TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL
LED backlight colours with Active
Reflector Technology™
whole rainbow of new LED backlight colours to be produced, including magentas and blue-greens. Previously the only way to achieve non-standard LED colours was to use RGB colour mixing, which involves three times as many chips, complex wiring and requires drive circuitry to control the relative channel levels. OMC’s new series of profiled backlights with
O Active Reflector Technology™
produces a striking range of vivid, next-generation LED backlight colours, and gives designers far greater creative choice and flexibility. OMC’s new ART series backlights are available in crimson red, rose pink, a strong red-orange, bright orange, amber yellow, pastel yellow, high brightness yellow/green, vivid green, deep green, electric green-blue, a classic rich LED blue and a strong, bright shade of magenta.

MIL-DTL-38999 Circular Connectors available in many shell materials, finishes and contacts
L
ane Electronics, a leading distributor of electrical and electronic connector products supplies a range of circular connectors that meet the requirements of MIL-DTL-38999 SERIES III making them suitable for a wide variety of demanding applications. Manufactured by Souriau, these are high density, threaded coupling connectors available in a wide
range of shell materials including aluminium, composite, marine bronze and stainless steel. In addition, Lane Electronics can supply these MIL-DTL-38999 connectors in different finishes including RoHS compliant, black Zinc Nickel and Zinc Cobalt plating.
A high power version is now finding wide application in electric vehicle and hybrid automotive applications. These feature single power contacts that can handle up to 850A and are designed to withstand the harsh environments found in automotive applications.
Lane Electronics can supply standard 38999 connectors with all the usual contact types and can also assemble custom connectors that incorporate signal, power, high power, coax, triax, quadrax and Elio fibre optic contacts from its substantial stock profile of Souriau 38999 products and piece parts. Souriau’s Elio fibre optic contacts are ideal for high speed networks in harsh environments. The contacts are easy to install and terminate and require no special tooling. Lane Electronics also has available a range of accessories including protective caps in a wide choice of plating options with the choice of steel wire rope or nylon cords. The company offers full QPL certification at no extra cost and requires no minimum order quantities
(MOQ). Lane is an ideal source for all key connector types including circular, filtered, RF, coaxial, sub – miniature, backshells and adaptors, D connectors, aerospace, test & measurement, IDC, PCB connectors, edge connectors and connectors for rack and panel applications.

Samtec Releases New FMC+ Connector Set Compliant to ANSI/VITA 57.4-2016
amtec, a privately held $625MM global manufacturer of a broad line of electronic interconnect solutions, proudly announces the release of a high-speed board-to- board connector family compliant to the ANSI/VITA 57.4- 2016 standard. Samtec’s family of FMC+ connectors helps support the expanded interface and faster speeds of the latest FMC+ applications. The new ANSI/VITA 57.4-2016 standard extends the capabilities of ANSI/VITA 57.1-2010 in support of the increased number and data rates of multi-gigabit interfaces found in advanced FPGA architectures.
S Highlights of the new standard include:
• Increases multi-gigabit interfaces from 10 to 32 • Increases multi-gigabit interface data rates from 10 Gbps to 28Gbps • Maintain backwards compatibility with VITA 57.1 FMC modules
The new ANSI/VITA 57.4-2016 standard defines two mated connected pairs that embody the new FMC+ electromechanical interface. A new High Serial Pin Count (HSPC) connector contains 560 pins arranged in a 14x40 array. The HSPC connector supports up to 24 multi-gigabit interfaces. A second, optional High Serial Pin Count extension (HSPCe) connector contains 80 pins in a 4x20 array. The HSPCe connector supports up to 8 additional multi-gigabit interfaces. The combination of HSPC and HSPCe connectors enable support of up to 32 multi-gigabit interfaces. With each multi-gigabit interface running up to 28 Gbps, the ANSI/VITA 57.4-2016 specifications provides maximum system level throughput of 896 Gbps via the 32 channels. ANSI/VITA 57.4-2016 also supports backwards compatibility for ANSI/VITA 57.1-2010 FMC modules.
The HSPC connector uses a customized polarization system enabling proper mating with FMC HPC and LPC connectors. HSPC connectors provide additional columns compared to legacy FMC connectors. This design approach enables additional signals without compromising board profiles or mechanics. “Samtec’s SEARAY™ High-Density Open Pin Field Arrays set the standard for high-speed mezzanine applications,” said Matt Burns, Technical Marketing Manager at Samtec. “The Application Specific Product (ASP) versions of SEARAY™ adopted by VITA 57.4 support the growing FMC+ ecosystem in applications as diverse as high-speed ADCs and DACs, next generation RF connectivity, high-speed serial memory and high-density fiber optics.”

Amphenol Titanium HTC connectors for aero-engines
Titanium provides the strength of steel but can save 30% on weight
stute Electronics, the leading supplier of electronic components and value added services, has introduced the Amphenol Titanium HTC range of aero-
engine connectors that made their first appearance at this year’s Farnborough Air Show.
Aero-engines provide one of the harshest environments for connectors and interconnection systems. This precludes the use of standard plated aluminium alloy connectors and has led to the use of stainless steel as standard. Steel provides excellent strength and temperature stability but is significantly heavier than aluminium and this is a major disadvantage in an application where weight is a significant factor. To address this issue, Amphenol Titanium HTC connectors are based on EN2997 and have been designed to meet the requirements of Rolls-Royce specifications ESC20 and ESC21. Titanium offers comparable performance to stainless steel but is significantly lighter leading to an approximate 30% weight saving on assembled connectors.
