Contactless connectors are cable-free
Molex’s MX60 series comprises solid-state devices that integrate RF transceivers and antennas in a single package to enable contactless connectivity. These high-speed wireless connectors can replace conventional mechanical connectors for point-to-point communications, allowing seamless device pairing and increased communication reliability.
The MX60 series is based on wireless chip-to-chip technology and intellectual property acquired from Keyssa. This core technology operates at data rates from 1 Gbps to 5.4 Gbps over the 60-GHz band with no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth interference.
The first entries in the MX60 series include DisplayPort (main and auxiliary), Gigabit Ethernet, and USB 3.0 SuperSpeed contactless connectors. An integrated retimer optimizes signal integrity at higher data rates. According to Molex, MX60 connectors offer solid-state wireless connections with enhanced reliability and robustness for high-vibration applications and harsh environments.
Production samples of the MX60 series of contactless connectors are now available. A contactless connector combining USB 2.0 and other low-speed interfaces is currently under development.
