Elbow plug connector derived from the Italian ‘belissimo’
A new elbow plug connector has been launched by LEMO connectors as the Anglissimo. This patent pending connector offers the system integrator and manufacturer the possibility to orientate the connector in one of the eight possible positions during its assembly.
Generation of coolsplice connectors has extended wire range
TE Connectivity is introducing a generation of CoolSplice connectors. This wire-to-wire insulation displacement connector (IDC) splice solution combines reliability with ease of termination. The wire size range has been extended to enable a splice of larger wires. TE’s new connectors leverage a push button design to ease wire termination and the body of the connector is made from a clear material to allow visual inspection of the termi...
Connector range extensions mean more choice with design
Extending the number of models available, Harwin has added to its Industry Standard Connector ranges, including the Archer M50 (1.27mm pitch), M22 (2mm pitch) and M20 (2.54mm pitch) interconnects.
Compact bidirectional data memory module
A compact, bidirectional data memory module for tight mounting spaces is being offered by Balluff. The compact memory module with IP 67 protection is just 34x16x8mm in size and can be used as a memory storage device on interchangeable units such as milling heads on gantry type machining centres.
