PRODUCTS INTERCONNECTION NEW SERIES REDUCES MTBF WHILE INCREASING RESISTANCE TO FRETTING


improved contact resistance stability (25% better than COTS after test cycle) and high resistance to fretting. This is claimed lowers total system cost by increasing Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) by approximately 40%. The series is COTS compatible,


T


he launch of a high performance COTS Plus 2mm hard metric


connector for Compact PCI applications has been announced by Smiths Connectors. The Aurora Series features enhanced gold plating with 1.27μm coverage on contact mating surfaces. This gold thickness provides durability,


allowing for reduced non-recurring costs due to common tooling and board layout. Additionally, it is lubricant-free which can reduce the occurrence of secondary contamination while offering electrical stability throughout the product’s life. Developed for both telecom and aerospace applications, this series is designed to perform in operating environments that feature extremely harsh conditions.


“The Aurora connector Series


illustrates Smiths Connectors commitment to designing and delivering the most comprehensive interconnect solutions portfolio available to the global customer community,” said Jeffrey Dick, Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Smiths Interconnect. “We listen to the voices of our customers, critically examine market conditions and respond by introducing high- reliability solutions that exceed expectation. This robust, hard metric connector series is designed to be rugged, versatile and embody the functionality needed to successfully address rapidly evolving industry requirements.” www.smithsconnectors.com


NEW PEGGED VERSIONS


RS Components has added more than 600 Amphenol FCI connector and cable assembly product lines to its portfolio. The move follows the acquisition of connector and cable assembly manufacturer FCI by Amphenol in June 2016, with the merged operation subsequently rebranded as Amphenol FCI, or AFCI. A notable AFCI product addition is the


HIGH-SPEED BACKPLANE CONNECTOR SYSTEM OFFERS HIGH SPEED AND PERFORMANCE


Samtec has expanded its High-Speed Backplane Connector System, which the company advises is optimised for high-density and high-speed performance. The company’s latest scalable ExaMAX system is well suited to handle today’s level of data rates while providing a future-proof path for next generation architectures. The ExaMAX header and right-angle receptacle system (EBTM/EBTF-RA Series) is said to be optimised for


speeds up to 28Gbps on a 2.00mm column pitch or 56Gbps on a 3.00mm column pitch. For 28Gbps performance, the company points out that this system meets and exceeds OIF-CEI-28G-LR specifications. Return loss compliance is achieved in both 85Ω and 100Ω systems due to targeting the 92Ω specifications and controlling reflections at all geometry transitions within the connector. This connector system is claimed to have one of the industry’s lowest mating forces with very good normal


force and meets Telcordia GR-1217 CORE specifications. With two reliable points of contact at all times, even when subjected to angled mating, residual stub is claimed to be minimised for improved signal integrity performance. A 2.4mm contact wipe increases reliability while the hermaphroditic mating interface ensures stub-free mating and reliable alignment. The backplane system features individual signal wafers with differential pairs in a staggered design and is


arranged in columns with zero skew. Each wafer includes a one-piece embossed ground structure, which increases isolation to significantly decrease crosstalk. The 2.00mm-pitch, 40-differential-pair design (4 pairs x 10 columns) and the 72-differential-pair design (6 pairs x 12 columns) are now available. A 3.00mm- column-pitch design for 56Gbps performance is in development. Optional add-on power modules support high current delivery with current ratings as high as 80A per


module. Hot-swapping support comes from various pin staging options for detecting shorts. Optional discrete guidance modules are available to assist with blind mating. www.samtec.com


Rotaconnect range of rotatable board-to- board SMT connectors, including new-to- market pegged versions designed to simplify placement. This device can be used to make perpendicular, coplanar and angled connections. A hermaphroditic “mates to itself” design allows mating and disengaging at any angle between 90° and –60°, so the connectors can be placed anywhere on a PCB. Typical Rotaconnect applications include


control boards, sensors, actuators, rigid LED strips, automotive lighting, channel lettering and lighting luminaires. www.rs-online.com


New from binder are M12 A-coded connectors. These devices are suited to applications in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries and all types of industrial food processing. High-quality materials such as stainless steel and special plastics are used with contours that are as smooth as possible to prevent dirt adhesion. In addition, a high protection class (IP68 and IP69K) is provided to meet with the requirements of high pressure cleaning with aggressive chemicals. The new range includes moulded and angled male and female cable connectors www.binder-connector.co.uk


Huber+Suhner has recently launched its Sucoflex 526V assembly, which is the first member of the company’s 500V family of high performance cable assemblies designed for test & measurement applications up to 26.5GHz. These products have been developed to provide an ideal solution for precise measurements in critical laboratory conditions. The Company advises, the first product from


this family is a VNA microwave cable assembly with a maximum phase variation of 50ppm between temperatures of 15°C and 30°C. This device is claimed to show no “PTFE phase knee” at 19°C as opposed to conventional VNA test cable assemblies, which cause phase variations

NEW HIGH PERFORMANCE CABLE ASSEMBLIES FOR TEST AND MEASUREMENT “We are proud of our new Sucoflex 526V


and unstable measurements in lab conditions. The cable assemblies are said to be extremely


flexible, easy to use and have zero spring back, facilitating a smooth design and efficient handling during measurement. Setting a new standard with regards to return loss, the measurement stability of these assemblies delivers a high level of phase and amplitude stability with flexure, movement, temperature and tensile stress. “Performance, stability and reliability is what


matters most in demanding environments where products are subject to severe operating conditions,” said Dora Apostolou, Application Engineer at Huber+Suhner.


family and excited to show how it answers the demands of the test and measurement industry for phase stable assemblies versus bending and temperature solutions.” The ruggedised construction is claimed


maximises both torque and crush resistance, whilst the 3.5mm precision connector is extremely robust and keeps the centre conductor always in the exact same position. Every detail of the test assemblies has been accurately designed in order to guarantee the most faultless and reliable performance in test and measurement environments. www.hubersuhner.com
