Heilind Electronics Adds Molex Robust Contrinex Inductive and Photoelectric Sensors
October 29, 2019 | PRWEBEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Heilind Electronics, a leading global distributor of electronic components and authorized distributor for Molex products, has expanded its portfolio of Molex industrial automation solutions to include Contrinex inductive and photoelectric sensors.
Molex Contrinex inductive sensors provide non-contact detection of metallic targets at distances up to 40 mm. Vacuum-encapsulated electronics and metal housings protect against shock, vibration, dust, dirt and moisture, making inductive sensors ideal for highly demanding conditions. In addition, the sensors are rated to IP68 and IP69K and sized from M8 to M30. Uses include industrial limit switches and position switches, as pulse-counting devices, or for distance and speed measurement.
Ideally suited for the presence control of transparent objects, Molex Contrinex photoelectric sensors deliver long-distance, non-contact detection of metallic and non-metallic targets. Utilizing its patented UV technology, the sensor system contains an LED that emits polarized UV light and a reflector made of specialized materials. Contrinex photoelectric sensors accommodate variable target color and surface finish and ensure transparent object detection within a 1200 mm range.
The integration of Contrinex inductive and photoelectric sensors into the Molex product portfolio presents designers with a wide range of sensor solutions for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications.

Nolan’s Notes: Is Mexico the Pulse of Electronics in the Americas?
11/04/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesLast year, I attended SMTA Guadalajara, where I saw the results of the Mexican investment in electronics manufacturing. The U.S. was still operating under the Biden administration, and while Mexican EMS companies had expanded capacity to support EV manufacturing, the demand dropped significantly. In my conversations at the show, the sentiment was one of patience. They knew the EV business would likely come back. However, they didn’t expect an overhaul of U.S. trade agreements and tariffs that would shift a more diversified portfolio in Mexico’s direction.
