What are modular industrial connectors?
Not to be confused with low-speed communication connectors used in phone and data networks, modular industrial connectors are rugged assemblies that allow different connector modules to be inserted into the connector housing. Power, signal, fiber optic, data, and pneumatic signals can all interface with a machine in one compact connector versus hardwiring with numerous lines and […]
Wire-to-board connectors and terminal blocks
HARTING, Elgin, Ill., has unveiled its new har-flexicon series of discrete wire-to-board connectors and terminal blocks that deliver greater PCB performance and density with robust connectivity. These miniature components offer design and manufacturing flexibility, whatever the termination technology, that make possible a lower all-in cost of the PCB. These har-flexicon SMT (Surface Mount Termination) components for pluggable single conductor wiring […]
