Difference Between Molex, JST, and Hirose Connectors
These three are leading manufacturers of electronic connectors, each with distinct profiles:
1. Molex (USA)
. Profile: The industry giant, especially in power connections and high-reliability applications.
. Key Traits: Known for robust, high-current connectors (e.g., Mini-Fit Jr., Micro-Fit). Ubiquitous in computers (legacy peripheral power), automotive, industrial equipment, and data centers. Often associated with larger pitch sizes and higher power/current ratings.
2. JST (Japan)
. Profile: The global standard for compact, board-level and internal cabling in consumer electronics.
. Key Traits: Dominates in small-pitch, cost-effective series (e.g., PH, XH, SH). Extremely common in drones, RC models, 3D printers, consumer gadgets, and PC peripherals (fan headers). Excellent for moderate-current, space-constrained applications.
3. Hirose (Japan)
. Profile: The specialist in high-performance, precision, and miniaturization.
. Key Traits: Renowned for ultra-reliable, often proprietary designs for demanding fields. A leader in RF coaxial (e.g., U.FL), fiber optic, and ultra-miniature board-to-board connectors. Critical in aerospace, medical devices, premium telecom, and advanced instrumentation.
