Yamaichi Electronics has introduced Y-Sol for the complete wiring of PV systems for the first time at the intersolar 2008 trade show in Munich. PV module junction boxes for silicon and thin film modules as well as connector and cables ensure reliable operation of the systems for their entire life as well as their highest possible efficiency level. All products are developed and manufactured in Germany.

Yamaichi Electronics now offers power connectors for use in ATCA systems. ATCA (Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture) was initially conceived for telecommunications applications. In the meantime, the system has found applications in the most diverse areas such as, process controlling, image processing, infotainment etc.

Yamaichi Electronics has announced Non-ZIF connector system with pullforce locking mechanism as an alternative to ZIF connectors.

Yamaichi Electronics has introduced a product to its Y-Con industrial connector series, a 90° moulded version of the IP20Lock with RJ45 plug, designed for high vibration environments. The Y-ConIP20Lock-31xx products are cable assemblies moulded together with the proven IP20 locking mechanism which, thanks to the ergonomic locking clips can be handled easily and without the need for tools.

Yamaichi is continuously extending its range of ultra-flat and extremely space-saving card connectors for Flash and SIM cards. After presenting the flattest connector for the micro SD card available on the world market only last spring, the second SIM card connector is now also available in Ultra Low Profile design and with a height of only 1.5 mm (FMS006-5000-0).

The Y-ConJack-31 is a new RJ45 connector jack for PCB with integrated magnetic filter, and LED light pipes for the function display. The jack is particularly suited to industrial applications such as industrial ethernet. The function principle of the integrated magnetic filter module definitely makes a decisive contribution to the signal conditioning, thanks to the galvanic separation (potential separation) and the additional components.

Yamaichi is extending its range of SIM card holders with the FMS008-6000-0 in a Super Low Profile Design. The height is only 1.5 mm. The component is fitted with a switch and comfortable push/push mechanism.

Yamaichi's latest USB stick meets the high protection requirements needed in the industrial sector. The Y-ConUSB-Stick-1 has a USB high-speed interface to USB 2.0 standard and a total storage capacity of 512 MB (up to 2GB on request) and, like the whole Y-Con series, meets the requirements of IP67/68/69K.

Yamaichi Electronics has introduced the QFN 0.5 mm pitch Open Top socket series NP473, NP404 and NP474 for test & burn-in applications. The new open top QFN socket series have a high-reliable fine pitch 0.5 mm contact system and a standard socket scaling. For automated loading the loader change-kit needs not to be replaced for different package sizes which helps to save changeover times and costs. The standard socket size was realized as a simple...

Yamaichi Electronics has introduced its new generation of high speed connectors and cables for data transmission rates of up to 5 Gbps. Internal connections, according to LVDS data transmission standard, HDMI, DVI, PCI-Express or S-ATA standard can be realised with this new connector system.

Yamaichi's Y-Con series is known for its IP69K protection level, and now there is an additional metal cover available which also enhances the mechanical protection should it be required. The Y-ConCover-30 can be retrofitted to existing cable assemblies by simply screwing the two metal covers together. The screws are made from stainless steel, and the robust cover from high-quality die-cast zinc.

Yamaichi is supplementing its range of microSD card connectors with the PJS008-2100 in the super low profile design (microSD previously was named TransFlash card format). This addition means a top-mount version is now available to microSD for the SMT mount on the top side of the PCB assembly.

Yamaichi's new MCH connectors in the series CN084 come in four diverse types. Combining them makes for various line-ups of MCH modules. The connectors serve as adapters between the MicroTCA backplane and the MCH module (MicroTCA carrier hub). Used as a controller card for the AdvancedMC module in MicroTCA applications, MCH also used to be called Virtual Carrier Manager (VCM).

Yamaichi Electronics Deutschland GmbH is one of the 100 best employers among Germany's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) according to this year's nationwide Top Job corporate benchmarking competition. This accolade has been awarded for the past five years to mid-sized firms for their outstanding HR management policies. Wolfgang Clement, Germany's former economics minister presented Yamaichi with the Top Job award last Friday evening at a...
