Molex has introduced MX-Dash, a family of single automotive connectors that combine power, signal and high-speed data inserts for zonal architectures. In wire-to-wire and wire-to-board form, they are aimed at autonomous driving modules, cameras, GPS, infotainment, lidar, displays and sensors. There are sealed and un-sealed options, and configurations with 0.50, 0.64, 1.20, 1.50, 2.80 or 4.80mm terminals as well as coaxial ...

IP-67 reverse polarity TNC micro-coax connectors
Amphenol RF has added more ‘reverse polarity’ configurations to its miniature TNC connectors. “Micro-coax cable is extremely flexible and offers high-performance even when used in the bent position. It is often used in high-speed applications where low loss and high shielding is preferred over traditional shielded cables,” according to the company. “These are designed specifically to accommodate 0.81, 1.32 and ...
“Widest axial mating tolerance” RF contacts
Component manufacturer and distributor Powell Electronics is claiming “the widest axial mating tolerance of blind-mate RF contacts currently available on the market” for coaxial connector parts from Phoenix Company of Chicago, which it is now stocking. “This enables the contacts to accommodate large radial and axial misalignment tolerances found in modular applications,” continued Powell. They provide “constant impedance even as ...
N-type connectors and cable assemblies
Würth Elektronik introduced N type 50Ω cable and PCB connectors to MIL-STD-348. PCB jacks are available in straight and angled through-hole versions, or as four-hole flanged panel connectors with round post or solder cup. Cable-end versions (pictured right) are available loose for field assembly, or pre-assembled onto cables (including N-type to SMA adaptors, picture below), and there are coax bulkhead ...
A dozen 26GHz coax connections in a single rugged housing
Lemo has put a dozen 26.5GHz coax contacts inside a high-reliability circular connector housing, sealed to IP68 when mated. Called LM.232, its signal paths are 50Ω, with a VSWR of ~1.2 from 5 to 15GHz, peaking to 1.4 at 18GHz. The contacts are designed to be terminated on LMR-100A, Multiflex 86, RG-174/U, RG-188 A/U or RG-316/U flexible cables. Attachment is ...
