Cables/Connecting
Connectors enable high power PCBs with a small footprint
Enabling single point power delivery of 150, 200 and 300A in less than one linear inch of a PCB edge, the RadFin power connectors have been released by Amphenol Industrial Products Group. To meet the demand for high power PCBs with a small footprint, the connectors utilise RADSOK contact technology.
Connectors enable RF-tight solutions with 360° shielding
Cable connectors with an integrated shield ring have been released by PROVERTHA, expanding its M12 product portfolio. The connectors, which enable RF-tight solutions with 360° shielding, are suitable for cables with a rigid coating, where crimp solutions cannot be used. The connectors' full shielding also makes them suitable for applications with high EMC demands.
Assemblies & harnesses for optical cabling are customisable
Designed for optical cabling in medical electronic applications such as diagnostic imaging, optical sensors or data and galvanic isolation purpose such as X-ray machines and dental equipment, the fully customisable Plastic Optical Fibre (POF) and Hard Polymer Clad Fibre (HPCF) assemblies and harnesses have been released by Molex.
MicroTCA 1U chassis offers the 'highest' performance density
A rugged 6-slot MicroTCA 1U chassis, claimed to offer the highest performance density on the market, has been introduced by VadaTech. For comparable slots/performance, competing rugged architectures are typically at least 3U high. Featuring a thick aluminium construction and a reinforced cover, the VT950 is particularly rugged.
Modular connectors enable customised solutions
Smiths Connectors has launched a new Transformer Connector Range. The family of high-density modular connectors provides customers with an enhanced ability to tailor interconnect solutions to the demands and requirements of their individual application environments. The connectors target rail applications where extreme pressure is placed on connector technology manufacturers to fulfill critical rail-specific performance challenges of reliability,...
Services address preparation & termination challenges
Preparation and termination of Temp-Flex specialty micro-products to connectors or boards for an end-to-end solution is being offered by Molex. Temp-Flex specialty micro-ribbon cable, micro-coax, primary wires and coils meet the demands from medical device companies for smaller, more reliable high performance solutions. However, these demands have made product preparation and termination challenging, as some wires are finer than a human hair.&nbs...
Cable connectors terminate 26-6AWG in one housing
Rated at 60A per contact, the PwrBlade+ cable connectors have been introduced by FCI. The connectors are capable of terminating the widest range of wires in one housing, 26-6AWG, and come in both cable-to-cable and cable-to-board solutions to meet a wide variety of customer needs.
Polyurethane coating protects against extreme environments
Incorporating effective protection against extreme environmental influences, the Han M Plus range of connectors from HARTING feature an additional polyurethane coating. This coating increases the connectors' impact resistance and also protects them from extreme mechanical and chemical influences.
Connectors combine small size & large current density
Combining small size and large current density, the Nano-Fit and Ultra-Fit power connectors have been released by Molex. These wire-to-board connectors are particularly suitable for consumer/home appliance, networking and telecommunications, industrial, and automotive/commercial vehicle applications.
RF connectors suit high density computing & telecomms
Featuring a compact 3.56mm pitch and delivering a frequency range of DC to 65GHz, SMPM RF Blind-Mate Connectors from Molex are designed for high density computing and telecomms applications. MIL-PRF-39012 compliant, the connectors are suitable for aerospace and defence applications requiring optimal frequency performance.
