WHAT’S NEW
Rocker switches for many uses
LED family expands
C&K Components has developed two new series of rocker switches for household appliances, instrument panels, industrial controls and computers/peripherals. Designated the CG and the CL series, the UL- and CSA-approved single pole power rocker switches feature two-tone andmulti-colored illuminated actuators. The durable rockers are easy to install and offer a casing that can retainmarkings.
"The CG and CL series have an easy snap-in installation design
for quick, high-volume product assembly," said Owen Camden, Business DevelopmentManager for C&K Components. "With these design features, as well as a quick-connect termination, the CG and CL rocker switches are ideal for use in consumer and industrial applications."
The CG series single pole power rocker switches are available
with a two-tone actuator (offered in five color combinations) or with red, amber, or green illuminated actuators. Additionally, the actuators can bemarked. VDE-approved, the beveled, framed CG Series rockers offer easy panel-mount installation. The switch has contact ratings of 16A at 125VAC or 10A at 250VAC and an electrical life of 10,000make-and-break cycles at full load. The operating temperature for the CG series is -20 degrees C to +85 degrees C.

Lumex announces the extension of its TitanBrite line of high power LED technology with the introduction of new 2-watt, 3- watt and 5-watt LEDs. The surface mounted LEDs provide high intensity light of up to 58, 210 and 300 lumens respectively. Compared to similar high power LEDs, the new TitanBrite products can provide up to a 30% improvement in heat dissipation performance and a 60% enhancement in electrostatic discharge protection. The technologies feature unique packaging which allows for simplified integration and for additional savings in the area of product design.
TitanBrite high power LED technology comes with complimentary
integration support. Lumex Technical Design Specialists can integrate TitanBrite LEDs with LCDs, light pipes, switches, connectors and other key components to create solutions that maximize performance and efficiency in each individual application.
The RoHs compliant TitanBrite 2-watt, 3-watt and 5-watt LEDs are
available in a variety of colors. The 2-watt technology is available in yellow (591nm typ) and red (623nm typ). The 3-watt and 5-watt LEDs are offered in blue (465nm typ), warm white (2700K) and cool white (6000K) with red, green and yellow versions also available at no additional cost.
Lumex´s new TitanBrite high power LEDs are list priced from $4.96 to
$8.86 for the 2-watt LED, $4.73 to $8.96 for the 3-watt LED and $10.83 to $19.88 for the 5-watt technology dependent on quantity ordered. Lead times range from six to eight weeks.

Hirose USA has teamed with ATS (Application Tooling Solutions) to enable ATS to supply applicators that fit into industry standard terminating machines. The option to use the popular ATS applicator tooling means reduced set-up time, a more streamlined production line and faster overall manufacturing throughput by allowing the use of existing termination equipment. "By integrating ATS' applicators with
standardized terminating machines, Hirose customers can maximize the efficiency of their manufacturing lines

and increase their overall production flow," said Rick vanWeezel, vice president of sales and marketing for Hirose USA. "We chose to work with ATS because they share Hirose's commitment to delivering efficient, economical manufacturing solutions to customers along with providing personal, professional service." Hirose has found ATS applicator tooling
ideal for use with some of Hirose's most popular board connectors for discrete wire connection, including: • DF3 Series - 2mm pitch, SMT/through-
hole (2 - 15 positions, up to 3A, 6.6/7.5mm stack heights);
• DF11 Series - 2mm pitch, SMT/through- hole (4 - 40 positions, up to 2A, 7.6/7.8/8.2/8.4mm stack heights);
• DF13 Series - 1.25mm pitch, SMT/Through-hole (2 - 40 positions, 1A)
• DF14 Series - 1.25mm pitch, SMT (2 - 30 positions, 1A)
• DF20 Series - 1mm pitch, SMT (10/20/30/40/50 positions, up to 1A)
