Design Tips for Custom Molex Cable Assemblies
Follow these best practices to ensure your Molex cable assembly is reliable, manufacturable, and cost-effective.
Proper Wire Gauge Selection for Molex Assemblies
Choose appropriate AWG for your Molex cable assembly current requirements. Use 18 AWG for 5-7A Molex wire harnesses, 16 AWG for 8-13A Molex cable assemblies, and larger gauges for higher current Molex connectors to prevent voltage drop and overheating.
Strain Relief Considerations for Molex Cables
Incorporate proper strain relief in Molex cable assemblies through overmolding, heat shrink boots, or cable clamps to prevent stress on Molex connector crimp connections. Strain relief extends Molex wire harness life.
Molex Connector Retention Force Requirements
Ensure Molex connectors have adequate retention force for your application. Consider Molex connector locking mechanisms for vibration-prone environments where Molex cable assemblies experience mechanical stress.
Avoid Sharp Cable Bends in Molex Harnesses
Maintain minimum bend radius (typically 6x cable OD) in Molex wire harness routing to prevent conductor damage and insulation cracking. Proper routing extends Molex cable assembly reliability.
EMI Shielding for Molex Cable Assemblies
Use shielded cables and proper grounding in Molex cable assemblies for high-speed data or EMI-sensitive applications. Shielded Molex wire harnesses prevent electromagnetic interference.
Environmental Sealing for Molex Connectors
Select appropriate Molex connector families (like MX150 sealed Molex connectors) and overmolding for Molex cable assemblies exposed to moisture, dust, or harsh environments. IP-rated Molex wire harnesses ensure reliable operation.
