Targeting a variety of assembly applications, a broad range of brass hexagonal spacers are available from hi-rel interconnect maker, Harwin, made from free-machined brass with Nickel plating. Able to perform under severe conditions such as high mechanical load, the spacers, also known as pillars or stand-offs, are available in custom variants and are RoHS compliant. Further, the ability to use brass ensures a cost-effective end product with respe...

Aerco now offers, on short lead times, an ideal alternative to more expensively priced push-pull connectors. The Binder 430 is ideal for use in a wide range of applications such as test and measurement equipment, laboratory and analytical equipment and commercial and industrial applications that require connectors with a high specification that are economically priced.

PEI-Genesis, the franchised assembler and distributor of electronic connectors, has expanded its portfolio of Amphenol products to include the CTV series of composite circular connectors, which feature a lightweight design that makes them particularly suitable for use in aerospace applications. Available from PEI-Genesis with an unrivalled 48-hour assembly service, the CTV series can be supplied as either proprietary parts or as fully qualified...

Tyco Electronics has added coloured plugs, caps and headers to its existing Universal MATE-N-LOK connector family. A total of nine different colour options are now available, enabling colour coding and different colour schemes in harness and wiring systems. Improving visibility and aesthetics, new coloured MATE-N-LOK connectors meet system colour coding protocols and avoid losing any position as no additional keying component is required.

Han-Quick Lock(r) from HARTING is an innovative termination technology for industrial interconnection which combines reliability and ease of assembly for applications involving high contact densities.

Omnetics has announced that its metal Bi-lobe nano-miniature connectors are now available with patent pending sealed backshells and braided cable shielding to reduce crosstalk and EMI problems in today’s new high density electronic modules.

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.

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.

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...

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.
