0008030304

The 0008030304 from Molex delivers breakthrough performance in Card Edge Connectors - Contacts for robotics applications. This lightweight connector features a self-cleaning contact system that maintains reliability in dusty industrial environments. Its high-cycle design exceeds 250,000 mating cycles without maintenance.Engineered with Socket technology, the connector incorporates redundant contact paths that ensure continuous operation. The wiping action design removes particulate contamination during each mating cycle.Optimized for 18-24 AWG robotic cabling, the contact system withstands 10,000 flex cycles without wire fatigue. Finite element analysis has optimized the strain relief for omnidirectional movement in articulated arms.The Crimp method creates gas-tight interfaces resistant to industrial lubricants and coolants. Testing confirms stable contact resistance after immersion in common machining fluids.Constructed from Brass shape-memory alloy, the contacts maintain constant normal force despite mechanical shock. Material testing shows <3% force variation after 50G impact testing.The Tin-Lead coating provides exceptional resistance to abrasive wear from industrial particulates. Microhardness testing demonstrates 50% better wear resistance than standard gold plating.Precision-controlled 100.0µin (2.54µm) ensures consistent performance in collaborative robot applications. The optimized thickness profile reduces mating force while maintaining EMI shielding effectiveness.
