Intelliconnect (Europe) Ltd, the UK based specialist manufacturer of RF connectors, is continuing to expand their cable assembly service. Having seen considerable business growth since its launch 18 months ago the operation is relocating to a new facility in Corby and investing in additional production equipment.

C&K Components, a supplier of tact switches, toggle and rocker switches, and smart card interconnect devices, has developed a series of surface mount jumper DIP switches that are sealed with a removable top tape to enable them to be used in reflow soldering and washable assembly processes.

Molex Incorporated has launched its new SlimStack SSB6 SMT microminiature board-to-board connectors. With compact mated dimensions of 0.35mm pitch, 0.60mm height by 2.00mm width, the SlimStack SSB6 connectors are suitable for saving space in the compact packaging of smartphones and other portable mobile devices, as well as a wide range of surgical, therapeutic and monitoring medical devices.

GradConn has launched a new range of low cost co-axial test probe cable assemblies for the inspection of high frequency circuits. Suitable for testing Hirose MS-156 and Murata MM8030 sub miniature coaxial switch connectors, the new probes offer reliable testing of RF circuits from development thru to final production. For Hirose PCB connectors the test probe cable assemblies have a mating test cycle durability of 500 operations and 2,000 with Murata.

Hirose has unveiled a new high-speed transmission series of shielded connectors. Supporting the automotive industry's most commonly used standards, USB2.0, IEEE1394, LVDS and GVIF signals, the GT17H/HN Series connectors have an advanced shielding structure for 360° EMI protection and low near-end crosstalk (NEXT).

Molex Incorporated has introduced the Impel backplane connector system for use with Molex’s Backplane Pin Map Configurator. This future-proof connector solution provides equipment manufacturers with the ability to have systems operate at today’s data-rates and costs, while providing a migration path for enhancements in the same chassis through Impel daughtercard options.

Anderson Power Products is pleased to announce an expansion of the Mid Power SPEC Pak connector family. The product is now available with a first mate, last break ground contact capable of accepting 6 to 10 awg (13.3 mm² to 5.3 mm²) wire making the Mid Power SPEC Pak suitable for 3 phase, 4 wire configurations up to 600 VAC and 80 amps.

The new Han Ex range of connectors from HARTING has been designed to meet the requirements for the implementation of high-quality connectivity solutions in application areas with explosion protection requirements. This includes applications in mining and the chemical and process automation industries.

Binder has introduced a new range of panel mount connectors to its extensive, M12, A-coded products that incorporates a shielding sheet that transfers the screen from the connector body to the PCB thus providing a high level of EMC.

Molex Incorporated has unveiled a new MXP120 Sealed Connector System – a 4.00mm pitch high-performance connection system based on 1.20mm terminals for automotive and commercial vehicle in-line harness applications.
