PRODUCTS CABLES & CONNECTORS
MICROWAVE CABLE ASSEMBLIES FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE APPLICATIONS
A new series of microwave cable assemblies has been introduced by HUBER+SUHNER. These, the company explains, have been developed for high performance applications where requirements include high insertion loss figures, high phase stability versus temperature and bending, excellent return loss and mechanical stability. The SUCOFLEX 200 series of microwave cable assemblies are
tape wrapped and feature a robust mechanical construction designed for dynamic applications. These are MIL-DTL-17 qualified assemblies with an operating frequency up to 40GHz, an impedance of 50Ω and a velocity of propagation of 82%. The SUCOFLEX 229 series assemblies operate up to 29GHz
and, like the 200 series, offer improved system performance thanks to reduced phase change over temperature and a higher signal integrity due to lower losses. Both series are available as stock assemblies or assembled to
order and can be supplied with a variety of recommended connectors including SMA and SK.

Ready-to-assemble cables in PVC cable quality are now available from Phoenix Contact as a standard stock item for sensor/actuator cabling. According to the company, the cables are easy to assemble because even long stripping lengths can be used, and they can be applied in all areas with moderate mechanical stresses, such as machine construction. Of additional benefit, the cables offer a high resistance against chemicals and mineral oils. The range includes SAC cables of
types M8 and M12, as well as valve connectors. Like the PUR range of products, the PVC range has a universal UL certification (cULus Listed) for types M8 and M12, and a CSA certification for model A valve connectors.
Phoenix Contact CONNECTORS FOR HARSH ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
The new Binder 696 Series HEC (Harsh Environment Connector), which has been specifically developed for outdoor applications, is now available from Foremost Electronics. Constructed to enable use
in harsh and demanding environmental conditions, the connector design has UL and VDE
approval and excellent resistance to UV, temperature fluctuations, acid rain, salt spray, ozone and other pollutants. Its three point bayonet locking design makes for a safe and secure fast-locking action, while a robust coding mechanism prevents incorrect orientation and is suitable for over 1000
mating cycles. The connector uses a variety of crimp contacts to achieve a secure vibration proof termination; and male and female cable connectors and matching panel mount connectors are available. The initial contact arrangement is an eight pole hybrid with four signal contacts and three + PE which can accommodate a variety of wire gauges from six to 17mm in diameter. Signal contacts are rated up to 3A at 60V and power contacts to 25A at 400V. Applications for the connector
include agricultural and construction equipment, traffic and signalling equipment, process engineering, water purification and recycling equipment.

FIBRE OPTIC SINGLE-MODE CABLES
Thanks to its new production facility, Laser Components is now capable of producing fibre optic single-mode cables in-house. The cables are equipped with FC/PC or FC/APC connectors and can be produced from the standard telecom wavelength at 1550nm to a wavelength of 450nm, although other connector types are available on request. Also available are IEC-specified patch cords and pigtails as well as connector assemblies on provided materials – both with conventional single-mode (SM) and polarization- maintaining (PM) fibres. The company has also

taken over the complete development of customised fibre-optic modules. According to the company, it offers the highest
precision demanded especially in patch cords for short wavelengths that have low core and mode- field diameters in the range from 3-4µm. It is also able to process and use special fibres. The patch cords are suitable for applications in sensor technology or spectroscopy, in measurement modules, pump lasers, and data transmission.

MEDICAL INTERCONNECT SYSTEM LAUNCHED
The high-performance MediSpec Medical Plastic Circular (MPC) Interconnect System from Molex is now available from Mouser Electronics. These combine high levels of performance and ease-of-use to meet the stringent standards of medical devices, although they are also suitable for use in avionics, high-use entertainment equipment, and test and measurement devices. The Interconnect System uses the
Molex Low Force Helix (LFH) contact system, which helps ensure a reliable electrical interface over thousands of insertions. MediSpec connectors offer a simple push-pull engagement with optional locking sleeve for ease-of-use. They also have a lightweight medical- grade plastic housing on the standard male plug and panel-mount female receptacles, which can withstand medical industry sterilization processes, including autoclave, ethylene oxide (EtO), gamma and chemical. The pin field for both the plugs and receptacles are also factory-sealed. Available in 17-contact and 7-contact
systems, MediSpec connectors feature an operating voltage of 300 VRMS with a current rating of 1.6A (signal contact).
