Back wall mounted socket has anti-rotation protection
After the successful introduction of the latest Y-Circ P circular connector series with push-pull interlocking, Yamaichi Electronics has released a back wall-mounted socket. The ‘WD’ socket type is a natural for back wall mounting in combination with circuit board contacts.
USB device solution features low standby power
Fairchild has announced that its first commercial USB Type-C devices are shipping in LeTV’s recently launched Le 1, Le 1 Pro and Le MAX series smartphones. Fairchild’s latest USB solution integrates all key features of the latest Type-C connector in an amazingly tiny 1.2x1.2mm WLCSP package.
Connectors can be configured as power & signal devices
Lane Electronics has released the Positronic Scorpion connector series. The Scorpion connectors are modular and can be configured for use as power connectors, signal level connectors or as a combination of the two in a wide variety of power/signal contact configurations.
Connectors provide higher data rates & more mating cycles
To meet the demands of applications in new market sectors, HARTING has expanded its Han-Modular connector family. Users will now benefit from higher data rates, more mating cycles and greater safety.
PTH IDC connector targets smart grid applications
AVX has added a single contact, Wire-To-Board (WTB) IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) with PTH (Plated Through Hole) terminations to its 9176 series. The connector provides a gas-tight connection to the PCB for long-term reliability as well as preassembled strain relief caps with through-wire or end-stop configurations for maximum flexibility.
FCI reveals silver based plating technology
FCI has completed accelerated life testing of its GCS silver based plating to offer an alternative to existing gold/nickel and GXT finishes in electronic connector applications. GCS plating combines long-term wear and reliability benefits traditionally found in gold-plated connectors, with the lower resistance and higher current carrying capacity found with silver plating.
Connector system improves reliability, lowers costs
RS Components says it has identified two ingenious features of the newly launched Molex ML-XT rugged, sealed connector system that help improve reliability at a competitive price. The ML-XT plastic housing and seal are moulded using a one-piece design, which is economical and reliable.
Small cable gland meets constantly changing market needs
Specialist German component supplier Walter Logan now offers the industry’s smallest cable gland, the PFLITSCH UNI Dicht cable gland system from PFLITSCH. Responding to demands for smaller cable glands, the Dicht M4 cable gland has a mounting height of just 8.8mm with a connection thread length of 2.7mm.
‘Bend-to-the end’ cable assemblies on display at IMS 2015
At IMS 2015, which takes place from 17th to 22nd May in Phoenix, HUBER+SUHNER will exhibit its cable assemblies designed for the space, defence and test and measurement markets.
RotaConnect family features Wire-to-Board solution
FCI has announced the extension of the RotaConnect family with a Wire-to-Board (WtB) solution. The WtB connector mates horizontally with the existing board-to-board version, which is hermaphroditic and surface mount soldered to the PCB. The 3.00mm pitch RotaConnect WtB features a dual beam spring contact design, delivering high-performance and reliability.
