Electromechanics catalogue 2023 from Würth Elektronik

The catalogue contains 65 pages with innovations from the areas of connection and assembly technology as well as switches and buttons. The manufacturer dedicates a chapter to the REDCUBE high-power contacts. Thanks to press-fit technology, they are particularly robust and vibration-resistant. All products in the catalogue can be ordered from stock without a minimum order quantity. Developers can receive free samples on request.

The new catalogue clearly shows the various options for connecting PCBs with one another or with cables. A highlight in the 2023 catalogue is the M12 circular connectors with screw locking and IP67 or IP68 protection for data lines in industrial automation equipment. The coaxial connectors also include an interesting new arrival: various N-type coaxial connectors to the MIL-STD-348 standard for particularly rugged applications. Among the switches, a new toggle switch family catches the eye—with a current carrying capacity of 1A, rated voltage of 30V and ESD compliance with IEC 61000-4-2.

REDFIT CRIMP is a particularly stable yet reversible connection for up to 16A and 400V. This PCB connector uses Würth Elektronik patented SKEDD technology. A positioning pin allows a non-rotating connection to the PCB by hand and without a mating connector.
