1.0 SCOPE

This specification addresses the manufacturing techniques and end-usage considerations for Molex’s 0.8mm pitch HandyLink™ I/O

Connectors. The common contact interface used in this family of connectors consists of a flat pad mated to a radiussed edge on a

compression spring blade. The flat pad is enclosed by plastic in an over-molded receptacle housing which provides a sealed

ineterface to facilitate ingress protection. The compression spring blades are extremely durable and are capable of sustaining over

20,000 mating cycles. Two “passive” latches counteract the compression springs to keep the connector pairs mated but enable

simple disconnection by the end-user.

The customer is encouraged to contact Molex with any questions regarding the application of this product.
