Molex, listen up! -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Amol Kane Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2011 9:59 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] MSL on Connectors Thank you Eric!...I was surprised to say the least when I received such a reply from a big parts supplier such as Molex......anybody from Molex listening on this forum?? Based on the document you link me to, these are to be treated as MSL5!!.....very important detail to leave out from your packaging I would say Amol -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Eric Christison Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2011 10:03 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] MSL on Connectors /Unfortunately, Molex does not specify MSLs for our products./ .....and unfortunately we won't buy any any of your connectors then.... Logically they must at least know what the shelf life of the connectors is once they are removed from their packaging even if they don't comply with an MSL level. I just had a search on Google for "Molex" and "MSL" and came up with the following data sheet: http://www.molex.com/pdm_docs/ps/PS-87831-027.pdf If you look at the last page it does give you handling and storage requirements. Not very good ones, I don't see why that sort of device can't meet MSL3. Anyway, they must be able to give you the same sort of advice for the connector you're interested in.
