Panel feed-through housings offer sealing on both sides
Panel feed-through housings, which are sealed on both sides, have been introduced by HARTING. Both the cable side and the device side of the Han HPR housings meet the requirements of IP66 and IP68 according to IEC 60529. By designing the housings in such a way, HARTING have removed the possibly of corrosion as the seals prevent condensation from the device side reaching the contacts.
FEP flat ribbon cable meets MIL-Spec requirements
A flat ribbon cable, claimed to be the only solution on the market which meets the MIL-Spec M49055/11 and M49055/12 requirements for harsh environment applications, has been released by Molex. To allow the Temp-Flex cable to withstand exposure to chemicals, extreme temperatures, abrasions and flexure, the company utilised an extruded FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) dielectric insulation material rather than PVC or TPE (Thermoplastic Elastome...
Fibre optic connectors handle harsh environments
