Connector maker Harwin has teamed up with TraceParts to offer 3D models of its connectors as well as models of its board-level EMC shielding and PCB hardware. “Models are available in all current file formats for engineers to integrate directly into their CAD system,” according to Portsmouth UK based Harwin. The same deal has put Harwin’s parts onto TrustedParts, a ...

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 ...

Binder is adding to its 707 product series with new M5 angled panel mount parts, which are aimed space-critical applications. The new 3- or 4-pin connectors of the 707 series will be. equipped with dip solder contacts for PCB mounting, and feature screw locking to ensure the reliability of the connection. Mated and locked, the interface complies with protection degree ...

Binder, the circular connector specialist, is extending its 720 and 770 series with angled versions, which are designed for tight installation spaces. The angled variants can help where installation space is limited, for example, with possible applications identified as including lighting and heating (720 series) and medical technology (770 series). Note the contact body can also be rotated in steps ...

Smiths Interconnect has created an EMI flange for its high-speed NXS connectors, intended for use in satellites. It interfaces between the PCB mounted receptacle and the enclosure panel or bulkhead to minimises the risk of electrical interference flowing from external sources into the enclosure, and vise versa. The EMI receptacle has a gold plated aluminium body that is assembled into ...

There are design challenges for antennas, PCB connectors and components, advise Ifan Yousaf and David Currie, of TE. The environment of smart devices presents design challenges. Electronic devices are increasingly being connected to the world through one or more wireless technologies and are commonly referred to as smart devices. By 2025, it is estimated that more than 75 billion devices ...

No tools are needed when locking pre-stripped flying leads into Phoenix Contact’s XPC 1,5 PCB two-part 3.5mm pitch connector for connecting wires to PCBs. “Following the principle of a mousetrap, the conductor is caught simply by inserting it into the connector,” according to the company. “Clamping contacts provide a long-term, reliable rigid and flexible connection for the conductors, with or ...

Nicomatic has contracted SnapEDA to provide CAD models for two-row versions of Nicomatic’s CMM 220 and 320 micro connector series – a total of over eight million variants. “Options range from 4 to 60 for signal contacts and 4 to 54 for coaxial or power contacts with locking or racking fixings,” according to SnapEDA. “To generate the parts, engineers need ...

Kyocera AVX has added four and five position options to its 5.6mm tall 9176-700 series of insulation displacement wire-to-PCB connectors. The connectors are soldered to the PCB in a tall state then, to terminate, insulated wires are inserted and the top of the connector is permanently pushed down to its final height. All four or five wires have to be ...

Harwin has upped custom cable assembly capacity at its US facility in Salem New Hampshire. “Growing customer demand has led to the need for ramping up cable assembly,” the company told Electronics Weekly. “More capacity has been added to address this through additional jigs, and electrical testing capabilities have been doubled, while wire cutting and stripping procedures are being made ...
