Cables/Connecting

Availability of UHF connectors for LDF4-50A ½ inch Andrew Heliax cable was limited to the secondary market when manufacturing ceased several years ago. RF Connectors division of RF Industries has released UHF male and UHF female connectors for LDF4-50A ½ inch cable to fill that need. These connectors utilize the same installation process and tooling required for the discontinued connectors.

Molex has introduced the Stac64 connection system, which provides single and multi-pocket PCB solutions to offer a diverse range of circuit sizes and greatly reduce time-to-market by completely eliminating custom tooling.

HARTING has extended its Han HC 650 range of heavy-duty connectors with a new crimp version that can accommodate cables of up to 240 mm² cross-section.

Tyco Electronics has announced a high-current, printed-circuit board edge connector with a current rating of 160 amps per linear inch—which represents a 30 percent increase in current density of compared to existing power edge connectors. The SEC-II power connector is an improved version of the existing SEC line, offering improvements in contact design for efficient current transfer and a ventilated housing to keep contacts cool.

The Pintail range provides low-cost, weather tight standard interconnection for industrial and marine applications: an indoor/outdoor interconnect system that offers the performance and reliability of MIL threaded connectors at the cost of a commercial (COTS) product. The SP13 (panel mounting hole size 13mm) and SP21 (21mm) Series of multi-pin, threaded coupling connectors are able to withstand the requirements of IP68 when mated and will work re...

Spectrum Advanced Specialty Products, formerly Spectrum Control Signal & Power integrity Group, has added a new design to its standard MIL-DTL-55116 capacitive filtered audio connectors. The new design offers ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection up to 8kV direct discharge and 15kV air discharge. Custom designs addressing other discharge requirements are available. These EMI filtered/ESD protected connectors are ideal for aviation, communicati...

ITT Interconnect Solutions has shrunk the size and reduced the weight of its circular interconnection components, while still maintaining their reliability and performance in tough environments. The new, compact Trinity MKJ connectors are better prepared to deal with the demands of high-end system designs, such as those used in medical, military, space and industrial scenarios.

The MCM series of terminal blocks from SAURO allow a high current rating (16A / 750V) by means of a contact spring wiring system. This product maintains a tightening force which is comparable to the rising clamp. Moreover, by using a contact spring system wiring can be carried out quickly and it is not affected by vibrations. It is possible to use rigid or flexible wires with ferrules, but flexible wires without ferrules can also be used by press...

Just announced by Aspen Electronics is the SMK range of high performance cable connectors for microwave applications, designed and built by Delta Electronics Manufacturing. These 2.92mm connectors are aimed at a wide range of industries developing applications requiring frequency coverage up to 40GHz, including defence, aerospace, high speed mobile and fixed line telecommunications systems and general test and instrumentation applications.

Molex and Neoconix have developed a flexible copper high-density and speed (HD&S) interposer in a tool-less, easy-to-use configuration. Available now, Molex’s FlexBeam Tool-Less Copper Flex Interposer is a low-profile, flex-to-board interface that provides densities of 1.00mm (.039”) or less in a variety of pin-matrix configurations. The combination of Molex’s high speed copper flex assembly integrated with Neoconix’s ...
