Full-metal hoods feature 'quick lock' latching
Easily configurable full-metal hoods have been released by Provertha. Series 104 products feature the proven Quick-Lock latching system, allowing cables to be connected faster and easier. The advantages of this system include fast and easy one-hand operation as well as safe locking, supported by acoustic and tactile feedback. This reliable latching also guarantees the highest retention force.
Reed relays offered in reduced-size SIL packages
Pickering Electronics has announced that its series 119 range, for up to 3kV, offers the industry’s smallest available high voltage Single-In-Line Reed Relay. The switches are intended for voltages very much higher than standard small SIL relays, such as cable testers and mixed signal ATE. Four versions are available, all with either 3, 5 or 12V operating coils.
Complete solution for USB Type-C to DisplayPort adapters
A complete silicon and software solution for USB Type-C to DisplayPort adapters has been released by Cypress Semiconductor. The EZ-PD CCG1-based Type-C to DisplayPort Cable solution enables connectivity between a USB Type-C receptacle and a DisplayPort (DP) or Mini DisplayPort (mDP) receptacle, allowing emerging Type-C notebooks and monitors to be interoperable with older products.
Terminal pin suitable for use in BTB & WTB applications
A terminal pin suitable for use in a variety of BTB and WTB applications, has been introduce by Mill-Max. It features a compliant press-fit tail, slotted head and a press-fit feature on the barrel of the pin, providing a reliable connection.
WTB connectors can operate in high vibration conditions
The latest series of wire-to-board, crimp style disconnectable connectors, claimed to provide optimum performance in high vibration conditions, have been introduced by JST. The PBV connectors are compact with a low profile and a 2.0mm pitch.
Connector withstands ambient conditions in splash zone
The recent Han F+B connector series from HARTING has been released, featuring a design that is optimised to meet the hygienic requirements of the food, packaging and beverage industries. The range has been developed specifically to withstand the ambient conditions encountered in the splash zone (Zone 2) as specified by the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group guidelines.
XXL system provides connectors with more space
A modular connector system that enables the configuration of connectors without any space limitation has been introduced by ODU. The ODU-MAC, offered in XXL housing, permits the maximum amount of multi-pole connectors with standard components.
Connector system now available in corrosion resistant plastic housing
Multi-Contact's versatile CombiTac connector system is now available with plastic housings, making it suitable for industrial environments and other applications where resistance to aggressive chemical agents is required. The connectors can be fitted with any combination of high voltage, high current, data, fibre optic, power, thermocouple, coaxial contacts and even pneumatic and fluid connectors.
BTB connector family features high-speed transmission
Hirose has developed the FunctionMAX group, a versatile BTB connector family that features specialised floating alignment capability and/or high-speed transmission. The FunctionMAX BTB connector family includes connector series that are available in various configurations including vertical/mezzanine, right angle/riser card and coplanar.
