D-Sub connectors feature special mounting bracket
Provertha’s new D-Sub connectors are ideally suited for applications demanding small mounting heights on the PCB. The D-Sub Eurostyle connectors are available in male and female versions with 9 to 37 pins and a mounting height of only 3.6 mm. Due to the low mounting height of only 3.6 mm compared to the standard version with 7.3 mm, a typical 19-inch rack can accommodate more plug-in slots at a given front panel width for example.
Robust cable assemblies measure DC to 40GHz frequency range
Radiall's TestPro cable assembles designed specifically for testing and measurement in the DC - 40GHz frequency range, depending on connector and cable selected are avaialble from TTI. The cables offer outstanding electrical performance combined with mechanical robustness and durability for a long service life.
Fibre-optic connectors offer 0.06dB insertion losses
For designers who need to terminate optical cable in harsh or challenging environments, Lane Electronics has introduced a fibre-optic connector solution. The Positronic Optik-D series is a hybrid connector system which allows designers to incorporate power, signal, coax and now optical contacts in a single mixed density, D-Subminiature format.
Mated connectors stay waterproof at 2m for two weeks
The HR41A series, released by Hirose, is a group of IP68 rated, small, light plastic power connectors with advanced lightning surge protection of 15kV. The connectors are suited to power applications outdoors and in other harsh environments. When the connectors are mated, the unique waterproof gasket design prevents water intrusion, even while submerged in water at 2m for 14 days.
Railway connector meets EN 45545 smoke and fire standard
High reliability is a feature of the newly launched MSG 3U connector from Esterline Connection Technologies –SOURIAU. It is designed for on-board or on-ground Train Control Monitoring System and Train Information Management System applications, the MSG 3U connector by Esterline Connection Technologies.
Interconnect system eases installation in backplane applications
TTI is now selling Molex’s VITA 66.1 ruggedised optical MT backplane interconnect system enables simple installation and maintenance for rugged embedded VPX MIL/AERO backplane applications. The interconnect system targets high-density aerospace, defence and commercial embedded system applications and is fully compliant with the ANSI-ratified 66.1 specification.
Plug-in connector's slim design suits ESS storage batteries
Expanding its plug-in connector series, Hirose has introduced slim design devices for ESS (Energy Storage System) batteries, UPS and industrial machinery. The PS3 series is available in power only and signal/power hybrid versions, with the power contacts supporting up to 150A and the signal contacts supporting up to 1A.
Fire-resistant RJ45 meets European rail standards
The EtherRail connector is the first RJ45 on the market specifically designed for the field assembly of fire-resistant data cables in rail applications, claims Harting. The connector is designed for wires with an external diameter of up to 2mm and cables with diameters of up to 9mm.
Ethernet modules eliminate wiring errors
Designed to connect industrial controllers to I/O devices in harsh-duty environments, the Brad HarshIO IP67 Compact Ethernet Modules have been released by Molex. Measuring 30mm, the modules can be configured as inputs or outputs with M8 or M12 connectors, making them suitable for attaching sensing devices or actuators.
