PCB connectors suit harsh aerospace environments
TE Connectivity has expanded its DEUTSCH 369 series connector range to include two new versions of the connector, enabling integration directly to the printed circuit board. Key applications include commercial aircraft interiors, helicopter and rail lighting. TE’s DEUTSCH 369 series connectors are designed with the industry’s strict regulations and Electrical Wiring Interconnect Systems’ (EWIS) best practices in mind.
Humidity makes a significant contribution to PIM
Latest research by the strategic alliance formed exclusively to investigate and mitigate sources of Passive InterModulation (PIM) in cellular networks, Hughes Electronics and London Southbank University, has found that humidity makes a significant contribution to PIM. The group has found that humidity deposits a layer of salts and other airborne contaminants which interfere with ‘clean’ signal transit and has invented a novel way...
Flexible VNA test cables operate at up to 110GHz
Four new 1.0 mm flexible cables that are designed to deliver precision testing results for Vector Network Analyser (VNA) testing, semiconductor probe testing, automotive radar testing and military radar testing have been released by Pasternack Enterprises. They are ideal for applications such as test benches, radar, microwave radio and millimetre wave radio.

Sensor actuator boxes speed up installation and save costs
A new range of sensor actuator boxes has been introduced by HARTING which will save users time and money by enabling faster installation and reducing the number of cable lengths required between the sensors and the control cabinet. The sensor actuator boxes are the first in a range of new compact passive I/O distributor boxes for multiple applications.
Connectors can transmit currents of up to 25A per way
Rutronik has introduced MPE-Garry’s range of high performance power connectors to its portfolio. The 724/725 series requires minimum space on the board. The new connectors can transmit currents of up to 25A per way. They are offered as pure power connectors with power contacts only and as combination connectors with a mix of power and signal contacts. The compact design of the devices is achieved using a pitch of 5.00/2.00mm.
