New design for S series connector range
The S series connector is one of the initial designs of the LEMO Push-Pull connector system.
Angled PCB connector offers space-saving benefits
A two-piece angled printed-circuit board connector has been introduced by HARTING which allows a standard M12 circular connector to be mounted in a configuration that allows access to space-saving switches.
Carbon connector suits connecting printed circuit boards
The Zebra 1002 Carbon Connector from Fujipoly offers electronic device manufacturers an extremely affordable and reliable option for connecting printed circuit boards to a variety of LCD displays. The unique layered construction of this interconnect device includes 240 alternating layers of conductive and non-conductive silicone per inch allowing it to accommodate contact pad spacing as close as .015” (0.38mm).
Poke-in connectors suitable for LED lighting applications
A series of Poke-In Slim Wire connectors have been launched by TE Connectivity (TE) that enable users to make wire-to-board and board-to-board connections quickly and easily. The releasable poke-in contact function, along with a design that accommodates various wire sizes, allows for fast installation and rework; no special tools are required.
