The supplier of connectors and interconnect components, Molex Incorporated, has introduced its latest product, Hermetic-Sealed Multi-Fiber Circular MT Optical Assemblies, which provide system reliability in harsh environments.
Hermetic-Sealed Multi-Fiber Circular MT Optical Assemblies contain 12 to 24 fibers in one small-footprint connector compared to competitive products that utilize discrete-fiber (one fiber per contact) connector designs. One of the key features of the new product is the stainless steel connector housings, which provide high durability and corrosion resistance.
The assemblies are appropriate for applications that require optimal environmental and pressure-sealing capabilities, such as aerospace and defense, mining, oil and gas exploration, industrial process control, and medical. They can operate in temperatures ranging from -40° to 158° F (-40° to 70° C).
