'CyClone' connector system cooks up a storm of mating cycles
A hermaphroditic CyClone Panel-to-Panel Connector System has been introduced by Molex, designed for secure high-mating cycle connections. The CyClone connector modules offer 10,000 mating cycles for extreme durability in telecommunications, networking, consumer and industrial electronics.
High-performance DC switching made easy
Eaton is ensuring reliable control of frequent DC switching with the introduction of its DILDC300/600 range of hybrid contactors. Compact and dependable, the power management company’s contactors support loads of 300 to 600 A at up to 1,000 VDC. Conventional contactors all require maintenance after approximately 10,000 to 25,000 electrical operations. However, Eaton’s DILDC contactors require no maintenance and provide an operati...
Miniaturised spring-loaded pins reduce costs by 30-50%
For decades, connector manufacturers have relied on traditional spring-loaded, or pogo-style pins, to provide highly compliant, reliable interconnections. Although expensive, these highly compliant pins are used to connect batteries to docking stations, antennas to PCBs, for rugged, high-shock and vibration applications, or to compensate for floating heights and uneven mating surfaces.
har-flex IDC connectors boost custom cable assemblies
HARTING has expanded its har-flex connector family with the addition of individual cable connectors for the self-assembly of custom cable assemblies. The new self-assembly connectors offer customers an even higher degree of flexibility and versatility in the connection of PCBs using custom-length cable assemblies. Today’s customers are demanding flexible solutions and short response times in the production of these assemblies, particul...

Manufacturer of holemaking and finishing tooling systems, Allied Machine & Engineering, has announced the continued success of Wohlhaupter’s MVS modular connection system. As the original developer of modular tooling systems, Wohlhaupter's time-tested quality products are now part of Allied’s solutions for holemaking and finishing challenges.
Open-source single-cable interface simplifies system wiring
Digital feedback in the same cable and using the same connectors as motor power is a current trend in electrical drive systems. This single-cable approach simplifies system wiring and makes installation and maintenance easier. These advantages have already attracted the interest of both users and manufacturers.
Signal connectors deliver high density in tight spaces
A compact, functional connection solution designed especially for controls, I/O systems and signal interfaces in drive technology is available at distributor Astute Electronics. Weidmuller’s OMNIMATE Signal BLF 2.50 and SL2.50 connectors combine a very small footprint with easy handling and excellent functionality.
Design line of AC vehicle connectors now available from TTI
Now available in Europe through TTI are the new design line of AC vehicle connectors from Phoenix Contact. The components have been developed in accordance with the requirements of the automotive industry (LV 124 and LV 214). Just as the tried-and-tested handle design line, AC vehicle connectors rely on robust and high-quality materials as well as on a uniform plug design.
Elbow plug connector derived from the Italian ‘belissimo’
A new elbow plug connector has been launched by LEMO connectors as the Anglissimo. This patent pending connector offers the system integrator and manufacturer the possibility to orientate the connector in one of the eight possible positions during its assembly.
