Corrosion resistant cable assemblies with IP68 and IP69K protection
Designed to withstand extremely harsh environments, Nautilus cable assemblies with stainless steel (303) SMA connectors offer peak performance against corrosion. They are rated to IP67, IP68 and, for the first time in the Nautilus range, IP69K for high pressure and high temperature washdown protection.
Range of assemblies featuring MHF options expanded
GradConn expands its range of assemblies featuring MHF options to include the secure MHF 4L LK and MHF 5L micro connectors for use on standard and Nautilus waterproof coaxial cable assemblies. The MHF 4L LK connector is a durable option for customers where connection integrity is essential.
Nautilus connector caps provide ingress protection
GradConn's Nautilus range of IP rated coaxial cable assemblies and connectors is now available with optional connector cap accessories, adding further protection levels and are well suited for connections that predominantly stay unmated for extended periods. The new IP67 rated caps help prevent the build-up of moisture, dust, and dirt collecting in the connector's mating face.
Find the right angle for waterproof coaxial connections
To further expand its range of higher frequency IP Rated cable assemblies, GradConn has introduced new 6GHz right-angle SMA connectors to the Nautilus product line up. This gives engineers even more options when looking for water and dustproof coaxial connections in their designs, with new 6GHz capabilities catering for the latest technology trends such as 5G and IoT applications.
SMA connection extended - environmental testing complete
To demonstrate a high level of environmental protection, GradConn has set out to discover how its Nautilus IP rated coaxial and SMA connectors and assemblies performed over an extended period out in the field, subject to different environment conditions.
GradConn’s vertical PCB mount IP68 coaxial connectors
GradConn adds two vertical PCB mount variants to its Nautilus range of IP68 rated coaxial connectors. This complements the company’s comprehensive range of Nautilus IP rated cable assemblies, further establishing GradConn as the leading choice for dust and waterproof coaxial applications.
Reaching new heights with vertical PCB mount IP68 coaxial connectors
It has been announced that GradConn has added two vertical PCB mount variants to its Nautilus range of IP68 rated coaxial connectors. This complements the company’s range of Nautilus IP rated cable assemblies. The new SMA type vertical PCB mount Nautilus connectors are well suited for compact designs.
Waterproof coaxial cable assemblies offer protection to IP67 & IP68
GradConn has recently announced the release of a range of Nautilus panel mounted waterproof coaxial cable assemblies which offer IP67 & IP68 protection from moisture and particle ingress mated and unmated. Working in conjunction with customers, GradConn developed a range of waterproof interface connectors with internal seal and O-Ring, which prevents ingress thru the inner contact and thru the panel.
1.2mm wire-to-board connectors suit space-constrained PCBs
GradConn’s 1.20mm pitch wire to board range offers low profile mated height of 1.45mm above the PCB and its mating orientation makes it suitable for applications where space is at a premium. Available in 2-6 positions, horizontal PCB headers are polarised to avoid mis-mating, housings and headers are plugged together from above, which is easier for operators and allows mating in applications where a traditional end-to-end mating may no...
Nano SIM connector targets 4FF SIM cards
The demands for connectivity between devices and the desire for slimmer, lighter and more portable products is driving the connector industry at a pace to offer smaller solutions. For this reason GradConn is continually tested by its customers to evolve interconnectivity products that can meet the challenges of today’s connected world head on.
SIM connector designed for the 4FF Nano SIM card
A Nano SIM connector, which is particularly suitable for hand held or wearable devices where space is limited, has been introduced by Gradconn. Measuring 12.3x10.0mm, the CH03-KA six-contact, push-pull connector is the company’s smallest SIM product. The device is designed for the 4FF Nano SIM card, which is currently the smallest SIM available, measuring 12.3x8.8mm.
Division created in response to home automation demand
A division has been established by GradConn in response to the growing demand of home automation. Staffed by experts in the field of interconnect solutions for home automation, the new division offers a wealth of solutions from the GradConn range including micro SIM connectors, co-axial cable assemblies and board to board connectors.
Fine pitch wire to board solutions save space
GradConn’s new fine pitch wire to board range of solutions are suitable for any application where space is at a premium such as Laptop PCs, tablets, video cameras and portable GPS systems. The new 0.8 and 1.00mm pitch wire to board range offer tiny PCB footprints and low profile mounted heights.
