Advertorials Performance meets reliability - GCT’s new
ultra-low profile vertical Micro USB GCT has pushed the performance of its industry leading range of vertical micro USB connectors by launching the USB3160, a new low profile SMT Micro USB vertical receptacle.
The new Vertical Micro USB connector has one of the lowest profiles available in the market at 5.20mm height above PCB, meeting the ever increasing demand for smaller and compact devices. This combined with enhanced high current rating for charging at 2.8A - a full 1A over standard products - making it perfect for fast charging application requirements.
The USB3160 is also more reliable than its rivals due to the positioning of the shell stakes. GCT engineers have identified that competing products have them very close
to SMT pads and pose a greater risk of short circuiting - the USB3160 avoids this problem with its cleverly designed shell stakes allowing for more space.
Several variants of the new vertical Micro USB connector are available from launch, including three different shell stake lengths at 0.70 1.20 and 1.70mm offering customers even greater flexibility for product designs.
“This is testament to GCTs continued commitment in pushing the performance of new and existing technologies within its product lines. The USB3160 continues this tradition by providing our lowest profile, high-power vertical Micro USB to the market with clear advantages over the competition,” commented David Luu, GCT Marketing Manager.

GCT launches the SIM7200, its most secure SIM
connector to date GCT further expands its world class SIM connector range with the all new SIM7200. It’s the first hinged micro SIM to feature in the GCT line-up and is expected to prove popular due to its versatility and competitive price point.
The active lock found on the SIM7200 gives it superior shock and vibration resistance versus other SIM connector styles and has been through rigorous testing to EIA industry standards. This makes it very useful for industrial and harsh environment applications where a consistent, robust connection is paramount.
It also gives customers greater flexibility in terms
of positioning and placement. Other SIM connector types are typically restricted to being designed on the edges of equipment but hinged variants can be positioned almost anywhere.
David Luu, GCT Marketing Manager commented, “There is a clear opportunity in the growing micro SIM (3FF) market for GCT to further establish itself as an industry leader in this sector. The new SIM7200 not only gives our customers a secure and reliable connection, but one at a very competitive price.”
The SIM7200 is now available with 6 contacts and a 1.75mm profile above the PCB. To learn more about GCT’s micro SIM connectors or to discuss specific design requirements please visit:

Advanced Interconnections adds 3.4mm stack height Mezza-pede®
Advanced Interconnections’ newest Mezza-pede®
SMT Connector, low
profile model DHAL, reduces board stack height by 15%. When paired with the mating socket, a z-axis stack height of 0.132 in. (3.4mm) is achievable – providing a reduction in package height and a shorter signal path in datacom and networking applications.

SMT Connector
protection degree IP 67 and IP 69K SCHURTER presents the new waterproof IEC connector consisting of the appliance inlet type 4761 and the rewireable cord connector type 4762. With its high protection class IP 67 or IP 69K connected or unconnected with cover, this appliance coupler is perfect for supplying power to appliances used in harsh environments such as industrial, marine, laboratories or any type of outdoor appliances.
The Push/Pull locking system provides a strong reliable connection, yet at the same time ensures a break-away cable in the event of overdue stress. The blue shape and color of the pull-out mechanism indicates the pull-out direction. A clear catch sound is heard upon the seated connection. The connector style is similar to the international standards of IEC and UL/CSA 60320, but is distinguished by a special arrangement of the contacts, so as not to interchange with conventional power cords. This ensures the maximum power applied, IP protection and the cord retention. The connector can be
temporarily submerged in water and can be cleaned with high-pressure hot water cleaners.
The waterproof appliance coupler set is VDE and UL/CSA approved. The rated current is according to IEC 10 A @ 250 VAC, according to UL/CSA 15 A @ 250 VAC. The maximum operating temperature is +120 °C. Quick connect terminal options for the inlet are 4.8 x 0.8 mm, 6.3 x 0.8 mm or solder. The cord connector can be assembled with cables from 6.0 - 10.0 mm, maximum wire size acc. to IEC 1.0 mm2, according to UL/CSA 14AWG (2.08 mm2).
The approvals of these connectors according to IEC/UL 60320 simplify the process for the equipment manufacturer to obtain approval of their appliances, because many equipment standards with respect to the power supply refers to these component standard.

HBM takes the strain out of PCB testing!
HBM - a market leader in the field of test and measurement - is pleased to announce the arrival of its new RF9 miniature rosette strain gauge, which is suitable for measurements on printed circuit boards (PCB), small components or applications with limited space.
Compact in size, the RF9 strain gauge rosette features a three stacked measurement grid which is only 5mm in size, enabling it to determine a biaxial stress state with unknown principal stress direction in confined spaces.
Easy to connect, the RF9 is pre-wired with colour- coded enamelled copper wires, eliminating the need for fiddly soldering on the strain gauge.
When it comes to printed circuit boards of electronic
components in automobiles, commercial vehicles, or smart phones in mobile use, even the slightest crack can cause the entire system to fail. As manufacturers increasingly require their suppliers to prove the mechanical safety of PCBs, strain gauges such as the RF9 from HBM enable the mechanical stability of printed circuits boards to be reliably tested.
HBM provides the complete measurement chain for such applications; from its extensive range of strain gauges; through to the QuantumX MX1615 amplifier and Catman® AP software for data acquisition and analysis. HBM also supports its customers with training and contract installation to ensure optimum operational use.
