PRODUCTS INTERCONNECTION NEW FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT CONNECTORS SPEED INSTALLATION TIME
resulting in a time saving of up to 30 days on an average installation of half a million connectors. Omron’s XF Series FPC connectors include devices with double sided contacts to maintain a stable contact force, special rotary lock mechanisms and small on-board size. The rotary backlock
A
new series of Flexible Printed Circuit Connectors, designed for
miniaturised products is now available in Europe from TTI, Inc. The Omron XF-Series FPCs feature a backlock mechanism, which is claimed cuts approximately two seconds from the installation time of each connector when compared to similar products,
mechanism on this range offers a number of key features and benefits. The rotary latch is independent of the FPC socket so it does not disconnect if the device is lifted and mounting reliability is enhanced because it is held in a four-sided housing, which prevents any displacement. All except two
models in this series have dual contacts, which removes the necessity to distinguish between upper and lower contacts when connecting upper and lower PCBs. Unlike traditional FPC connectors, this series of interconnects are delivered with the rotary latch open for additional installation speed. These connectors suit a wide
number of applications, including almost all devices with an LCD display, robotics, mobiles devices, LCD TVs and tablets, cameras and music players, surveillance cameras, ultrasound and X-Ray equipment, automotive infotainment systems, electricity meters and maritime equipment.

BOARD-TO-BOARD
The new RotaConnect rotatable board-to- board connector from Amphenol FCI are now available in Europe at TTI Inc. This interconnect features a “mate to itself” hermaphroditic design and can be connected at any angle between 90 0
and -60 0 , yet has a dual beam
contact, which ensures reliable connection. Its self-guided design ensures correct positioning and prevents mis-mating. Electrical performance includes a current
FIREWIRE, BNC AND HDMI MODELS ADDED TO RANGE OF DATA CONNECTORS
Cliff Electronics’ range of XLR-Format Feedthrough Data Connectors has been further increased with the addition of Firewire, HDMI A-A and 50Ohm BNC versions. The company’s FT connector range is designed to fit into the industry standard 24mm diameter XLR connector panel cutout, which can help simplify panel design and manufacture and improve design aesthetics. The new models have rugged zinc/nickel XLR housings,
that may be front or rear mounted to control panels and the Firewire and HDMI models may be specified with an optional
socket sealing cover to prevent the ingress of dust when not in use or when in transit. The company’s FT connector range enables integration of audio, video, digital, optical, networking and data feeds into professional equipment for broadcast, lighting, audio and industrial applications. These new additions join the company’s growing range of feed-through connectors, which are all packaged
in the widely used 24mm diameter XLR connector format and depending on model, are available in black plastic or with a rugged die cast aluminium fascia, finished in nickel or black. Other models in the range provide Digital and Optical Feed-Through connectivity in formats including:
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. Also available are all popular data and Ethernet connectors including USB 2.0 and 3.0, LC and SC fibre (Duplex & Simplex), UTP and FTP RJ45s in both Cat6 and Cat5e (shielded and unshielded), Toslink, RCA Phono and HDMI and blanking plates.
