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.
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 […]
Connector portfolio operates from 12 V to 48 V
TE Connectivity has developed the HALVONEX connectors portfolio, a system of high-performing headers, connectors, and accessories that provide advanced mechanical, vibration, and sealing performance. Positioned between low-voltage, low-power connectors and high-voltage, high-power connectors, HALVONEX connectors help enable excellent electrical conductivity and are capable of handling high-current loads and low-voltage currents, typically in the range of 12 […]
Compact overmolded design reduces connector length for space-constrained systems
LEMO has introduced the OPTIMA D Series, a miniature connector platform designed for defense, aerospace, and other mission-critical systems. The connectors combine a reduced form factor with rugged construction, offering reliable performance in applications such as tactical communications, UAVs, avionics, and soldier-worn equipment.
