Samtec is releasing a variety of board-level and cable connector systems for JTAG applications, which are currently shipping in volume quantities, says the interconnect manufacturer. The Samtec JTAG connectors are available on 2.54 mm and 1.27 mm centerlines. Common sizes are 10 pin (2 x 5), 14 pin (2 x 7), and 20 pin (2 x 10). JTAG connectors are ...

Amphenol RF has introduced a non-magnetic series of PCB mounted SMPM jacks. “These 50Ω non-magnetic SMPM jacks offer reliable electrical performance up to 26.5GHz and are engineered with gold-plated beryllium copper bodies – these parts can be clearly identified by the NM stamp on the body [photo below],” according to the company. “They are compatible with all existing non-magnetic SMPM ...

Surrey UK based Cliff Electronics has created versions of its DualSlims FeedThrough connectors to suit the North American market with #4-40 (UNC) threaded mounting holes. The connectors measure 19 x 35.5mm (17.15 x 22.86mm panel cut-out = 0.675 x 0.9in), allowing up to 20 connectors to be mounted across the front of a 1U, 19inch rack panel. Mounting holes are ...

ODU has added its EBP (expanded beam performance) optical connection technology into its Mini-Snap Series K, Medi-Snap, ODU-Mac product ranges. “As a non-contact lens technology, EBP achieves low attenuation, virtually no cleaning or maintenance requirements and a long service life,” claimed the company, which explained: “Under normal conditions no maintenance is required  – cleaning the ferrule is only necessary in ...

Binder is adding an M8 12-pin circular connector to its industrial portfolio. Featuring 12 pins on the compact M8 connector face, the connectors are aimed at projects requiring miniaturisation. Applications suggested by binder include industrial sensor technology, measurement and control, in camera technology and robotics. Miniaturisation “The future of automation lies, among other things, in miniaturization, for which we are ...

Distributor Avnet has introduced the Tria brand for its embedded computing products (computer on modules, boards and systems). It has also announced the Tria Technologies business group which will also include its compute design and manufacturing capabilities. Tria Technologies will support OEMs with design either from scratch or using off-the-shelf products and will also make custom designs. Tria will be ...

Rutronik has picked the ST12 from JAE for customers seeking a ‘push-push’ microSD card connector that is robust – up to 10,000 mating cycles – and whose solder joints can be inspected – as the case is cut away. “This series makes its inspection and repair simpler through the use of external surface-mount leads, which are visible and easily accessible,” ...

Kyocera AVX has created a series of waterproof poke-to-insert wire-to-wire connectors. It rates its 9289-000 series as IP67, and is aiming them at industrial, transportation, commercial and consumer markets. “These single-piece, three-position connectors are the sixth poke-home wire-to-wire connector series in the Kyocera AVX portfolio, but the first waterproof connectors in the range,” according to the company. which describes them ...

CUI Devices has announced single-position terminal blocks in blue, green, red, white or yellow, that can be snapped together to create custom colour-coded PCB-solder-mount screw-less terminal blocks. There are three types: TBL-0014-750 – 7.5mm pitch top-entry poke-in TBL-0015-750 – 7.5mm pitch side-entry poke-in TBL-0016-1000 – 10mm pitch side-entry lever-operated 7.5mm types are rated at 0-40A and 0-300V (UL), or 41A ...

Kyocera AVX has introduced a series of solderless wire-to-board removable edge connectors. Called 9169-000, they combine insulation displacement contacts for the wire with beryllium copper compression contacts for board edge pattern. Locating ribs engage with slots on the PCB edge for polarisation against improper insertion, and moulded plastic clips drop into holes in the PCB to improve retention. “It is ...
