Hong Kong, 23 November 2009 :
RS Components, the leading distributor of electronic, electro-mechanical and industrial products, today announced it has further added 2,300 products from Molex into its Connectors product range. The new introductions expand the total Molex range available from RS to over 3,500 parts and gives customers access to a complete range of interconnection solutions from Molex.
Highlights from the new range additions include the introduction of the C-Grid® / SL system into RS' portfolio. The C-Grid dual-row board-to-board system combines with the SL (Stackable Linear), a modular single-row wire-to-wire and board-to-board system. Together, these products offer the largest number of variations and cabling configurations in the industry.
The popular Molex KK series, developed to meet the challenges of modularisation, has been increased with over 250 new additions to this family, giving customers multiple pitch options and allowing thousands of configurations. The RS range of FFC connectors, designed for use in signal and data applications requiring flat flex cable, has doubled in size with more than 150 new products added. Further additions include increased Mini-Fit Jr and Micro-fit 3.0 ranges.
The full Molex range is available direct-from-stock in industry-standard production packaging, at flexible quantities so customers can order the quantity they need and avoid unnecessary stock-holding costs. A complete price review has also been carried out to ensure the offer is priced competitively against the market. Customers can also achieve larger discounts when ordering higher quantities.

We are excited to be increasing our Molex portfolio and have worked closely with Molex to give our customers a more comprehensive range at competitive prices coupled with market-leading service."
