FireFly power/control connector adopted by COBO
Samtec has announced the Consortium for On Board Optics (COBO) has adopted a two-piece surface mount connector system based on Samtec’s FireFly Micro Flyover System for the next generation of standardized on-board optical modules. As part of the new miniature footprint, the Power/Control connector from Samtec reduces the size of on-board optical modules while increasing port density in data center and HPC applications.
Smallest bend radius for extended range of servo cables
Offering possibilities for energy supply to drives, motors and industrial machines, igus has introduced the new range of CF29 servo cables. The range has been designed for users with demanding requirements such as very low ambient temperatures, particularly small installation spaces or extremely heavy duty applications.
PV options added to standard connector range
The connector offering available from Stäubli Electrical Connectors now includes the MC4 solar power range. The high performance PV units were branded as Multi-Contact before the company's change of name earlier this year. More than one billion photovoltaic connectors in the MC4 family have been installed worldwide over the past 20 years, often operating in the harshest of environments.
Value-line models added to cable assembly family
The Micro-MaTch family of cable assemblies from TE Connectivity (TE) has been expanded with the addition of value-line models. They provide a cost effective solution for general purpose applications that do not require resistance to the highest temperature ranges, to high levels of vibration, or to extended durability cycles. They are suitable for use in environments where temperatures do not stray outside -30°C to 80°C.
High-current power connector simplifies installation
Hirose has launched a new high-current power supply connector with a snap-lock mechanism that ensures a safe and secure connection. Available in panel mount and DIN rail versions, the snap-lock EM35M Series power connector reduces wiring procedures and eliminates screw loosening commonly found in buss bar applications. Designed for manufacturing power control boxes, generators, fuel batteries, and more, the EM35M Series power connector suppo...
Assemblies engineered for RF, Ethernet and NEMA power applications
The availability of semi-custom SAFER (Smoke and Fire Exposure Reducing) Cable Assembly Series for RF, Ethernet (RJ45), and power applications has been announced by CDM Electronics. The Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) SAFER cable assemblies are intended for spaces where large amounts of cables are in close proximity to people or sensitive electronic equipment, and anywhere PVC’s combustive toxicity is restricted by fire code.
Connectorised cable assemblies feature wide range of standard inserts
HARTING now offers a range of connectorised cable assemblies which provide a key element in the power distribution infrastructure of a data centre - by linking the Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) and the Power Distribution Units (PDUs).
USB-C versions extend data connector range
The range of XLR-Format Feedthrough Data Connectors from Cliff Electronics has been increased with the addition of single and dual USB-C versions. The industry standard 24-pin fully reversible plug USB-C connector system provides high speed transport of data and power connecting system hosts to peripheral devices and replaces various USB-B and USB-A connectors and cables with a future-proof standard.
Connector simplifies PCB layout
Hirose has developed a serial digital interface (SDI) compliant connector that supports high transmission speeds up to 12Gbps. The miniature BNC75 Series radio frequency (RF) connector features an optimized centre contact design that simplifies PCB layout and supports SMT processing, decreasing labour and assembly time.
High speed USB-C is latest addition to data connectors range
Further increasing it’s successful of XLR-Format Feedthrough Data Connectors range; Cliff Electronics has added single and dual USB-C versions. The industry standard 24-pin fully reversible plug USB-C connector system provides high speed transport of data and power connecting system hosts to peripheral devices and replaces various USB-B and USB-A connectors and cables with a future-proof standard.
