As the data rates increase and devices become smaller, the high speed signals are placed in close proximity of each other and the probability of signal interference increases. Objective of effective shielding in high performance board to board connectors is to minimize this unwanted signal from components near by, interfereing with the desired signal in connector  …
Sometimes there is a need to transmit power, low speed control and high speed data signals all in the same harness. While the micro-coaxial cables provide shielding to electromagnetic field and keep it inside the cable these full 360 degrees EMI shielding metallic cover over the mated signal contacts, called ZenShield® prevents the high speed signals to interfere with…

On July 10, 1963, at Fushimi-ku in Kyoto, Akira Konishi invented the module system (total division structure, complete heat hardening treatment, and all precision machining after total hardening) for the purpose of specialized production of precision dies and established DAI-ICHI SEIKO Co., Ltd. The molds that were being made around this time were "high-performance…

Dear Customers,
Thank you for choosing I-PEX connector products.
I-PEX is taking proactive measures to combat counterfeit products to ensure reliable and safe use of I-PEX connector products for our clients.
In a recent research, we have confirmed that there are counterfeit products on the market bearing strong resemblance to our connectors.
Despite of the nearly indistinguishable…
Insertion Loss, Return Loss and VSWR are key performance indicators of High Speed Twinaxial and Micro-Coaxial Cable Assemblies. A high performance micro-coaxial cable results in excellent signal integrity and reduced losses in high speed applications. At I-PEX we take pride to offer the high performance CABLINE micro-coaxial and twinaxial cable assemblies which are…
We would like to express our deepest sympathy to the victims of the earthquake in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan that occurred on May 5, 2023. At this time, there is no impact on our product supply system due to the earthquake.
I-PEX has a large lineup of general-purpose connectors rated at 85°C and products designed for consumer devices, and we have also developed a number of products that can handle high temperatures, from 105°C to 125°C.
"Empty-closure", a common occurrence in manufacturing and assembly, is the operation of an actuator without inserting an FPC into the connector. It can cause connector damage or incomplete mating when the FPC is subsequently inserted.
This white paper introduces the "empty-closure" issue by using I-PEX's MINIFLEX® series as an example, and how it is addressed, as well as the design know-how gained through analysis and calculation to ensure that the connector will function even if an empty closure occurs.
