Connectors Boost Mobile Internet Market Growth

According to the survey, the ultra-mobile market will continue to grow rapidly in 2013. It is estimated that the global smart phone shipments will exceed 830 million units, with an average annual growth rate of approximately 30%. Among them, Chinese brands will show up. With strong growth momentum, shipments in 2013 grew by more than 50%, which is higher than the global average. With the rapid development of this market, Mollex, the world's leading one-stop supplier of interconnect products, has developed a complete set of mobile product interconnection solutions, including small ones, around increasingly complex mobile interconnection devices. Dimensions, board-to-board and flexible circuit board (FPC) innovations, as well as customized and industry-standard connectors for I/O, camera sockets, memory, and SIM cards And antenna products.

Weng Weixiong, marketing manager of Murex South Asia Pacific, said: “One of the advantages of Mollex in technology development is that through practical application in different industries, a number of innovative technologies and products have emerged and are now available to companies. Internal resource sharing is also the real reason why Molex can use some leading technologies in the field of mobile interconnect devices."

For the development of miniaturization of mobile Internet devices, Molex currently offers connector products with a minimum of 0.20 pitch (itch) in the FPC connector section; Mollers currently offers 1.20 pitch (mm) connectors in the online board section. Product, used as a battery connection, can support a single 2A current; in the board-to-board part, for more and more applications for battery connection applications, the 6ckts, height only 0.70 (mm) connector developed by Mollex The product can support 4A of high current; in the part of SIM card connector, the latest 3FF Micro-SIM card socket from Mollex has a size of 12x15mm, which is smaller than its predecessor Mini-SIM (or 2FF) card. 52%, suitable for ultra-thin smart phones, tablet PCs, GSM/UMTS modems, PC cards and other products, and equipped with two push-pull and push-pull options. At the same time, in order to meet the needs of high-speed data transmission, the SpeedStack connector system released by Mollex supports high-density, low-side-high connectivity for data rates up to 40Gbps per differential line pair.

In addition, in the development of the I/O connector, Weng Weixiong specifically stated: “In this part, Mollex’s current R&D focus is on the waterproof performance of the product, with innovations in the environment of vehicle, marine equipment and industrial power module applications. In development, Mollex has now launched a series of high-waterproof sealed connector products that can be applied to mobile interconnection devices. At the same time, as connectors are increasingly becoming part of the design of integrated mobile devices, Mo Lex will also be more involved in the product design process of the complete equipment manufacturers, and bring them more abundant and personalized product selection solutions."

In the field of mobile antennas, Mollers uses advanced Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) technology to directly form a metal antenna pattern on a plastic support, making the antennas of mobile devices more stable and stronger in anti-interference ability. Save more design space. According to reports, Mollex has now developed a 2.4GHz SMD ground antenna, which is the smallest molded interconnect device antenna on the market. The high-performance 2.4 GHz antenna weighs only 0.03 grams, uses powerful and sophisticated LDS technology, and can be used in portable electronic devices such as tablets and mobile phones that include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and other wireless standards. In addition, Mollex has also developed MobliquA antenna technology, including proprietary technology for bandwidth enhancement. MobliquA technology is suitable for mobile handsets, portable electronic products, tablet computers, and laptop-like devices. It simplifies the optimization of antenna impedance and matches different RF engines to reduce current consumption. This is a critical requirement for super mobile devices, and Improved power conversion efficiency. Compared with the standard system, this new technology can increase the impedance bandwidth by 60% to 70% without increasing the antenna size or sacrificing efficiency.

It is also reported that Molex also recently launched a new App application that allows tablet users to quickly access more than 90 different Molex products. This Molex App software is available for Apple and Android devices, allowing tablet users to view product information, search for products, view document data and videos without online, App users can access a link to the Morex website for more details Internet connection for product number information, anytime, anywhere access to Molex's various connector solutions.
