High density connectors for board to board and cable to cable applications
Lane Electronics is making available ITW McMurdo’s Micronector 200 and Micronector 300 high density 2mm pitch connectors. Lane Electronics has BS approved assembly at its Horsham HQ where standard and customer specific product can be supplied on very short lead times.
Both ranges meet the latest UK and
International standards, for use primarily in MIL/Aerospace applications, where high
resistance to vibration and extreme reliability are critical. Other applications would be high-end engineering where constant exposure to vibration could be an issue that has caused other two-part connectors to fail. ITW McMurdo’s Micronector 200 series is designed for board-to-board or cable-to-cable applications and can be assembled in 7 sizes, single row from 2 to 7 and 17 ways and in 11 sizes, double row from 4 to 34 ways. The connectors feature a small footprint for increased packing density and high reliability circular contacts for increased resistance to shock and vibration. Micronector 300 series connectors are three
row, 2mm pitch products which can be supplied in 27, 51 and 78 way sizes. They are available in a variety of formats including male straight pc, 90º pc and crimp terminations, and female straight pc, flexi circuit and crimp terminations as well as a male panel mount version.

Enlarged connector housing for high- current applications
The Han(R) HPR range of industrial connector housings from HARTING now includes a enlarged version which makes it possible to assemble the 4-pole version of the Han(R) HC Modular 250 high-current contact system to the Han(R) HPR size 16 B as well as the previous size 24B.
This configuration, which involves new contact holding frames and a new Han(R) 16 HPR enlarged hood and bulkhead mounting housing, allows high-current applications with a rated current of 250 A and a rated voltage of 2000 V with up to four contacts to be realised in a compact design. In spite of its compact size, the "enlarged" housing version provides plenty of room for cabling.
The new Han(R) 16 HPR enlarged housings have the same features as the established and
reliable Han(R) HPR housing series. The hood has four M25 cable entries. The new housings are fitted with the usual screw locking system and fulfil the IP 68 protection requirements of the IEC 60529 standard in the locked position.

www.harting.com New products from TE Connectivity
TE Connectivity has released a 0.3 mm front flip lock, Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) connector and a FORGE power drawer connector for high- current and high-voltage power supplies and power distribution systems.
In a busy month for the company the new FPC connector is low-halogen and includes connectors up to 71 positions. “With this extended position size range and the availability of a front flip lock actuator, the FPC offers more flexibility to product designers, who now can break through traditional technological restrictions," said Tyler Madden, product specialist, TE Connectivity. Customers can choose between front flip lock or back flip lock actuators, satisfying various design specifications for consumer electronics, set top boxes, mobile devices, etc. The front flip lock offering is low-halogen, which is more environmentally friendly and meets current requirements of many consumer products. TE also launched the new FORGE power drawer connector for high-current and high- voltage power supplies and power distribution systems. This blindmateable connector, produced from a scalable mold platform, allows users to specify the connector configuration that best meets their design requirements. With a voltage rating of up to 1000V AC or DC, coupled with a robust design, the product is well suited for high- efficiency power conversion applications and high-reliability power systems used in rugged environments. Target applications include power inverters, servers, switches and routers used in data centers, alternative energy power conversion, and military and aerospace products. With a scalable mold platform, the FORGE power drawer connector allows users to specify

the number of modules on its housing as well as the size and location of its contacts. Housings can be designed in two row, one-to-five column configurations for a maximum of 10 modules and a current carrying capacity of over 1000 Amps (dependent on configuration). This customizability allows TE to quickly deliver a power connector to help shorten design time and save design space.
An added benefit of the FORGE power drawer connector is its use of POWER ARCH contacts – highly conductive contacts, also manufactured by TE, which allow for a much lower mating force than drawer contacts currently offered in the market. This low mating force enables easy mating for a secure connection and helps to reduce potential damage during mating/unmating cycles. Contacts are touch-safe and available in five
different sizes with current ratings from 3 Amps to 250 Amps per contact. Additionally, the product offers three mating sequences for use in hot-plug applications. The contact sequencing helps to control power arcing during mating and unmating.
