1061141220

Overview

The Molex 106114-1220 is an MPO EMI adapter designed for screw mounting. It features a blue resin body and a diecast metal outer shell to provide electromagnetic interference shielding. The component includes a silicone gasket with Ag/Al filler, supplied compressed, to ensure effective sealing and grounding continuity. This adapter facilitates the connection of MTP/MPO fiber optic connectors while maintaining structural integrity and signal protection in high-density optical interconnect applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding via a diecast metal outer shell
• Includes a silicone gasket with Ag/Al filler for enhanced sealing and grounding
• Designed for secure screw mounting installation

Applications

• High-density optical interconnect systems requiring EMI protection
• Data center infrastructure with sensitive signal transmission needs
• Telecommunications equipment housing optical modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and color code against the official Molex datasheet to confirm the presence of the silver-filled silicone gasket and diecast construction. Ensure the mounting configuration matches the mechanical requirements of the host enclosure. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and current manufacturing status.

Selection Notes

Select this adapter when EMI shielding is critical for optical signal integrity within the assembly. The screw-mount design offers superior mechanical stability compared to snap-in variants. Confirm that the host system accommodates the physical dimensions and mounting hardware requirements specified for the 106114 series adapters.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Molex 106114 series of MPO adapters. The series provides various configurations for fiber optic connectivity, including different colors and mounting styles. The 106114-1220 variant specifically addresses environmental and electrical shielding needs through its specialized metallic and gasketed construction.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the MPO interface, screw-mount style, and EMI shielding characteristics. Verify compatibility with existing MTP/MPO connector housings. Generic non-shielded adapters are not suitable replacements if EMI protection is required by the system design.
