Board-to-board connector support 28 Gbps links
Samtec announces the availability of its SLH/TLH Series printed circuit board (PCB) to board (B2B) connectors that offer an ultra-low mated stack height down to 2 mm (.078″) and support 28 Gbps NRZ performance. SLH/TLH PCB board-to-board connectors are part of Samtec’s Ultra Micro line of products that maximize overall space and offer reliable connections […]
Compact industrial sensor enhances control interface design
EBE sensors + motion’s magnetic panel potentiometer is designed for human-machine interfaces (HMI) delivers unprecedented durability with 1,000,000 operating cycles – 20 times longer than conventional wire and cermet alternatives. The compact MPE19 measures just 19mm in diameter and 20mm in height behind the front panel, making it ideal for space-constrained industrial applications. Its robust […]
What’s the difference between mini delta ribbon and shrunk delta ribbon cable assemblies?
Mini delta ribbon (MDR) and shrunk delta ribbon (SDR) cable assemblies are both designed to carry video signals as specified in the Camera Link (CL) specification, and they have the same internal connections. MDR and SDR cables are incompatible with the higher speed Camera Link HS (CLHS) standard. CLHS connectors include CX4 and SFP/SFP+. A […]
Automotive board connectors handle harsh environments
Hirose has designed a two-piece FPC/FFC-to-board connector for harsh environment applications including automotive. Featuring a center lock design, the TF70 Series allows for easy, one-handed insertion and removal, ensuring durable performance with a locking strength of more than 40N. A guide key prevents mis-insertion, and a clear tactile click indicates complete and proper mating. Assembly […]

How do car camera bus and FPD link compare?
Car camera bus (C2B) and flat panel display (FPD) Link are both technologies used in automotive vision systems, but they differ in their use cases, performance, and cost. Automotive high-definition link (AHL) is another choice for video connectivity, as is automotive Ethernet, a general-purpose networking technology. This article briefly compares FPD Link, C2B, and AHL. […]
Compact FPC/FFC connector targets vehicle electronics
Hirose Electric has introduced the TF70 Series, a new FPC/FFC-to-Board connector designed for automotive applications. The TF70 Series offers a compact solution for connecting flexible printed circuits (FPC) and flexible flat cables (FFC) to printed circuit boards in space-constrained environments. The connector features a direct FPC/FFC connection design, which simplifies assembly processes and contributes to […]
