Docking connector copes with 2mm of misalignment
German connector maker ODU has introduced a modular connector for docking systems that can handle ±4mm of radial play to allow for misalignment. 1mm of axial compensation is also available, as is optional grounding up to 10mm2. Called P4+, and part of its Silver-Line product family, the frame “ensures a durable interface for at least 100,000 mating cycles”, according to ...
Binder adds Ethernet connectivity for sensors in confined spaces
Binder is adding to its 818 product series with connectors using D-coding in the M8 form factor, for space-saving miniaturised sensors in Ethernet applications. With a third less space required than for M12, the 4-pin connectors enable the network connection of small actuators and sensors with data rates of up to 100 Mbit/s. Industrial Specifically, they are aimed at Industrial ...
3A 5way IPx7 connector can absorb misalignment
Yokowo has developed a waterproof blade and receptacle connector with floating contacts to absorb mating misalignment, vibration or shock. Spring-loaded dual-beam contacts absorb contact displacement – 0.3mm laterally (left-right in the photo insert), for example. The base of the connector is ~22mm long (including small tags). Contacts are rated at 3A with 50mΩ contact resistance and a life of 2,000 mating cycles. Waterproofness ...

They are offered in two, three or four single row configurations for vertical cable to board use. The compact connectors are vibration and shock-resistant. They are designed to combine robust construction and elevated current-carrying capacity with each contact handling 60A. They are ...
Tough compact connectors for USB 3, HDMI, Ethernet and more
For higher pin-count busses, Fischer has added a larger connector to its MiniMax Series of miniature rugged high-reliability connectors. The connector has a 14mm diameter body (Fischer size 10) and comes in two versions so far: 12 signal and power contacts offering USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbit/s, 1m) and up to 8A, for high-speed intercom boxes and next-generation hubs 30 ...
Pluggable terminal blocks for industry and test
CUI Devices has added 17 devices in over 300 varieties to its pluggable terminal block portfolio with 2 to 24 poles and three pitch options: 3.5, 5 or 7.62mm. They carry UL current ratings of 8 or 15A and 300Vdc, and IEC current ratings of 7, 8, or 10A, and 250 to 1,000Vdc. “Ideal for a variety of industrial control, ...
Plug 100A straight into a PCB
Designed to be soldered through holes in a PCB, LF PowerBasket connectors from Wurth are dropped through holes and top-side-soldered to produce high current plug in and out connections using 3mm or 6mm diameter male pins. The sockets can be used one at a time or, due 0.6mm positional tolerance, several contacts can be plugged in at the same time ...
PCB Ethernet connector for rail and industrial use
Smiths Interconnect has created the Intercompact series, a signal + Ethernet PCB connector qualified for demanding rail and industrial applications. The series has PCB-to-PCB and floating mount rack and panel parts, with bodies made from liquid crystal polymer. There are 60 and 41 way signal configurations with ‘Hypertac’ hyperboloid contacts. Described as compact, face-on the connectors are approximately 107 x 15.3mm ...
binder releases multi-position M12 panel mount connectors
The circular connector specialist binder has released rectangular-flange M12 connectors with multi-position, lockable A-coding. The two-piece M12 panel mount connectors – with square-flange housings and multi-position, lockable A-coding – aim to simplify secure sensor/actuator connections, in applications such as factory automation and robotics. binder writes: The 763 series includes M12 A signal connectors equipped with 4, 5 and 8 pins ...
