Push-pull D-sub connector housings: What took so long?
Harting introduces push-on, push-off hardware that saves time when connecting and disconnecting D-Sub connectors.
What connectors and interconnects are used in pacemakers and ICDs?
Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are small, battery-powered devices implanted under the skin to manage abnormal heart rhythms. Pacemakers deliver low-energy electrical impulses to treat bradycardia, while ICDs monitor life-threatening arrhythmias and deliver controlled, high-energy shocks. Despite their functional differences, both devices rely on specialized connectors and interconnects to ensure safe, long-term performance. This […]
Connector lines pass severe tests
Samtec, Inc. has announced the addition of two product lines that meet or exceed Severe Environment Testing (SET) qualification standards. The most recent SET additions are URSA I/O ultra-rugged cable assembly systems and 1.27 mm Tiger Eye cable-to-board systems. SET is a Samtec initiative to test certain products beyond typical industry standards and specifications for […]
Second sources mitigate supply issues
Samtec now second-sources its Si-Fly HD co-packaged and near-chip systems through a licensing agreement with Molex. It’s not the first time the two companies have been second sources. Having a second source for critical components can save the day. That’s even more important today given supply-chain disruptions of raw materials. For basic devices such as […]
