Home Appliances

A growing appeal for home appliance technology to simplify everyday tasks has been driven by an ever-rising demand for connectivity and automated features. Emerging trends like IoT compatibility and robotic kitchens have led to appliances that are more complex in both design and functionality, making it even more challenging for manufacturers to bring new products to market and refresh existing platforms. To meet customer expectations, design engineers must fit added functionality into limited spaces, safely generate more power and adhere to environmental considerations.

Molex’s global team of engineering leaders is constantly introducing innovative, reliable solutions for home appliance manufacturers. In the home, we understand that the appliances of today pose many of the demands one may expect from an industrial environment, placing a particular focus on consumer safety. 

Devices like ovens, dishwashers and dryers are frequently exposed to extreme heat, liquids and vibration: each of which may cause malfunction or even fire. Our expansive portfolio of PEDOT sensors and Glow Wire capable connectors adhere to all safety and environmental requirements mandated by the home appliance industry, protecting your customer and your brand reputation.

Safety doesn’t start in the home, though – it begins on the assembly line. Molex is vested in the industry’s workforce and our development of more ergonomic connectors, such as Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) technology, which reduces physical strain of assembly line employees while minimizing product failure resulting from improper assembly.
