During this year’s show, visitors to the Molex stand (booth 511) will discover all the latest advances and innovations in interconnect design technology. An impressive array of leading-edge products will be on show, as well as the opportunity to speak...

Omnetics has announced that its micro series circular connectors are now available with twist lock metal shells. The locking mechanism requires just a simple quarter turn - similar to the action commonly used in BNC connectors. When combined with a jacketed cable, Omnetics’ new high density circular connectors can be sealed to IP67 ratings.

High-reliability interconnect company Harwin has announced a new size within its commercial Mil-C-5015 connector range, plus the availability of end caps and rubber bushing attachments to suit the entire product family.

A micro connector which can provide one hundred signals in a lightweight and compact package has been developed by leading hi-rel connector company, ITT Interconnect Solutions. The 100 position 1.27mm (0.050in) pitch MDM PCB connector allows for maximum signal density in applications where board space is restricted due to the number and size of other components. Effective EMI shielding is integrated into the connector by means of special back ...

Tyco Electronics has introduced an RJ-45 plug-in connector for Fast and Gigabit Ethernet. Designed for a transmission rate from 100 Mbit/s (4-pin) to 1,000 Mbit/s (8-pin), it is ideal for industrial automation and therefore suitable for Ethernet systems such as SafetyNET p. The plug-in connector is designed with quick-connect technology in accordance with the common core principle, thereby enabling simple, time-saving and yet extremely reliable i...

The PX0799 backshell replaces the existing panel nut, fixing the connector in place, and provides dust and water protection up to IP68 between the panel and the cable at the rear. This allows a through panel seal with waterproof connections both sides of the panel whilst still retaining a re-wireable capability.

Eland has announced a new initiative designed to make the cable buying experience quicker and easier than ever before. The initiative sees the introduction of 3D models to the Eland Cables website (www.eland.co.uk). With computer-generated models covering the company’s entire cable portfolio, visitors to the site will now be able to zoom in on, rotate, and strip back the sheath or outer surface of a selected cable, to help them choose the r...
