Open-field connectors boast patented contact system
A family of of high-density LGA solderless open-field connectors is now on sale at Astute Electronics.. The Airborn RZ Series features a patented Z-axis contact system and is designed to be compressed under pressure between parallel PCBs or between the PCB and other electronic components.
Bridge block simplifies wiring & reduces space requirements
First introduced in its Han-Yellock connector family, HARTING's innovative bridge block multiplier technique has been extended to many other Han connectors. By incorporating the additional contacts within the connector housing, the bridge block enables simplified wiring and reduced space requirements.
Wire-to-board connectors target lithium battery applications
Crimp style connectors, which provide a space saving connection for wire-to-board connections that incorporate both power and signal circuits and sequencing for lithium batteries, have been introduced by JST. Measuring 3.0mm in height, the LBT A Type connectors incorporate polarisation and provide a stable contact performance under high vibration.
Motorsport customers can simply 'click to connect'
Visitors to Lane Electronics' website are now able to specify and purchase specialist motorsport connectors and accessories to their exact requirements. The 'click to connect' store gives users the ability to select a standard product or build their connectors from many hundreds of in-stock components.
Conduit provides additional protection for M12 connector
HARTING has introduced a new version of its established M12 connector with a conduit which provides the attached cable with additional protection against external influences, making it suited for tough industrial applications. The 'M12 with conduit' solution offers IP protection class 65/67 and operates over a temperature range from -40 to +85°C.
Environmental boots shield connectors from water & dirt
Anderson Power Product now offers Environmental Boots to protect their dual pole SB 50, SB 120 and SB 175 connectors from water, dirt, chemicals and UV. The IP64 rated, durable soft sided Environmental Boots’ shield the SB connectors from water and dirt in both the mated and unmated condition.
USB charging cable on Kickstarter has enhanced longevity
Bulky or broken charging cables are an inconvenience that many of us have to deal with regularly, especially when charging electronic devices in transit. With our dependence on technology increasing and the ability to be connected on-the-go becoming more necessary, a company with an entrepreneurial spirit has designed a USB charging cable to overcome these issues: the SBWLY.
Compression-mount connector supports up to 50GHz
A compression-mounted 2.4mm coaxial connector suitable for applications in lab equipment, test equipment, characterisation boards and high-speed backplanes for data/computing and network analysers has been released by Hirose. The H2.4 meets the MIL-STD348B standard, and supports up to 50GHz with a transmission speed of 25Gb/s.
Open pin-field triple row connectors offer 25Gb/s
ERNI has expanded its 1.0mm pitch MicroSpeed high-speed connector system to include a three-row version. The MicroSpeed connector system features SMT terminals that provide a high contact density capable of speeds up to 25Gb/s. The open pin-field design allows for a third (centre) row that can be selectively assigned as ground to optimise signal quality between the higher speed signal conductors or rows.
Speedy samples of versatile connector range offered
Harwin has announced a quick turn around sample service on its Archer range of 1.27mm pitch M50 and M52 fine pitch board-to-board and cable-to-board connectors which are available on tape and reel packaging for easy PCB assembly. The range is available in a wide variety of mating heights, with board-mounted sockets from 2.2 to 8.5mm, and with different mounting options.
