Molex unveils MiniMix hybrid connector for humanoid robotics

Molex on August 9, 2026, unveiled the MiniMix hybrid connector for power and signal in next-generation humanoid robotics. Samples and functional evaluation assemblies are available now, with full commercial production scheduled to begin in the second half of 2026.

Wiring that carries power and high-speed data through limited internal space is a challenge in humanoid robot joints and actuators. Molex says its compact connector, which fits through a 5.65-millimeter opening, combines 15.0A power delivery with Ethernet communications. Samples for design validation and evaluation assemblies are now available.
