8X CABLES INCREASES PORT DENSITY T


he Nano-Pitch I/O Interconnect System portfolio from Molex has been expanded with the addition of 8X cables and XD (eXtra Durable) vertical board mounted connectors. Delivering data speed rates of 25 Gbps per lane, the system is said to offer industry- leading port density and multi- protocol support to internal storage, server and mobile/enterprise applications. The XD board


receptacles are offered as both 4X and 8X and use 4 through-hole pins for maximum robustness. Bob Wagner, group product


manager, Molex, said: “The Nano- Pitch 8X Interconnect System meets industry’s rising data transfer needs with increased port density and speed to solve space and performance issues into the future.” Providing enhanced data speed and signal integrity in a compact


MINIATURE MEANS LESS WEIGHT AND SAVES SPACE


form factor, the multi-protocol Nano-Pitch I/O Interconnect System is compatible with all known SAS, SATA and PCIe protocols, including PCIe Gen 4 (16 GT/s) and SAS 4 (24 Gbps). The system features a flexible pinout concept (continuous Ground- Signal-Signal-Ground) optimised for high-speed applications and maximizing the number of high- speed lanes within the lengths provided. Eight lanes (8X) are available, per industry standard. The small form factor (5mm ×


23mm × 9mm) and a 12mm mated connector-to-cable assembly height for right angle cable exit allow the Nano-Pitch I/O System to meet the 14.47mm height for components on PCIe add-in cards. This makes it suitable for systems servicing mobile devices through enterprise applications. www.molex.com


M12 A-CODED MOULDED CONNECTORS FOR POWER NEEDS


Circular connector manufacturer, binder, has added to its M12 A-coded moulded connectors. The new versions are four pole cable connectors that are rated up to 8A and 250V and which will find use across high power applications including those with motors, drives and control systems. When mated, the connectors offer protection to IP67, so suit demanding environments. Available immediately, binder is offering these


new circular connectors as either a single ended version with a male or female polyurethane over- moulded connector with a nickel-plated die-cast zinc locking ring, or as a double-ended version with a male and female connector in either 2 or 5m lengths. Other lengths will be available on request. The polyurethane jacketed 5mm cable has


polyurethane core insulation and can handle temperatures up to 90C. Contacts are made from gold-plated brass. www.binder-connector.co.uk


An ultra-miniature 8STA circular connector series and a package of ultra-lightweight 8STA compatible accessories is announced by Lane Motorsport. The Souriau size 01 8STA connector is said to offer a 20% saving in size and weight over the popular size 02 series while maintaining the same performance advantages – including anti-vibration design and resistance to motorsport fluids. According to Lane Motorsport, these size 01 connectors accommodate three removable #26 contacts that can handle wires from 24 to 30 AWG. Other features of the connectors include seven colour-coded orientations, PCB options and a boot termination feature. For even more weight saving, a single flange version is available. The size 01 8STA interconnection package features accessories made by HellermannTyton and Weald Electronics. These include protective caps, gaskets, nut plates, heat shrink boots as well as the assembly tools. For example, Weald Electronics’


aluminium protective caps are ultra- lightweight, feature an anti-vibration locking design and the size 01 caps are about 50% lighter than the standard size 02. HellermannTyton’s size 01 heat shrink, strain-relieving boots for backshell to cable transitions are adhesive lined and made from fuel- proof material. www.lanemotorsport.com


XLR CONNECTORS FEATURE DUAL USB2.0 AND USB3.0 SOCKETS


Cliff Electronics has added dual USB2.0 and USB3.0 24mm Mounting (Rectangular) connectors to its range of XLR format standard and Feedthrough connectors. The dual USB XLR format connectors are available with two different housings, either a rectangular 24mm version or the Series 5 model which has a 21.9mm diameter circular design. Both feature dual USB2.0 and USB3.0 compliant sockets. Output connection header pins are configured to facilitate either direct soldering to PCBs or connection by header cable. Cliff is happy to provide customers with standard or custom designed header cables to meet individual system requirements.


The Cliff XLR format connector range allows


designers to design panels using a single standard XLR cut out to integrate data, networking, digital,

optical audio and video data feeds into professional equipment for home automation and lighting, audio, broadcast and industrial applications. The new dual USB2.0 and USB3.0 XLR format


connectors from Cliff join the range which provides Analogue, Digital and Optical connectivity in formats including Firewire, HDMI A-A and 50 ohm BNC versions, USB2 A-to-B and B-to-A “gender change” sockets high speed USB Type – C, USB3 to USB3 in all gender changing configurations - A-A, A-B and B-A. Cliff’s XLR format connectors are simple to


mount into any panel designed to accept XLR connectors including instrumentation, control and rack panels, wall-plates, etc. For ease of assembly, the connectors are available with standard or countersunk mounting holes.
