The product range of interconnection of data for the industry of Molex Incorporated has been extended with more robust of its male connectors RJ-45 and female for Ethernet, that go directed to industrial systems, marine and of telecommunications.

Designed especially for compact applications that require high levels of densidad and protection, the connectors with levels of protection IP67/IP20 make in accordance with specification PROFINET®. The use extended of Ethernet applications, from offices to in manufacture plants, requires connectors RJ-45 with a higher degree of protection and a yield of category 5 (Fast 100 Ethernet of Mbit/s); between the typical industrial applications they appear the robóticos devices controlled by PROFINET. The connector of data of Molex with protection IP20 is the most compact RJ-45 for Ethernet in the market and the unique version that the connection of 22 cables AWG allows to admit the technology of connection by displacement of insulator (IDT). The connector has been designed with a standard grid of only 14 mm (0.551”), that contributes to the application a maximum encapsulation density. The version of connector with protection IP67 presents an innovating box push-pull that can be closed and be openned with a single hand and a minimum of effort. In spite of its high level of protection, the box is very compact and allows to a fast unfolding and a easy installation without needing special tools. The female connector of panel entrance makes possible a easy transition of the adverse conditions from the industry to protected surroundings IP67/IP20. Hybrid system industrial RJ-45 Integra data lines and power supply in a single connector, whose price is more competitive, for hybrid Ethernet networks. The hybrid male connector with protection IP67 incorporates a closing mechanism by handle for the connection and undocking with a single hand, which reduces the installation costs considerably. The male connectors RJ-45 and female for industrial Ethernet fulfill standard IEC-60603-7. The durability of the male connectors push-pull with protection IP67/IP20 and of the hybrid female connectors is of 750 and 500 cycles of connection, respectively, the last ones to a 48 maintaining voltage of V. The faying surfaces of the male connectors and female of Molex are covered with a lamina of 1.27 gold µm, whereas, in the hybrid version, the feeding contacts have a 5 gold layer of µm to guarantee a trustworthy and consistent yield. The boxes are made with thermoplastic of high quality, with non-flammable characteristics in agreement to standard UL94V-0, and the operating temperatures of the connectors oscillate between -40 and 70 °C.
