Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, today announces a new interactive eBook in collaboration with electronics manufacturer and connectivity innovator Molex.
In The Electric Workforce, the new interactive eBook examines how advances in connectivity, power management, and user interfaces are propelling robotics from the factory floor to household and commercial use. Reliable connectors, sensors, and real-time processing enable these robots to navigate, interact, and perform tasks efficiently in everyday environments. The eBook includes articles, videos, and an interactive infographic detailing the ways in which robotics will become ubiquitous in our everyday lives.
The eBook details the challenges designers face in building personal and home robots. These robots will need to interact with humans using voice commands, touchscreen controls, and apps. They will also need to be capable of autonomous mapping and developing efficient, safe routes to complete their tasks while optimizing battery life. The underlying technologies, such as chargers, sensors, processors, and actuators, require effective, reliable interconnect components and assemblies to carry power and signal throughout each robot. Molex offers a comprehensive line of interconnect products, available from Mouser, to facilitate manufacturing and ensure reliability throughout the robots’ life cycle.
The Molex Premo-Flex flat flexible cable (FFC) Jumpers enable designers to maximize PCB space, reduce component costs, and provide devices with reliable board-to-board connections, making them well-suited for robotic applications. The series is offered in lengths, pitches and circuit sizes designed to solve complex board-to-board interconnection challenges in compact or hard-to-reach applications.
The MX150 mid-voltage connectors are designed to meet the growing demand for 48V electrical systems. Part of the extended Molex MX150 connector family, this sealed connector system is field-proven and offers highly reliable performance under extreme temperatures, varying degrees of vibration, and exposure to moisture and chemicals for a variety of applications.
The Squba 1.8mm/3.6mm sealed wire-to-wire connectors feature a protected, low-profile positive latch to reduce the overall component size, while the 1.8 mm pitch further alleviates space constraints. Molex Squba connectors have a contact resistance of 10 milliohms and are ideal for a wide range of space-constrained applications such as robotics and industrial controls.
