Vertical Farming

Molex Technology in LED lighting is spurring innovative approaches to farming, allowing crops to be grown without direct sunlight in self-contained, environment-controlled, and monitored buildings, also known as vertical farming. Horticulture-specific wavelength LEDs provide the necessary light but are dependent on the most innovative and reliable interconnect products. Molex is a recognized leader in providing sealed and unsealed interconnect solutions, wire and cable assemblies, and thermal management expertise for a range of lighting segments and offers vertical farmers the needed simplicity, flexibility, and innovation.

Molex Brad Connectors

Brad Connectors

Molex Brad Connectors are designed to simplify the installation process and provide reliable performance even in the most demanding industrial environments. This product line includes a wide range of connectors, including high-pin-density M12 connectors, M8 connectors, IP67-rated connectors, and other industrial-grade connectors.

Brad Mini-Change Connectors

Molex Brad Mini-Change Connectors offer highly durable performance with an IP67 protection rating. The moisture-resistant design includes gold over nickel plating to provide a longer-lasting solution. An epoxy-coated coupling nut, a feature offered only in the Molex Brad Mini-Change product line, provides a minimum of 500 hours of corrosion resistance. The Quad Beam™ female contact maintains constant pressure on the mail pin for optimal connectivity and a low-resistance connection. In addition, an anti-vibration feature prevents the coupler from loosening, even under extreme conditions. The Mini-Change product lineup includes H-connectors, which facilitate better organization of cable routing and ease stress on connectors. The H-connectors also reduce requirements for cable lengths in industrial applications needing compact quick-change power connections.

Environmentally Sealed Connectors

Molex Environmentally Sealed Connectors provide an ideal interconnect solution for heavy-duty and harsh-environment applications. Molex offers a wide range of standard-sealed and custom-sealed interconnect systems. These connectors are suitable for applications requiring ruggedized sealed plugs, receptacles, and power connectors, including IP67 or IP68 ratings.
