex has added an ultra-thin, ultra-flexible 0.12mm cable to its line of Premo-Flex FFC jumpers. The complete line is available in 0.50, 1.00 and 1.25mm pitch; multiple circuit sizes, from 4 to 60; and standard cable lengths, from 30 to 305mm, providing designers with virtually limitless options. Molex can also accommodate custom requirements for FFC cable jumpers in lengths of over 305mm. All Molex FFC jumpers can be terminated to Zero Insertion Force (ZIF), non-ZIF or Low Insertion Force FFC connectors and are suitable for complex board-to-board interconnections in confined spaces.

The Premo-Flex polyimide jumpers from Molex feature etched-copper circuitry, allowing designers to achieve the tight tolerances required for a reliable link to fine-pitch, 0.30mm and smaller microminiature connectors. By terminating with Molex's 0.30mm pitch Easy-On and BackFlip FPC Connectors, the system meets the needs of designers looking for a dual-contact ZIF connector that enables them to use the same PCB pattern on adjoining, parallel PCBs. It also maximises board space and allows design flexibility for compact applications such as digital cameras and handheld medical equipment.
