Molex C-Grid III™ Modular Interconnect Systems

Molex C-Grid III™ Modular Interconnect Systems are 3^rd generation 2.54mm pitch header and receptacle interconnect systems offering unique design features. These interconnect systems offer complete design flexibility and modular components that provide the widest range of electronic packaging alternatives. The C-Grid III interconnect systems are based on north/south contact orientation and combine three different termination techniques including solder tail, crimp, and insulation displacement. These interconnected systems are fully compatible with the industry-standard DIN41651 as well as the French norm HE-13/14.

The C-Grid III interconnect systems' headers easily breakaway to produce smaller sizes for design flexibility and quick turnaround. These headers also feature high pin retention force and high mechanical stability after soldering. The C-Grid III interconnect systems' receptacles are stackable end-to-end and meet HE-13/14 specifications. The C-Grid III interconnect systems are ideal for use in desktop PCs, servers, vending machines, industrial equipment, base stations, infotainment, and measurement equipment.
