Harwin has announced that a comprehensive range of turret lugs - used in many applications to provide a strong, reliable wire to board connection – are detailed in its catalogue and website. Turret lugs - also known as turret pins or terminals - are firmly attached to the PCB usually by riveting and soldering them through a hole in the PCB.

Tyco Electronics has introduced a sterilisable Medical CPC connector for use in applications such as surgical power instruments, RF and ultrasound ablation and EP monitors used in the operating room. Available with 5, 6, 7 or 10 contact positions, the devices are very cost-effective and benefit from a robust self-latching mechanism which is secure under axial and torsional loads.

Reducing installation time and providing a vibration resistant connection are Hongfa screwless sockets available from Switchtec. The sockets are a boon to panel builders who are constantly striving to reduce production time whilst improving performance and adding value. Aimed at panel builders, OEMs, CEMs, equipment manufacturers and machine builders, the sockets are designed to be used with Hongfa’s popular HF115F and HF18FH plug in relays, a...

JAE Europe has launched the MM60 PCI Express Mini Card connector system, which provides secure retention for the whole card. Two versions are available, with or without stand-off, to support a wide variety of functional modules including embedded industrial PCs or wireless adapters using the Mini Card format. The stand-off version supports modules with underside-mounted components up to 1.8mm maximum profile.

New from Aerco is the Deutsch Quick Connect (QC) range of circular connectors that provides the ideal solution for users requiring a cost effective, rugged, quick-latch connector for use in demanding environments. The QC range is made from Ultem, a high temperature, corrosion resistant, composite material allowing the connectors to operate under the toughest conditions.

TTI, the authorized specialist distributor of passive, connector and electromechanical components offers the Molex Picoflex family of 1.27 mm (0.50 inch) pitch wire-to-board Insulation Displacement Technology (IDT) receptacles, PCB headers and standard ribbon-cable assemblies. This wide range of products delivers a high degree of flexibility and variety for design engineers looking at high-density interconnect applications.

Leading cable solutions provider, Lapp Ltd, has developed a new version of its innovative Skintop cable gland which offers a quick and reliable alternative to the traditional 'spring' contact method. The Skintop MS-SC-M incorporates a unique brush connecting system for use with larger diameter cables such as those used in industrial applications including control cabinet construction, engine and tool building, conveyor systems and the automotive,...

PEI-Genesis has added Amphenol’s 62GB series of miniature bayonet-lock connectors to its stock profile and is now offering them with the company’s standard 48-hour assembly service. Designed to provide a robust, high-density interface, the connectors are ideal for use on military communications equipment and for applications in demanding industrial environments.

The new Han Q2/0 connector from HARTING is a two-pole device designed for single-phase decentralised power-supply applications requiring currents of up to 40 A. Decentralised power supplies based on photovoltaic generation have attracted interest as a means of providing renewable energy in applications such as lighting, signalling and telecommunications. Unlike traditional power-transmission architectures, these systems typically require two-wire...

Tyco Electronics has expanded its range of lightweight, small diameter C-Lite cables with a version designed for use in high risk and safety critical environments. C-Lite FR cables feature all performance characteristics of the standard C-Lite cable range with the added ability of maintaining circuit integrity for 2 hours during a 1000 degrees Celsius fire (as defined by IEC60331). Prototype samples actually survived the fire for 8 hours.
