PRODUCTS CABLES & CONNECTORS CABLE ENTRY SYSTEM LAUNCHED
New from CONTA-CLIP is KDSclick, a cable entry system that is said to minimise the time needed for deployment and achieves IP65 ingress protection. This comprises three basic components – frames, inlays and sealing sleeves – and is based on a robust but lightweight single-unit plastic frame. Creating frame openings
in the desired size is made easy with click-on inlays, which are available as simple partitions, as tees or as cross and double cross forms. 18 frame variants for different wiring requirements can be readily assembled this way. The company provides 39 different sealing elements to allow for the sealing of various wire diameters as well as feeding several cables through one frame opening. The conical shape of the sealing elements is said to be user-friendly – after sheathing a cable, the elements are fed from the inside of the cabinet to the outside through the frame openings created by the inlays. With the conical tapering, the sealing elements can be easily pushed into the frame openings/inlays. The sealing elements can, however, be easily removed if new or additional wiring is necessary, for example.

CONNECTORS Now available from Astute Electronics is EDAC’s E-Seal range of waterproof connectors. These use a proprietary epoxy process that seals the entire back of the connector rather than individual pins, resulting in complete sealing that guarantees no water ingress – they are fully tested to IP67 standards. The range includes D-sub
connectors from DB 9 to a maximum of 78 positions. Standard and high density footprints are available in vertical or right angle orientations; and plating options vary from gold flash to 30 micro-inches of gold. The combo power D-subs can carry up to 20A on the power pins. USB types A and B wire-to-wire devices use quarter turn twist-and-lock over- mould and O-ring to give the perfect seal every time. In addition, the USB Micro B units save board space.

SUBMINIATURE SOLUTIONS FOR MILITARY USE
Designed for the harsh conditions found in military and aerospace applications, TE Connectivity’s new Sealed AMPLIMITE D-subminiature connectors meet MIL-DTL-24308 specifications and have been successfully tested by TE at a submerged depth of 1m. Available in Europe
from TTI, these feature grommet sealing on the wire entry and a one- piece interfacial seal on the mating face, as well as internal connector sealant. In addition, both the AMPLIMITE IP67 Series 109 standard-density and AMPLIMITE IP67 Series 90 high density cable connectors exceed IP67 performance standards for water and dust ingress. Series 109 standard density accommodates
Size 20 contacts while the high density Series 90 uses Size 22 contacts. The Series 90 connectors are available in shell
sizes 15, 26, 44, 62, 78 and 104, and can be supplied with or without Size 22, wire range 22-28 AWG, AS39029 QPL contacts. Contact current rating is 5A. Series 109 connectors are available in shell sizes nine, 15, 25, 37 and 50 and can be supplied with Size 20 copper alloy, gold over nickel contacts rated at 7.5A. They
accommodate a wire range between 24 – 20 AWG. Operating temperature range is -55˚C to +125˚C.

An ‘ultra-miniature’ connector has been added to Fischer Connectors’ miniature high-density product range. The new MiniMax 06 can include up to 12 power and signal contacts in a footprint of only 10mm, which corresponds to a density factor of 0.83. This also has two signal and two high-power 1.3mm contacts for applications needing 10A or more
power, doubling the standard 5A current rating of the existing MiniMax product line. Easy to use and suitable for harsh environments, the new connector is also available as a pre-cabled solution. It is, the company explains, suited to handheld or body-worn applications when space is limited, in such fields as defence & security, instrumentation, testing equipment, and civil or military unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), among many others.

ETHERNET AND MINI CONNECTORS EXTEND RANGE
A number of new connectors have recently been introduced by HARTING, including the US4 (pictured above) which incorporates an integrated Ethernet switch. According to the company, this is the first device in which switch functionality resides directly in the connector, making it possible to network four EtherNet/IP or PROFINET nodes with transmission speeds of up to 1000 Mbit/s. This also has integrated LEDs to
provide quick and easy power and network diagnostics for individual ports, displaying both the presence of the Ethernet connection as well as ongoing data exchange and the associated speed information. In addition, the module automatically detects the send/receive lines of connected devices and finds the correct settings for the lines. In conjunction with the 10Base-T and 100Base-Tx interfaces, it autonomously corrects polarity errors in wire pairs and reverses the polarity of the data signal. It also allows two connected Ethernet nodes to autonomously negotiate and configure the maximum data transfer rate – up to 1000 Mbit/s incrementally – as well as the type of transmission, i.e. half-duplex or full duplex. Also new are the har-flex THR connectors which are not only designed to meet the demands of harsh industrial conditions but are said to achieve new levels of industrial-grade miniaturisation without decreasing reliability. The new connectors provide a miniaturised contact pitch of 1.27mm while also ensuring an extremely stable connection to the PCB. THR stands for ‘through hole reflow’ and describes the termination technology using binders attached laterally (soldering studs). This makes them extremely well suited to demanding mechanical applications which previously required larger connectors, the company explains.
