New screw down options available on Tiger Eye interconnects
Samtec’s line of Tiger Eye interconnect solutions has been expanded to include screw-down options for both board-to- board and cable-to-board systems on .050” (1,27 mm) and 2,00 mm (.0787”) pitch. These connector systems feature rugged Beryllium Copper contacts for high reliability and high mating cycles. Whether used in board stacking or cable applications, the screw-down feature assures that connectors can only become unmated when intentionally de-mated by the user.
Samtec is able to also offer a number of additional ruggedizing features on its Tiger Eye systems, including metal latches, friction latches, shrouding, polarization and keying. Cable systems can be supplied as components or completed assemblies with either PVC or Teflon jacketed cable. Board-to-board
connectors are available in a number of stack heights as well as right angle designs.

Miniaturised connection technology suited to field assembly
New from the HARTING Technology Group the har-flexicon is a miniaturised individual conductor PCB connection technology that features 1.27 mm spacing and is suited to field assembly.
Even with traditional PCB connectors, miniaturisation continues to advance with components in this segment getting smaller and smaller. Despite this reduction in size, users still expect to operate connection technology just as conveniently and quickly as conventional products with higher spacing measurements. Consisting of a pluggable SMD terminal block, with IDC wire connection, the har-flexicon allows the rapid, tool-less termination of single wires directly on to a PCB, with the benefits of low processing costs, compatibility with automatic SMT mounting and reflow soldering process, and a high level of rigidity with large- area SMT fixings.
Cambridge offers new broadcast range of ultra high definition connectors
As “Ultra High Definition” TV, which is four times sharper than traditional HD TV, begins to establish itself as the future broadcast television standard Cambridge Connectors has unveiled a new Ultra HD 1.0/2.3 connector range to meet the high transmission speeds demanded by this standard. Providing enhanced performance at 6GHz, in readiness for proposed High Speed Single Link video transport of Ultra HD 4K data, these connectors are intended for High Speed, High Definition Video networking requirements as found in switching and routing broadcast equipment. With a pitch of 8mm, up to twice as many of these compact connectors can be installed compared to traditional BNC types. Its secure latching mechanism is compatible with standard 1.0/2.3 connectors (DIN 47297; IEC 61169-29) and combines high connection integrity with a simple push/pull operation making it is especially suitable where high wiring densities and secure connections are needed.
Styles available include PCB edge mounting, right angle PCB mounting and top entry PCB types - while other styles are in development.
Flexible individual conductor wiring of industrial devices with PCBs as their key component is one of the principal requirements of modern device technology. Because sensor/actuator subassemblies need to be connected on site rapidly, PCB connection technology must continue to be universally applicable. These challenges look to be
addressed by the har-flexicon, which offers flexibility in the connection of I/O signals with tool-less individual conductor wiring, allowing on-site assembly in the field.

Drop-in solution simplifies implementation of PoE Plus into PoE Power Devices
Molex Incorporated has launched the PDJack connector, its next-generation PoE Plus single- port integrated controller Power Device (PD) jack. Integrating all necessary Power Device controller circuitry and Ethernet connectivity, the PDJack connector is a complete off-the-shelf PoE Plus Power Device solution.
With a nominal impedance of 75 ohms, typical reflection factor performances (VSWR) (attached to PCB) are:for the edge mount versions between 1.10 (DC - 3.0GHz) and 1.32 (3.0 - 6.0GHz); the right angle version is between 1.11 (DC - 3.0GHz) and 1.29 (3.0 - 6.0GHz) and the top entry style is from 1.36 (DC - 3.0GHz) to 1.38 (3.0 - 6.0GHz).

Self-assembly connectors for potential equalisation offer easy fitting
Needing only a hex key for assembly, the new POAG plug connectors from Multi-Contact are cost-effective sockets for potential equalisation conductors. Their screw lead termination removes the need for a crimping tool.
The right-angled connectors use high quality components and are suitable for the equipotential bonding of medical equipment for use in hospitals and other facilities in continental Europe. They conform to DIN 42801 Part 2 standards.
The nickel-plated brass sockets have spring loaded Multilam contacts made of gold-plated, hard drawn copper alloy. They can accept cable of 4 mm2 or 6 mm2 cross-section.

Based on the RJ45 connector, the magnetic PDJack connector is, according to the company, the first integrated Power Device jack in the market to combine PoE Plus Power Device controller circuitry and bridge rectifiers with gigabit magnetics in one connector, providing a complete drop-in single port solution. In developing the PDJack Molex has
partnered with Microsemi to use its PD controller PD70200. The PD70200 meets all PD side standards, such as detection, classification, integrated isolation switch with inrush current limiter and over-current protection, and two events classifications for PoE Plus power. The PDJack connector provides cost savings by
reducing complex engineering and testing requirements, the purchasing of fewer components, simplified production and significantly faster time-to-market. Mounting directly onto the customer’s PCB, the connector manages all aspects of the PoE operation:
detection, power limit classification and safe power-up and power down of Power Devices, such as IP phones, IP cameras, Wireless Access Points, control panels, vision systems and point of sale (POS) units.
The PDJack supplies up to 25.5 Watts of power at 37 to 57 Volts; it features 2 pins for power output and standard signal pins to provide Ethernet connectivity. Additional pins allow power-up of an external DC-DC converter. PoE Plus according to the IEEE standard requires Cat5 cable or higher.

TE Connectivity has released a new LED Holder, the Type Z32, for the Sharp Electronics Mini ZENIGATA LED. The small, low profile, circular Type Z32 LED Holder provides a quick and easy solderless power connection to the Sharp Mini ZENIGATA LED chip on board family, enabling designs to be more reliable, easier to use, and faster to market. The Type Z32 eliminates hand solder operations reducing the costs associated with assembly and rework. Direct attachment of the LED Holder to the heat sink using standard screws secures the LED without damaging or cracking the substrates that could lead to latent
field defects. The Type Z32 provides a snap-in LED retention feature that makes handling Sharp Mini ZENIGATA LEDs easier and faster to install into fixtures. The holder simplifies the design by providing the proper thermal hold down forces and provides an excellent landing zone for secondary optics. TE’s Z32 holder’s sleek design produces a clean, aesthetically appealing appearance making it ideal for use in spotlights, downlights, retrofit lamps and various indoor and outdoor lighting applications.
