PicoBlade Standard Cable Assemblies

Off-the-shelf PicoBlade cable assemblies from Molex come in a variety of cable lengths with a compact connector to support designs for both prototyping and global production. Point-to-point, single-row configurations for PicoBlade designs are immediately available. The pin-to-pin map configurations take up less PCB real estate. These assemblies minimize the chance of accidental unmating due to vibration or mishandling.

Prototyping cable assemblies requires tools to crimp terminals; therefore, costs for prototyping a system for UL testing can be significant. Molex off-the-shelf standard cable assemblies help keep tooling start-up costs low by providing a completed assembly that meets the IPC-specification design.

Once prototyping is complete, customers typically need to create drawings and assign resources to find a supplier to build cable assemblies for end products. Molex designs off-the-shelf discrete cable assemblies to provide one-source solutions. This eliminates the need for customers to document design requirements and find another vendor to build assemblies.
