Bioplastic resin connector addresses demand for environmental solutions
Molex Incorporated has unveiled that the Stac64-e connector for automotive applications has received third party Environmental Claims Validation (ECV). The UL Environment ECV certification confirms that the Stac64-e connector contains 71 percent bio-based content in accordance with ASTM D6866-11. Constructed of resin derived from renewable plant-based castor oil, the Stac64-e harness connector provides an alternative to traditional petroleum-based connectors while offering equivalent performance and quality characteristics.
Designed to withstand harsh environments,
the 20-circuit, dual-row harness Stac64-e connector has successfully completed USCAR-2 Standard Class II validation testing for mechanical, environmental and electrical performance characteristics for unsealed connector automotive applications. The bioplastic resin Stac64-e connector joins an existing portfolio of Molex Stac64 PCB connectors featuring a stackable, modular housing that can be ganged together into larger header assemblies, significantly reducing time-to-market by eliminating the need for custom tooling. Stac64 connectors support the needs of
navigation, instrumentation, and other automotive applications.
Molex manufacturing facilities are ISO9000 and ISO14000 certified. Recognising the role of responsible automotive component manufacturers in advancing sustainable automotive design, Molex said that it will continue to develop and build on its bioplastic based resin connector portfolio as a supplement to current product offerings.

CONEC delivers fibre-optic LC connector series for FTTA applications
CONEC has developed rugged ODVA- compliant connectors specifically for harsh environment applications, such as WiMax, Long Term Evolution (LTE), and Remote Radio Heads using Fiber To The Antenna (FTTA) connectivity, which require rugged connector and cable assemblies suitable for outdoor use. Designated the LC Series, CONEC is
able to offer a broad ODVA-compliant fibre-optic connector portfolio, providing both full-metal and plastic versions of the IP67-rated interconnects. CONEC can also provide cable and plug kit assembly services to deliver a complete FTTA system interconnect solution. The water-resistant LC Series connectors
provide increased protection from contamination and moisture in addition to mechanical stability, temperature resistance and vibration immunity. The connectors use OFNR (optical fibre nonconductive riser) breakout cables rated for outdoor usage and/or direct burial.
The IP67-rated LC Series connectors feature a
1/6th turn bayonet coupling for a fast and secure mate/unmate, even with gloved hands. The compact LC Series connectors are also compatible with industry standard cables and interconnect products.

White Lite - Low cost PCB connector solution for Solid State Lighting
Connector manufacturer Global Connector Technology is offering a new range of connectors for SSL applications.
White Lite is aimed at LED strip applications; aligning centre lines of horizontal mating printed circuit boards. Available in both SMT or thru hole with 2-6 contacts as a two piece or as a thru hole singe piece solution with an innovative U-shaped connector design.
U shaped connectors are an economical choice and allow connections where access from above the PCB is the only option. U Shaped connectors may be either soldered direct to the PCB or plugged into vertical PCB sockets. LCP insulators are natural coloured to reduce light absorption which not only provides better aesthetic effects but also a resistance to high process temperatures. All White Lite parts are available in stock for
