|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01/31/2026 | 516624 - Equipment Transfer, Production Transfer or Rearrangement. PSBU product transfer from Lincoln to Nogales; assembly work stations ASY014, 023, ASY036 & ASY066 plus support conventional molds L4441901, 02, 03 & 4489001 | Download | |||
| 11/11/2022 | 512815 - Change Supplier. This notification is to inform you that one of Molex’s long standing North American supplier of Trays and Lids is filing for bankruptcy causing Molex to have to change our supplier source in order to continue to provide product to our customers. This will be a packaging supplier change only. There will be no change to the Production Process, Fit, Form or Function of the product packaged in these trays and lids. | Download | |||
| 07/30/2021 | 510402 - Packaging Method/Quantity Changing. Tray material change from PVC to PET, shortage hascaused need for molex to pivot to an alternate material called PET, the recycle code on the trays will change from #3 for pvc material to a #1 for PET material, PET material makes the trays very clear where as the PVC material gave a clear bluish tint. | Download | |||
