LISLE, Ill. — May 7, 2026 — Molex, a global electronics leader and innovator in connectivity solutions, has completed the acquisition of Teramount Ltd., an Israel-based company developing removable fiber-to-chip connectivity solutions optimized for high-volume Co-packaged Optics (CPO) and silicon photonics applications.
“Teramount’s removable passive coupling approach fills a critical gap in the optical stack by supporting wide assembly tolerances and semiconductor-grade wafer-level processes,” said Aldo Lopez, President, Datacom Solutions, Molex. “By integrating this unique technology into our optical interconnect portfolio, Molex will provide a more seamless path from early-stage prototypes to high-volume CPO and other silicon photonics architectures critical to the AI era.”
Teramount will continue to operate as a design and engineering hub in Jerusalem, supported by Molex’s global optical technology, and will become part of the Optical Connectivity division within Molex’s Optical Solutions business unit.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
