Light, compact SMT D-Sub connectors designed for space
C&K has launched space-grade D-Subminiature surface mount termination (SMT) range of electrical connectors. The new SMT D-Sub connectors under CS-FR053 specification are primarily intended for aerospace engineering applications such as developing communication and network ports for satellites, spacecraft and launchers. Reducing weight and making space savings on PCBs are critical requirements for connectors in space […]
Heilind Electronics now stocking Amphenol industrial ePower connectors
Heilind Electronics is now stocking the manufacturer’s ePower series of connectors. Featuring IP67-level sealing, these environmental connectors are designed for hybrid electric vehicles and other demanding electrical systems. ePower connectors incorporate RADSOK technology for higher amperage, lower T-rise, less resistance and reduced mating force. Each connector features a 500 to 1,000 VDC rating and accommodates currents […]
ERFV RF coax connectors from enable 5G wireless designs
TE Connectivity has introduced its new ERFV RF coax connectors for 5G wireless applications. The new solutions are being showcased in an active antenna display at TE’s booth (Hall 82, Booth 225) at the Electronica this week in Munich. Future 5G wireless equipment designs will require a new level of highly reliable and customizable components, […]
High-frequency nanominiature contact for embedded computing
TE Connectivity has released its new NanoRF modules and contacts, which double the density of today’s VITA 67 RF modules for VPX embedded computing applications. This high-frequency nanominiature coax contact is engineered with smaller contacts and a higher RF contact density within a multi-position module. This design enables smaller packaging and saves valuable space. Half-size […]
Connectors from ERNI are designed for industrial automation and control
ERNI has expanded its SMC series connector and cable assembly offering to support a wide range of industrial applications. The family of dual row SMC small form 1.27 mm [0.050 in.] pitch connectors is more popular than ever due to multiple connector configuration options. Supporting both board-to-board and wire-to-board applications in the same connector series, […]
SOURIAU invests in R&D for new manufacturing processes
The European REACH regulation, which aims to ensure a high level of protection for human health and the environment, imposes strict rules on the use of chemical substances. Hexavalent chromium used in the surface treatment of numerous SOURIAU products is one of the prohibited substances. With the desire to keep its technical leadership in connectors for harsh environments […]
M5 shielded cable connectors from Binder designed for miniature sensors
M5 shielded and overmolded cable connectors are part of binder USA’s 707 series, developed for the miniature sensor market. M5 cable connectors are available with 3 or 4 intermateable contacts and PUR cable lengths of 2 and 5 m. They have 360° shielding with non-disrupted data transfer due to screening attenuation values from 60 dB in […]
ix industrial Ethernet connector, miniature replacement for RJ45 designs
The RJ45 connector has been the standard Ethernet interface in IP20 environments for many years. However, as the demand for smaller devices and sensors increases, the RJ45’s size limits the potential for miniaturization. This is why HARTING developed the ix Industrial Ethernet connector, which is a smaller and more rugged connector than the standard RJ45. […]
