Roy Philips, Managing Director of Intelliconnect (Europe), commented: “We are pleased and proud that our industry peers have voted our new 2.9mm solderless connector series Interconnection Product of the Year for 2018. This new connector offers our customers an exciting alternative for assembling connectors to 0.085"(RG405) and 0.141" cables with no loss in performance or reliability. Solderless assembly speeds manufacture and facilitates field replacement in the event of wear or damage to the connector.”

The cost effective 2.9mm connectors provide solderless attachment to 0.085" (RG405) and 0.141" cables. System designers will find the main advantages of these connectors are faster assembly time, repeatability and performance and they also provide field replaceable connectivity.
