Connector firm EDAC is offering a range of magnetic jack connectors that integrate up to ten of the most sensitive discrete components inside a shielded RJ45 housing. Mainly targeting 10/100 Base T and 1000 Base T gigabit Ethernet applications the three device families in the edacJAX range offer single and stacked multi-port options and LED indicators that provide visual indication of port status ...

Smiths Connectors has introduced a rugged high speed D-Sub series connector with 150Ω Quadrax contacts. It has been designed to ground the outer shield Quadrax directly to the shell of the connector, providing minimal RF noise. The connector is specified up to 1,000 mating cycles. To ensure that the correct high-speed connectors are mated to address specific wiring requirements and ...

Hybrid interfaces have been used in IT for a long time. Everyone is familiar with the USB and power over Ethernet (PoE) interface standards, through which end devices are supplied with both data and energy. These developments are also in demand in the more general industrial environment. Data transmission rates are increasing and industry standard interfaces such as RJ45 and ...

Harting has expanded its family of DIN 41612 connectors by adding devices in the M inverse style. This connector style is especially suited to implementing combined connections between circuit boards in which signal, coaxial, high-current (up to 40A) or optical fibre transmissions need to be combined in one connector. The new connector style is available in configurations with pole numbers ...

Allowing audio, data, and fibre signals to pass through 24mm XLR connector mounting holes, Cliff Electronics has created a range of feed-through connectors that accept standard cabling both front and rear, eliminating the need to solder or crimp at either side. “Using the same, industry standard, XLR connector cut-out already extensively used for audio and control connections greatly simplifies panel ...

Astute Electronics has introduced AirBorn’s high-density HD4 interconnect system designed for the HyperTransport consortium’s industry-standard HyperShare scalable interconnect technology. Although developed for the HyperShare platform, HD4 products also suits many other interconnect standards. The I/O link targets rack-in-cabinet-based systems that require higher bandwidth and density, providing up to six I/O ports on a 7.4mm pitch along a low-profile PCIe. The ...

Cliff Electronics, the Redhill connector specialist, has introduced of a range of latching DC plugs and sockets designed for use where critical power is lost or interrupted by accidental disconnection in applications including medical, data, monitoring, emergency lighting and equipment charging.

Fujikura has launched an active V-groove FTTH splicer for single fibre weighing 1.1kg and measuring 120x189x71.3mm.

Wago is offering surface-mount push-in mains power connectors. There are two series: 2060 and the larger 2061 for 9 and 12A respectively. Applications are expected in LED lighting and, to allow them to be used board-to-board as well as cable-to-board, back-to-back male-male couplers are available (see picture). 2060 connectors are 13.1mm front to back, 4.5mm high and 4mm pitch for ...

Brand-Rex of Glenrothes has launched a tool-free shielded panel-mount jack designed to be quick to terminate and fit – faster than its earlier tool-free design. “Having launched one of the very first tool-free jacks back in 2006, the design brief which was largely based on feedback received from customers and installers in the field,” said product manager Eddie McGinley. “A ...
