“Eliminating the wave soldering process has proven to be the most significant factor in the MOST Junction Box's ability to increase manufacturing efficiency and reduce associated production costs. Molex has worked closely with major automotive manufacturers to design and develop a compatible alternative to the reflow soldering process,” says Padraig Franklin, Product Manager at Molex Incorporated, adding, “Suitable for any application, whether or not related to the automotive market, our new 91905 Series Straight Junction Box meets the MOST standard. The junction box contains 42 circuits and allows OEMs to connect all their multimedia devices using a single connector.”.
The housing of the new 91905 Series Straight Junction Box is made from a high-temperature PPA (polyphthalamide) resin with high resistance to thermal deformation, making it capable of withstanding the temperatures of reflow soldering processes. Equipped with 16 fork terminals for power, 2 fusible terminals, and 24 square 0.61 mm (0.024 in) signal pins, the Molex MOST Straight Junction Box connects the electronics of the onboard multimedia interface module, which contains stereo equipment, GPS, DVD, telephone, and portable media players, to the wiring harness that connects speakers and amplifiers. Molex also offers custom-designed rectangular junction boxes that perform the same function.
MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) is the multimedia networking standard in the automotive industry. Molex is part of the MOST Cooperation, founded in 1998 to develop a common standard for the ever-growing interconnected in-car entertainment, accessory, and multimedia systems. MOST technology was developed to provide an efficient and cost-effective method of transmitting video, audio, and control information between connected devices in the harsh environments of automotive applications. At the same time, it offers excellent quality levels for audio and video transmission.
