Hypertac has announced a ruggedised contact system to transmit high-speed Ethernet signals in harsh environment applications such as railway, military and industrial markets.

Hypertac has developed a new generation of couplers for the rail industry to manage the increasing volume of data transmissions between a train’s different electronic systems. This includes passenger information, entertainment systems, on-board computers, heating, air-conditioning and safety equipment.

Hypertac has created an integrated function interconnect system to meet the unique requirements of the rail transport industry worldwide. The integrated function systems enable simple maintenance, reduce integration and testing times and deliver efficient logistics management.

The popular range of FCT waterproof hoods for ‘D’ type connectors from Quadrant has been expanded to fit all connector sizes. These hoods offer an effective and low-cost alternative to the normal method of waterproofing ‘D’ types that involves using a waterproof connector and hood.

Leading hi-rel connector company, ITT Interconnect Solutions, has developed an extremely high-density connector with more than double the 128 size 22D contacts found in a standard Mil-DTL 38999 connector. The new KJA 300 series accommodates 300 size 22D contacts in a single connector - the highest density layout available in ITT’s circular product line.

HARTING has extended its range of interconnection solutions with the introduction of several new standard and customer-specific cables and cable assemblies.

Omnetics has announced its new Circular Nano series - one of the smallest circular connector families available today that uses a mil quality contact system. With a total mated length of 9.0mm and outer diameters ranging from 3.1mm (0.122”) to 5.5mm (0.217”), these small connectors provide a rugged and reliable solution in the harshest of operating environments, making them ideal for medical, military and aerospace applications.

The latest addition to Bulgin’s large range of battery holders is an open frame style for CR123A size cells. First designed for equipment requiring extended life in high drain applications such as LED torches, film cameras and digital cameras, the characteristics of this high power, light weight cell make it an ideal choice for applications such as Zigbee where space could be at a premium and extended life with a distinct requirement for sleepy...

ITT Interconnect Solutions has developed a stacking power interconnect unit which eliminates multiple proprietary power and signal cable connectors by integrating them into a single stackable unit. Originally developed for a commercial customer, the stacking power interconnect streamlines product appearance, provides superior power and signal handling performance and is more cost-effective than separate connectors.

New from Aerco is the HDLP range of low profile, high density, rectangular PCB connectors from Hypertac that is designed for use in applications where small, low mating force connectors with low and stable contact resistance are required.
