Parallel board-to-board connectors for low-profile mating
Mill-Max Mfg. Corp. has introduced new Horizontal SMT (HSMT) headers and sockets suited for low-profile parallel board-to-board or board-to-component mating. The removable plastic cap provides the convenience of a traditional connector and once removed delivers an interconnect system with a minimal surface mount profile. These new sockets, 835-43-0XX-40-030001, and headers, 328-10-1XX-40-020001 are an excellent choice […]
Space-saving FPC connector combines low-insertion force with high-retention force
Hirose has developed a compact flexible printed circuit (FPC) connector with a single-action lock designed for automatic assembly. In addition to simplifying assembly, the space-saving FH62 Series FPC connector also simplifies the design process. Supporting USB 3.0, Embedded DisplayPort ver1.3 and MIPI D-PHY ver1.1 standards, the compact FH62 Series FPC connector saves PCB space, vital in […]

The ix Industrial Series combines a small robust design with high-speed data transmission capabilities that enables industrial equipment advancements in smart manufacturing. The ix Industrial […]
Enclosure range expanded to four plan sizes
OKW’s EVOTEC designer table-top electronic enclosures are now available in a new smaller 100 size – increasing the range to four plan sizes. Ergonomic EVOTEC is elegant and comfortable to use – but tough enough for challenging working environments. Applications include measurement and control engineering, IT, medical, laboratory and environmental technology. It can also be […]
BTB pin jumper series for maximum tolerance absorption
AVX Corp. has extended its new series of pin jumpers for board-to-board (BTB) and module-to-module connections in solid-state lighting (SSL) and other low-pin-count industrial applications with a new two-position pin jumper. When used in conjunction with the new 2.5 mm 70-9296 Series STRIPT horizontal, poke-home contact without a wire stop — which is both the […]
Hybrid active optical cable assembly supports up to 12.5 Gbps and 3.3 V
Hirose has designed an intrafacility fiber cable (IFC) assembly system that supports bidirection optical transmission of 6.25 Gbps and unidirection up to 12.5 Gbps (6.25 Gbps x 2ch). The high-speed BF4-IFC series cable assembly integrates the BF4M series active optical connector into a rugged circular shell with a superior push-pull design for quick and easy […]
New side bags for portable instrument enclosures
OKW has added optional side bags to its CARRYTEC portable instrument enclosures – making sensors, probes and scanners readily available on the move. Robust CARRYTEC enclosures are ideal for a wide range of applications including medical and wellness, communications, data recording, agriculture and forest management. The new zip-opening side bags are available as accessories in […]
New configurator tool allows users to custom design industrial connectors
HARTING has developed its Han configurator tool for industrial connectors that enables designers to quickly obtain all decision-relevant data for an interface they need. Users need only enter three parameters — the number of contacts, required voltage, and current strength — to obtain a visual presentation of an initial potential solution. The solution can then […]
Elastomer sockets for high-speed QFP ICs handle up to 30 GHz with below 1 dB insertion loss
A new high-performance QFP socket for 0.5-mm-pitch 64-pin QFPs called the SG-QFE-7020 socket is designed for 10x10x1.6-mm packages with 12×12-mm lead tip-to-tip. It operates at bandwidths up to 30 GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss. The contact resistance is typically 20 m° per I/O. The socket connects all pins with 30-GHz bandwidth […]
