positive housing locks. These connectors also feature a split- box terminal design which offers six independent points of contact to provide long-term reliability through secondary current-path redundancy. The power-dense split-box

olex has expanded its current- carrying capabilities up to


23.0A with its new Mega-fit power connectors, now available in Europe at TTI, Inc. The new power connectors provide high current density and feature isolated terminals, polarised housings and


row spacing to produce more power per linear and square millimetre. As well as maximum current of 23.0A, electrical specifications include maximum voltage of 600V and contact resistance of 6milliohms. As there are six independent points of contact, the four


redundant or sacrificial contacts allow the system to be “hot plugged” at 48V/23.0A for up to 30 cycles. Further features include an extended barrel conductor crimp providing extremely strong terminal-to-wire retention, offering the assurance of long- term reliability. Fully isolated header pins and receptacle terminals protect against any potential damage during handling and mating. To confirm that the receptacle


and header are securely retained, these power connectors have positive locking housings which make an audible click when in the correct mating position. www.ttieurope.com


SELF-ASSEMBLY CABLE CONNECTORS FOR CUSTOM CABLE ASSEMBLIES


New self-assembly 1.27mm pitch connectors from Harting, designed for the connection of PCBs using custom-length cable assemblies are equipped with IDC (Insulation Displacement Connection) termination technology. This makes electrical contact via insulation displacement contacts that cut through the jacket of the ribbon cable and establishes a secure, gas-tight connection. Due to guide grooves incorporated into the


NEW K-TYPE THERMOCOUPLE CONNECTOR FEATURING SPRING TERMINAL


A new K-type thermocouple connector from TE Connectivity (TE), incorporates a special spring terminal concept that is claimed ensures superior connectivity compared with the traditional screw type termination. The push-on lock allows easy mating and secure locking, with the shape of the metal-locking mechanism preventing unintentional un-mating. The touch-proof design supports an ingress protection rating of IP20. The new connector supports free-hanging and panel- mounted solutions. TE’s K-type thermocouple connector combines a space-saving compact design with high reliability.


up to 2200


Not only does the high mating retention force prevent unintentional un-mating, but there is also an audible click when the connector is mated; once mated, the spring clamp contact provides a stable contact force. Furthermore, the connector enhances productivity, since the spring clamp solution considerably reduces the time needed to make the wire termination, compared to current screw termination solutions. This new K-type thermocouple connector has an operating temperature range stretching from minus 200 C. Typical applications include semiconductor machinery, injection moulding machines, and machine

insulating moulding, the ribbon cable is securely and precisely guided through the cable duct. As a result, the individual stranded wires of the ribbon cable always contact the correct insulation displacement terminal. The connectors are designed for use with 30AWG ribbon cable. www.harting.co.uk


Electronic Excellence has been appointed as a franchised distributor for binder to focus on the markets in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Based in Lurgan County Armagh, Electronic Excellence will offer the full portfolio of binder connectors. David Phillips, UK MD of binder, said: “At


binder we are delighted to appoint Electronic Excellence. The company’s deep understanding of the regional market and technical knowledge will allow us to better serve customers and develop market potential throughout the whole of Ireland.” www.binder-connector.co.uk


IP68 CONNECTOR RANGE LAUNCHED FOR WATERPROOF APPLICATIONS


New IP68 waterproof connectors featuring a one-piece construction to reduce the possibility of incorrect assembly have been released by CamdenBoss. The heavy duty, robust and strong


CPWP3 range features an integrated terminal block design so there are no small parts that might be dropped. This makes them ideal for use in field cable joining applications where losing parts can create difficulties. The compact design ensures ease of installation with colour-coded screws/terminals making wiring up easy, while the inclusion of Braille points ensures correct

identification of connections in low light. The CPWP3 range includes three models – a


waterproof field assembly T connector, a waterproof field assembly in-line connector and a 3-pole waterproof panel mount connector. Specifications include voltage and current ratings of 250V/16A, contact resistance of 10mΩ, insulation resistance of 500MΩ at 500V DC and temperature rating from -40 to 105°C. Contact/terminal material is nickel-plated


brass and size OD (outside diameter) range for the T and in-line connectors is 5.5mm to 8.5mm. For the panel mount connector, minimum wire size OD is 6mm, 10mm maximum. www.camdenboss.com
