Electronic circuits use zero-ohm jumpers to simplify routing, manufacturability, testing, and enable various design options. Jumpers with higher current capability allow for a smaller jumper chip to be used, which can reduce the space needed for a design. Traditional thick film jumpers handle up to 3 amps, while high-current versions max out at 10 amps. […]

Heavy-duty sealed connector series suits growing density and power demands
As density and power demands increase within the industrial and commercial transportation industry, TE Connectivity has expanded its Heavy-Duty Sealed Connector series to include more than half a dozen new products. With these new additions, there are now six different connector sizes, 23 different standard configurations and seven fixing slides for different panel thickness in […]
Test show connectors operate at increased current
Test show a temperature rise of 30°C for current up to 8.5 A per pin.
High-power connectors from LEMO are IP68 and Mil-tested
LEMO has expanded its field-proven M series portfolio with new configurations for high power requirements. These compact and light designs are vibration proof, reliable, safe and IP68 and Mil tested. They combine the robust, light & compact M series bodies with new state-of-the-art gold-plated high power contacts. Accommodating cables from 10 mm² (AWG 8) to […]
Reliable high-power management for harsh environments
There are several options when it comes to terminating wires for rectangular connectors. Axial screw termination is one of the most common methods in the industry. This method is suitable for field installation or maintenance because not only is the connection stable and secure, but also either a common slot screwdriver or hex tool is […]
Four types of connectors for robots and drones
Many power and signal connectors are used in robot and drone sub-systems, such as sensors, motion, high-speed wired and wireless communications, and more. As industry 4.0 continues to unfold, more robots and more types of robots are being found in factories, warehouses, and other facilities to increase quality and efficiencies and reduce costs. Robots and […]
Hirose increases power rating of space-saving hybrid FPC/FFC connector
Hirose has developed a new hybrid flexible printed circuit (FPC) / flat flexible connector (FFC) that offers significant space-savings compared to competing products with the same permissible current. With a combination of power contacts capable of handling 12 and 0.5 A signal contacts, the TF43SW Series hybrid connector features a height of only 1.2 mm, […]
Unmanned power connector meets the needs of signal and power for UAVs and commercial drones
TE Connectivity recognized the critical need for a reliable and durable connector which can balance both signal and power capabilities for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). TE’s newly launched Unmanned Power (UMP) connector offers up to 80 A per contact and is available as a power or mixed signal/power connector. The growth of UAV usage in […]
Rugged connector line now includes USB Type C 3.2, 2×2 options
Bulgin has now expanded its popular Buccaneer range of robust connector solutions through the addition of USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2×2 options. The 4000 Series connectors have a USB-C 2×12 contact arrangement. They are capable of supporting 20Gbps data rates when used in conjunction with 1m length cables (and 10Gbps with 2m cables). These components […]
API Tech launches power filter in circular connector package
APITech (API Technologies Corp.) has added a power connector to its filtered circular connectors line of electromagnetic interference (EMI) products. It provides integrated common mode and differential mode EMI filtering in a single connector package. This can replace traditional large box power entry filters, delivering similar performance in a smaller package, and can easily mate […]
