The hypothesis of SPE, RJ45, and the open need for clarification of mating faces
Contributed by Rainer Schmidt, Business Development Manager, Cable Systems, Harting Electronics Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) was developed for one reason only. It was meant to close the last big gap in a TCP/IP oriented network world – the gap between classic IT and sensor technology, which is becoming more and more important. Thus SPE is […]
FPC assemblies require less headroom, allow PCBs to be more densely packed
Harwin now offers both its Datamate J-Tek and Gecko high-reliability connectors with flexible printed circuits (FPCs) attached for situations where there is little space above the board surface. Highly suited to aerospace, motorsport, satellite and defense installations, these FPC assemblies provide engineers with lower profile interconnect solutions. This means that the PCBs within a system […]
