Overcoming Design Challenges with Ruggedized Connectivity

Rugged once meant big and bulky – yet ruggedness today needs to encompass reliability, flexibility, functionality and shrinking form factors. Technology advances are enabling levels of autonomy and efficiency once only imagines.

With productivity improvements making electronic systems more commonplace, components are often exposed to unpredictable conditions and harsh operating environments.

Together with Avnet Abacus, Molex provides rugged and reliable connectivity solutions that help customers enhance product quality, optimize signal integrity, ensure dependable operation and keep the world running – through rain, sleet, snow, humidity, vibration, chemical sprays and more.
