1000173544

Molex's 1000173544 sets new standards in the Pluggable Connectors market, specifically developed for industrial automation systems requiring robust connectivity solutions. This connector series delivers unmatched mechanical durability while maintaining precise electrical characteristics critical for Industry 4.0 implementations.The Cage, Ganged (1 x 4) with Heat Sink design incorporates advanced thermal management features for continuous operation in 85 C environments. Its cage-with-heat-sink variant demonstrates 25 C lower operating temperatures than competitive products in PLC cabinet installations, extending component lifespan by 30%.As a ZQSFP+ interface specialist, this connector supports both copper and optical media with identical footprints. QSFP-DD versions achieve 400Gbps throughput with backward compatibility, solving upgrade path challenges in data center spine-leaf architectures.Engineered for Through Hole, Right Angle installation, the connector features board-lock mechanisms that withstand 50G mechanical shock. Right-angle configurations save 40% vertical space in control panel wiring compartments, while maintaining full compliance with IEC 61076-2-101 vibration standards.The Press-Fit system ensures gas-tight connections resistant to sulfurization. Solder cup variants exhibit less than 2m contact resistance change after 500 thermal cycles (-40 C to +105 C), making them perfect for offshore oil platform instrumentation.EMI Shielded, Light Pipe include innovative solutions for harsh environments. Light pipe integration enables visual status monitoring without additional components, reducing assembly time by 15% in automotive test equipment manufacturing.
