Industrial connectors protect sensitive electronics
In addition to energy and data, highly automated production plants require the reliable and powerful transmission of signals from measuring, control and regulation devices and systems. Minimal downtimes are a decisive factor in the profitability of production plants, according to engineers at HARTING, Espelkamp, Germany. And unpredictable failures, for example due to negligence, fire or […]
Low profile, removable carriers for male PCB pins and terminals
Mill-Max, the Oyster Bay, N.Y., manufacturer of precision machined interconnects, presents its first male pin carrier using thin Kapton film to create ultra-low-profile interconnects. The development greatly reduces overall connector height and size, reportedly making it ideal for locations where traditional insulator housings can’t be accommodated. This initial offering, according to the company, is an […]

HARTING announces high-voltage connectors for ag equipment
The electrification of agricultural machinery and auxiliary components is becoming increasingly important, according to officials at HARTING AG, Espelkamp, Germany. As a result, in recent years the company has focused its efforts on developing a standardized interface between tractor and attachment. The resulting newly developed AEF high-voltage connections are slated to be presented in various […]
Molex announces MUO 2.5 termination connection
Molex has introduced the MUO 2.5 Termination Connector, designed to replace closed-end (CE) terminals. According to officials at the Lisle, Ill., company, it will not only reduce cable assembly time for OEMs, but also improve reliability and processing time. “Traditional CE terminals can cause wire damage and cannot be disassembled after installation,” said Yujiro Enomoto, […]
Powerful D-subs from In2Connect
D-sub connectors were arguably the first and most widely established in/out (I/O) interface connector, according to officials at In2Connect UK Ltd., based in Ropley, Hampshire. The connectors are so-called because of their trapezoidal (vaguely “D” shaped) shell which provides mechanical protection, shielding and built-in polarization when mating male to female, whether cable-end or panel mounted. […]
Panel-mount Adapter Cables let USB 3.0 connections pass through enclosures
Global Connectivity announced today that it has introduced a new series of USB 3.0, ECF-style, panel mount, USB adapter cables for use with data storage, data acquisition, and test and measurement applications. These new adapter cables allow USB 3.0 connections to be passed through panels or enclosures by utilizing L-com’s unique ECF flange design. These […]
