Omron shrinks FPC connectors
Omron has further miniaturised its FPC connector portfolio, with the introduction of a new ultra-low profile version that is just 0.5mm thick fully assembled, as well as a solution offering a reduced footprint, based on the smallest ever front-back depth.
Micro coax antenna connector has 1.5mm mated height
New MHF micro coax antenna connectors from connector and component manufacturer GTK include versions with a mating height of just 1.5mm (MHF III) - claimed to be one of the lowest profile connectivity devices on the market. Further benefits include excellent VSWR characteristics, wide operating frequency (DC to 6GHz), low insertion loss and RoHS compliance.
QFN 0.5 mm Pitch Test & Burn-In Sockets
Yamaichi Electronics has introduced the QFN 0.5 mm pitch Open Top socket series NP473, NP404 and NP474 for test & burn-in applications. The new open top QFN socket series have a high-reliable fine pitch 0.5 mm contact system and a standard socket scaling. For automated loading the loader change-kit needs not to be replaced for different package sizes which helps to save changeover times and costs. The standard socket size was realized as a simple...
New UK source for bulk RF and coaxial connectors and cables
In2Connect has been appointed as the UK partner to SIAM Telecom of Italy who assemble a wide range of RF and Coaxial connectors. SIAM Telecom has been operating for 30 years in the design and supply of interconnection systems for radio frequency fields, coaxial connectors, connectors for fibre optics, the relevant patchcords and pigtails and components such as splitters (combiners) and antennas.
Spring-loaded contact produces interconnections with improved signal integrity,
Hypertac’s HyperSpring products combine the company’s high-reliability hyperboloid contact technology, with the mechanical features of a spring-loaded contact, to produce interconnections with improved signal integrity, high reliability and current density, and proven parametric stability over time. Originally designed for semiconductor wafer testing, HyperSpring technology has already found applications in a variety of environments, includin...
Waterproof Ethernet connectors for IDC and PC mounting
Bulgin’s IP68 Waterproof Ethernet Buccaneer family has been extended with two new panel mount versions. Using standard RJ45 connectors these connectors are now available for PCB mounting and IDC termination. The PX0839/PC is designed for direct PCB mounting. The connector is rear-of panel mounting, which in addition to providing an anchor point for the PCB, also allows assembly and, if necessary, testing before fitting to the panel. The conne...
Connector module for power transmission in motor applications
HARTING has added a new power-transmission module to its Han-Modular industrial connector system. The new Han CD module is ideally suited to use with 3-phase motors and servomotors. The Han CD module incorporates three Han C power contacts (rated at 40A each) and four Han D signal contacts (rated at 10 A each), all with crimp termination. It is suitable for power transmission on three-phase motors where additional signal contacts are required - ...
Complete marine connector solution from Aerco
Aerco now offers a comprehensive selection of connector backshells to fit the full range of marine bronze D38999 type connectors providing engineers, designers and buyers the option of a complete interconnect solution from a single source with parts available either from stock or on short lead time.
Independent universal SMT contact from ITT Electronic Components replaces traditional interfaces
The new series of Universal Contacts, recently released by ITT Electronic Components, is an independent range of SMT contacts, providing an electrical connection between a device and a PCB. Manufactured as a single piece stamped product, incorporating pre-load and anti-lift features, new Universal Contacts have been designed to replace traditional interfaces where the contact is custom designed into the component.
3mm signal/power connector is capable of carrying currents of up to 5A
Newly available from connector and component manufacturer GTK is a series of 3mm pitch connectors designed for high current/high density applications which require the design flexibility of wire-to-wire and wire-to-board configurations. Capable of carrying currents of up to 5A max and with a 10mΩ contact resistance, the new MPC series connectors are suitable for both power and signal applications.
