Mouser Electronics and Molex Host Webinar on Selecting Reliable Interconnects for Extreme Environments

Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorised global distributor with the newest semiconductors and electronic components, has joined forces with Molex to provide the engineering community with a new webinar titled “How to Select the Right Connector or Interconnect for Harsh Environments”. This free-to-attend webinar will take place on 14th October 2025 at 16:00 CET.

The choice of connector or interconnect is a critical factor in ensuring system safety, reliability, and long-term performance for engineers developing electronic solutions that must operate in extreme environments. Often subjected to vibration, dust, water, and temperature extremes, connectors are among the most exposed components in an electronic system. This webinar will explore how engineers can overcome these challenging environments, providing practical insights into selecting and applying Molex’s rugged components that keep equipment operational across industries such as automotive, mining, transportation, energy, and industrial automation.

By attending this webinar, participants will learn more about:

• How selecting the right connector or interconnect system can help prevent costly failures, unexpected downtime, and reputational risk when operating in harsh or high-demand environments.
• The critical design parameters and ruggedisation features that ensure long-term connector performance, where reliability is non-negotiable.
• How proven automotive-grade solutions from Molex are being applied far beyond cars, with real-world examples in industries such as industrial automation, energy, aerospace, and medical devices.
• Featured Molex products that support harsh environment innovation:
  • MX-DaSH Wire-to-Wire Connector System is a compact, high-density solution designed to combine power, ground circuits, and high-speed data connections into one robust connector system.
  • High-Speed FAKRA-Mini Interconnect System can deliver 28Gbps at frequencies up to 20GHz while being 80% smaller than traditional FAKRA connectors.
  • DuraClik Wire-to-Board Connectors are compact, low-profile connectors that provide superior electrical contact reliability, mating retention, and space savings, with variants suitable for operation up to +125°C.
  • stAK50h Unsealed Connection System is a solution that incorporates unsealed hybrid connectors to deliver signal and Ethernet connectivity in one low-footprint connector.
  • MX150 Sealed Connector System features pre-assembled, fully submersible connectors, ideal for single- and dual-row configurations supporting both signal and power applications (up to 22A).
  • Mizu-P25 Miniature Waterproof Connectors feature IP67 certification, providing superior levels of dustproof and waterproof protection along with space savings. 

The webinar will be hosted by Mark Patrick, Technical Content Director, Mouser Electronics in EMEA, and will feature Ian Vanner, Business Development Manager – Distribution Transportation Innovative Solutions, Molex, as the guest speaker.
