Robust 0.8mm-pitch board-to-board connectors from JAE Europe feature a strong mating guide structure suitable for rack and panel mounting, and also employ non-pin-type structure to withstand twists caused by mating.

ACAL TC, formerly Townsend-Coates, is the Wokingham based interconnection specialist division of ACAL Technology: a leading value-added distributor providing specialist design-in, sales and marketing services for international suppliers.

ITT Interconnect Solutions has developed a mini connector series specifically designed to withstand high pressure environments of up to five PSI. The connectors, designated the MIKQ IP 68 series, were developed in response to customer requests for a harsh-environment mini-circular connector solution which could fit within the same physical space as standard MIKQ connectors but meet a superior specification and suit such applications as tactical ...

Aerco now supplies the extensive range of Binder circular, power connectors for machine applications. The comprehensive range includes connectors with screw and bayonet locking, a choice of IP40, IP65 or IP67 protection and a range of diameters from 25 to 40mm. Current ratings vary from 3 to 20A and the voltage range is from 60 to 400V.

The VAL-U-LOK connector system from Tyco Electronics is a low-cost, wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connector system with 4.2 x 4.2 mm centreline. This connector system finds use in a variety of applications, including the HVAC, vending, gaming and appliance industries.

A number of new circular connectors have been added to the HARTING range of 7/8” devices: a configuration that is becoming widely used in fieldbus applications.

JAE has introduced the FI-XP connector series for low-profile display interfaces including LVDS and DisplayPort, combining low overall height with enhanced strength to support robust connections to the latest thin LCDs. The insulator and metal shell are optimised for high resilience against pulling and lifting of the cable, to withstand rough handling by equipment installers or end users. A mechanical lock also prevents un-mating due to shock and...

At Southern Electronics 2009, the HARTING Technology Group will be featuring its broad range of electrical and electronics interconnection solutions. The HARTING Technology Group's electronics assembly operation - HARTING Integrated Solutions (HIS) - will also be demonstrating its backplane and sub-assembly capabilities.

Many wireless PC board RF modules use Hirose U.FL or I-PEX MHF miniature connectors. Jumper cables are used to connect the PC board to the device housing or case. RF Connectors, a division of RF Industries, offers the MHF series coax cable jumper.

ITT Interconnect Solutions has developed protection caps for PT/M26482 connectors which can be fitted easily in extreme weather conditions with gloved hands, making them suitable for military vehicles and military communications equipment, as well as non-military applications such as off-road vehicles and commercial electronics in exposed locations.
