Tyco Electronics has added coloured plugs, caps and headers to its existing Universal MATE-N-LOK connector family. A total of nine different colour options are now available, enabling colour coding and different colour schemes in harness and wiring systems. Improving visibility and aesthetics, new coloured MATE-N-LOK connectors meet system colour coding protocols and avoid losing any position as no additional keying component is required.

Han-Quick Lock(r) from HARTING is an innovative termination technology for industrial interconnection which combines reliability and ease of assembly for applications involving high contact densities.

Omnetics has announced that its metal Bi-lobe nano-miniature connectors are now available with patent pending sealed backshells and braided cable shielding to reduce crosstalk and EMI problems in today’s new high density electronic modules.

Omron has further miniaturised its FPC connector portfolio, with the introduction of a new ultra-low profile version that is just 0.5mm thick fully assembled, as well as a solution offering a reduced footprint, based on the smallest ever front-back depth.

New MHF micro coax antenna connectors from connector and component manufacturer GTK include versions with a mating height of just 1.5mm (MHF III) - claimed to be one of the lowest profile connectivity devices on the market. Further benefits include excellent VSWR characteristics, wide operating frequency (DC to 6GHz), low insertion loss and RoHS compliance.

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...

In2Connect has been appointed as the UK partner to SIAM Telecom of Italy who assemble a wide range of RF and Coaxial connectors. SIAM Telecom has been operating for 30 years in the design and supply of interconnection systems for radio frequency fields, coaxial connectors, connectors for fibre optics, the relevant patchcords and pigtails and components such as splitters (combiners) and antennas.

Hypertac’s HyperSpring products combine the company’s high-reliability hyperboloid contact technology, with the mechanical features of a spring-loaded contact, to produce interconnections with improved signal integrity, high reliability and current density, and proven parametric stability over time. Originally designed for semiconductor wafer testing, HyperSpring technology has already found applications in a variety of environments, includin...

Bulgin’s IP68 Waterproof Ethernet Buccaneer family has been extended with two new panel mount versions. Using standard RJ45 connectors these connectors are now available for PCB mounting and IDC termination. The PX0839/PC is designed for direct PCB mounting. The connector is rear-of panel mounting, which in addition to providing an anchor point for the PCB, also allows assembly and, if necessary, testing before fitting to the panel. The conne...

HARTING has added a new power-transmission module to its Han-Modular industrial connector system. The new Han CD module is ideally suited to use with 3-phase motors and servomotors. The Han CD module incorporates three Han C power contacts (rated at 40A each) and four Han D signal contacts (rated at 10 A each), all with crimp termination. It is suitable for power transmission on three-phase motors where additional signal contacts are required - ...
