Cables/Connecting

The new 9175 connector from passive and connectors specialist AVX’s Elco Europe Division, now added to the portfolio of TTI, Inc., allows users to easily connect individual wires to a single row of contacts using IDC technology. Currently available as 2-and 3-way IDC connectors, the device is both low-profile (3.45mm) with a small PCB footprint (2 way: 5.0x2.5mm, 3 way: 7.5x2.5mm), saving precious space on PCBs. A dedicated single-wire insertio...

Newly available from connector and component manufacturer GTK is a series of PoweredUSB cable assemblies designed for both power and signal applications. PoweredUSB connection systems provide a single cable connection that supplies both the standard USB communication signals and two additional wire pairs for extra power. One of the limitations of standard USB is the amount of +5V current available to supply attached peripherals. This is sufficien...

HARTING has introduced a compliant pin version of its SEK (insulation-displacement connection) latched PCB header series for flat cable applications. Designed around standard 2.54 mm x 2.54 mm (0.100 x 0.100 inch) dimensions, the product range includes all standard sizes from 10 to 64 contacts with straight 4.5 mm compliant pins for a PCB thickness from 1.6 mm up to 3.2 mm.

JAE Europe has introduced the IL-WX series of surface mount board-to-board connectors, permitting 4.5mm board spacing for space-constrained products such as precision instrumentation, office equipment and consumer medical devices.

A rugged connector for entertainment lighting applications, the VEAM VSC Series from ITT is a threaded coupling, 19-pin, cylindrical connector. Emphasizing quality and durability, the connectors are sealed to IP 67 when mated, have a black, hard anodized, non-conductive finish for scratch and wear resistance, and feature a heavy-duty, ribbed coupling nut to provide easy mating and un-mating.

Omnetics now has available a full range of Micro-Latch connectors featuring contacts that have been tested to and pass requirements as laid down by MIL-DTL 83513. Featuring housings made of high temperature liquid crystal polymer, the devices save space and weight in critical applications including military and defence, medical and oil and gas.

The new revision of the Tyco Electronics ‘Preferred Parts Catalogue – Interconnection’, has just been released. Featuring over 500 new products, the catalogue builds on the success of the original issue, highlighting the preferred interconnection products from Tyco Electronics in a customer friendly format, with selection of products by style or application.

ITT’s VEAM Snaplock single pole power connectors will be highlighted on Farnell’s main website before it enters the main catalogue in 2008. Snaplock family connectors take up to 250 Amps and are 30% smaller than VEAM’s Powerlock connectors which are rated at up to 660A. Both families have a similar connection band, giving minimal power loss over 500 mating cycles.

Omron has released a new Tap Case package and additional fibre assembly options, extending the mounting options for CWDM (coarse wave division multiplexing) multiplexers in fibre-to-the-node and fibre-to-the-home applications.

The new universal Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) adapter from Molex gives users the ability to change one half of the optical interface to suit specific applications, while maintaining all functionality and performance benefits of a standard optical adapter.
