Multi-contact double module added to Han-Modular connector family


Harting has added a multi-contact double module to the range of data interfaces for the Han-Modular family of industrial connectors. Currently offering the highest contact density of any connector in the range, the multi-contact double module can include up to 12 contacts, including coaxial contacts as well as contacts for optical waveguides. The precision manufactured components allow the use of a broad range of optical waveguides, from POF to multimode fibres.


Compared to connectors previously available on the market, the new module is able to offer a 50% higher packing density in line with the trend to more compact solutions. Because it can be combined with all known standard housings and housings from Harting's new Han-Eco and Han-Yellock series, it is suitable for diverse applications in industry and transportation. In addition to multiple-channel data transmission, the new multi-contact double module also allows simultaneous


Micro-miniature pushbutton switches just 1.48mm high


implementation of power contacts, which is particularly useful in hybrid cabling concepts that integrate data transmission and power supply in one connector.

Switch manufacturer, knitter-switch, has introduced a very small, tactile, pushbutton switch that will find many applications in all types of handheld devices including PDA’s and those designed for medical and industrial use. According to knitter-switch, these tiny switches are suitable for those functions in a handheld device for which a touch-screen or sensor button is not suitable. These include stand-by switch, volume adjustment, keypad lock and camera shutter functions. Measuring just 3.8 x 2.8 x 1.48mm, the knitter-switch TSS 5400 series includes models that can be vertically or horizontally actuated. Operating actuation force is 160gf for vertically operated switches and 200gf for horizontal types. Contact rating is 50mA, 12VDC, electrical life is 100,000 cycles and the terminals are silver plate over nickel. The switch cover is silver plated stainless steel and the base is high-temperature thermoplastic. Switches in the new TSS 5400 series are Halogen free and are available with the option of gold-plated contacts. All models have an operating temperature range of -40 to +85ºC. Standard switches are available from a number of distributors


throughout Europe. Knitterswitch | www.knitter-switch.com


New shortened version of Binder M16 IP67 connector


The comprehensive Series 423 range of Binder IP67 M16 connectors has been extended further with the addition of a modified design format that has a length of only 45mm, 25% shorter than the standard connectors. Manufactured from nickel plated brass and with internal seals at the mating face and in the cable clamp, these tough, robust connectors are rated to IP67 making them ideal for a wide variety of applications including, gas and water meters, temperature and torque sensors, pressure gauges, automatic number plate recognition systems and other equipment in the security and communication markets.


Manufactured in nickel plated brass with 2 to 19 poles and suitable for cable sizes from 4 to 8mm, gold plated contacts provide in excess of 500 mating cycles.


Based in Hemel Hempstead, Binder UK is a subsidiary of Franz Binder GmbH, a company that sells a wide range of circular connectors throughout the world to the instrumentation, sensor, automation, medical devices and industrial equipment markets.
