Kyocera expanded its line of wire-to-board connectors with the release of the new UL-approved 9296-400 Series 4mm-pitch horizontal poke-home connectors. The new 9296-400 Series connectors are designed to enable the quick, easy, cost-effective, and reliable board termination of discrete 18–26AWG solid or stranded wires or 1mm-diameter jumper pins in a broad range of industrial and commercial applications. The […]
Reliable high-power management for harsh environments
There are several options when it comes to terminating wires for rectangular connectors. Axial screw termination is one of the most common methods in the industry. This method is suitable for field installation or maintenance because not only is the connection stable and secure, but also either a common slot screwdriver or hex tool is […]
Mil-spec connectors can be adapted for commercial applications
Cinch Connectivity Systems announced the expansion of the Mil/Aero Circular MD801 Series. The Mil/Aero Circular MD801 is a lightweight, ultraminiature connector with small form factors and high-density capabilities, ideal for aerospace, military, and other harsh environment applications. With the features meeting Military Standard (MIL-SPEC) classifications, this product can also be adapted to accommodate commercial applications. Additional […]
A complete guide to modular connectors
First developed in the 1960s and becoming more publicly available in the early 1970s, modular connectors were born out of necessity to provide a more simple, “modular” interconnection system for phone systems, data networks, and low-speed serial connections. During that same timeframe, the FCC developed a registration system for modular connectors, known as Registered Jacks […]
Terminal with multi-spring pin and terminals designed for aluminum magnet wire
Heilind Electronics and TE Connectivity have introduced the MAG-MATE terminal with multi-spring pin and SIAMEZE terminals for aluminum magnet wire. The new termination solutions are specifically designed to facilitate the market trend of replacing copper magnet wire with aluminum magnet wire – thus reducing material costs. The multi-spring pin design improves operating efficiency by providing […]
Rugged connector line now includes USB Type C 3.2, 2×2 options
Bulgin has now expanded its popular Buccaneer range of robust connector solutions through the addition of USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2×2 options. The 4000 Series connectors have a USB-C 2×12 contact arrangement. They are capable of supporting 20Gbps data rates when used in conjunction with 1m length cables (and 10Gbps with 2m cables). These components […]
Rectangular enclosures protect sensitive signs from external EMC signals
Advanced automation systems are required to continuously process large amounts of sensitive data/signals to operate machines while reducing errors. However, the data/signal on the manufacturing floor has been exposed to various problems associated with electromagnetic noise made from surrounding electrical or electric machines. When electromagnetic noise is added to electronic devices from the outside, unintended […]
Micro-miniature connectors offer VSWR of 1.4 for high-frequency apps
Samtec now offers a full line of SMPM solutions with a maximum VSWR of 1.40 and frequency range of DC to 65 GHz. SMPM micro-miniature connectors are ideal in high-frequency applications where push-on coupling is preferred due to space limitations or blind-mate is required. Single-port and multi-port solutions are available. Multi-port ganged cable assemblies (GC47 & GPPC Series) […]
Flex-to-board RF mmWave connectors meet high-speed 5G needs
The Molex Flex-to-Board RF mmWave Connector 5G25 series to meet demanding 5G mmWave applications requiring stringent signal integrity at higher frequencies up to 25 GHz. This latest Molex micro connector enables manufacturers of RF antenna modules as well as designers of mobile devices to optimize high-speed 5G components while alleviating space constraints on extremely small yet […]
Precision RF connectors support 65 GHz applications
Samtec has released a family of SMPM products designed to support the demands of emerging technologies where space is limited and a high operating frequency up to 65 GHz is required. Samtec offers ganged, multi-port solutions in both cable-to-board and board-to-board applications. Standard SMPM connectors with bullet adaptors, and cable assemblies using .047″ and .086″ cable, are […]
