Molex Quad-Row Board-to-Board Connectors

Molex has set a standard for space-saving connections with the creation of the world's smallest board-to-board connector, the Quad-Row. The first-ever staggered circuit layout, Quad-Row Board-to-Board Connectors positions pins across 4 rows with a signal contact pitch of 0.175mm. In turn, this enables high-density circuit interconnection and 30% space savings over conventional connection configurations. This solution satisfies the requirements for product miniaturisation and offers almost endless opportunities across a range of industries.
