Molex Incorporated has launched a new high-performance connector system that has been designed specifically to enable PCB developers in the video, commercial broadcast and telecommunications industries to transfer multiple RF signals across mated boards in a single assembly while taking into consideration space constraints.

Harting has unveiled the latest addition to its family of connectors. Targeted at out-door applications the Han-Eco Outdoor connector"s housing, which is based on a robust high-performance plastic material, is both light weight and able to offer weather-resistant features which are provided by the specially designed housing profile and the use of flange gaskets in fluorine rubber (FPM).

Weald Electronics has unveiled LMG Brass, a new family of heavy-duty circular connectors designed for use in harsh or hazardous environments where high resistance to vibration and the ingress of liquids, together with a very rugged construction are key priorities.

HUBER+SUHNER has made a key addition to its industry-leading RADOX cable family with the introduction of a new fibre optic cable that has been designed to provide users across many industries with secure data transmission in a variety of hazardous environments and conditions.

Cliff Electronics is now able to offer a wide range of optical jack sockets suitable for high quality audio systems, IT and medical equipment and other high bandwidth signal connections. Optical jacks are virtually unaffected by electrical noise when transmitting and receiving digital signals and are rapidly becoming a standard feature of IT systems and high quality audio equipment including portable products.

Molex Incorporated has introduced metric sizes to its seamless-barrel insulated Avikrimp and un-insulated VersaKrimp ring terminals, which enable universal use with metric-size studs and screws up to 10mm in diameter and wire sizes up to 6mm2. Thes eterminals are suitable for terminating to metric screws or threaded posts and can be used in solderless wiring applications in the industrial, automotive and consumer industries.

The new P762/G from Peak Test Services is a test probe specifically designed for applications requiring high-current contacting with flat blade connectors. The new probe overcomes the difficulties previously encountered in contacting flat blade connectors with high currents, which result from the fact that the front face does not provide enough contact surface area.

C&K Components has developed a new SMT side actuated switch series that increases operating life while reducing the footprint. The microminiature PTS 840 Series switch is available with front PIP leads that deliver strong shear resistance and higher reliability than other technologies.

TE Connectivity (TE) has launched a new side entry Tinel-Lock ring. The ring is a heat recoverable metal braid terminator, which provides a method of joining a gross cable or harness shield to a customer-built connector backshell or other termination device without pre-positioning the ring on the harness. The uniform recovery force generated by this shape-memory ring gives the termination enhanced mechanical and electrical properties, resulting in a significantly improved performance.

Molex Incorporated’s rugged Nano-Change product line of connector devices is able to offer the industry’s broadest selection of space-saving connectors, cordsets, receptacles, inserts, splitters and moulded junction boxes for sensor and actuator applications that are able to support challenging industrial automation, aerospace and defence network connectivity.
