and simple transition from cable assemblies to
discrete wiring
Interface modules are DIN-Rail mounted, PCB-based
interconnect devices that provide an expedient and
simplistic means to transition between system
Input/Output (I/O) connectors and field equipment.
Modules incorporate terminal blocks and other high-
density electronic connectors.
Molex’s Interface Modules have pre-drilled component
holes, allowing for the addition of other electronic
components, if necessary. Typical additions and
modifications to the standard modules may include
resistors, capacitors, diodes or light emitting diodes
(LEDs) for increased functionality.
Custom interface modules are also available and allow
the user to develop a connector interface system to
meet virtually any application and product
requirement. Molex works seamlessly with our
customers to develop application specific modules to
meet unique design requirements.
