Smaller, lighter circular connectors meet mil-spec standards
The latest generation of Eaton's Micro-Military Circular Connector Series with shell diameters as small as 0.43in (11 mm) is now available at CDM Electronics. The series consists of fast-mating M1 (dual-start) and M5 (triple-start) connectors optimised for harsh environment applications ranging from C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) to space flight.
Cable tie-mounts securely attach cables to electronic enclosures
PEM TY-D self-clinching cable tie-mounts and hooks from PennEngineering create secure metal attachment points for mounting wires and cables to electronic chassis or enclosures. The hardware installs quickly and reliably in thin steel or aluminium panels, eliminates any need for screws or adhesives, and can be positioned permanently at specified locations and angles to promote optimised layouts.
Cord sets cover broad swathe of industry sectors
Alpha Connect high-performance products for industrial connectivity from leading manufacturer Alpha Wire have been added to the Aerco cord sets and accessories portfolio. Alpha Connect addresses the rapidly growing industrial automation market and provides an end-to-end solution for connecting sensors and actuators on the factory floor, ensuring reliable and safe communications that increase productivity and reduce downtime.
Giving your connectors some extra protection
