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...

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 - ...

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.

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.

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.
