T series – the next generation of industry standard push-pull connectors launched by LEMO
6
0 years ago, Léon Mouttet an innovative engineer and
entrepreneur, who founded LEMO, invented a revolutionary latching system. This invention was initiated from a personal problem he had encountered as he found that connectors accidentally disconnected when he undertook wildlife photography.
LEMO launched the first ever range of push-pull connectors, offering customers a user-friendly and fail-safe alternative to the traditional screw or bayonet locking systems available at the time. This revolutionary product was an immediate success and was soon adopted as a global industry standard across many hi-tech applications from photographic equipment to nuclear research.
Over the years, the original latching system had been continuously refined to optimise performance and the connector range expanded to meet the specific requirements of an ever-increasing list of niche applications. Today, LEMO B series connectors are the product of choice for professionals working in hi-tech industries where failure is not an option. To the customers ever evolving
requirements, environmentally sealed variants of the original B series connectors have been introduced. These new K series variants utilise many of the standard B series internal components and therefore customers selecting these sealed connectors benefit from the economies of scale from the established standard global demand. However, to accommodate the requirements for additional seals and the introduction of an epoxy sealing compound, these new K series variants utilised slightly larger outer body designs. As more applications move towards a
requirement for sealed connectors, LEMO has developed the next generation of
standard push-pull connectors. These T series connectors have been specifically designed for customers of the standard B series connectors, who now need the additional performance benefits of environmental sealing to IP68 in the mated condition without any compromises in space or backwards compatibility. The LEMO T series range of standard connectors includes a vast array of options to meet all customer needs. Designers can now upgrade systems without the concerns of backwards compatibility, as the same mounting requirements make it fully interchangeable with the B series. In addition, T series plugs are intermateable with existing B series sockets, enabling customers to easily support older installed equipment.
LEMO connectors are manufactured in highly automated state-of-the-art factories to exacting quality standards, using precision processes and specialist equipment. Furthermore, LEMO products and processes have been optimised over several generations and undergone lengthy tests to ensure they are fit for purpose. Customers who purchase connectors manufactured with a distinctive LEMO “chocolate box” grip can be assured of the highest levels of reliability and performance.

Lightweight microwave cables from HUBER+SUHNER can be easily field terminated
H
UBER+SUHNER announces the Eacon family of field terminated microwave cables designed specifically for applications in the aerospace, defence and industrial sectors. Eacon cables are robust, lightweight and suitable for frequencies up to 18GHz and, once terminated, Eacon assemblies feature both extremely low losses and excellent return losses and are watertight to IP68. Other key features include ease of installation, a small bending radius and, importantly, no abrupt phase change over temperature for increased system accuracy. According to the company, this also allows for stable system performance over multiple temperature cycles. Eacon connectors comprise just two components and when used with the Eacon installation kit, the field assembly of a high-performance microwave connection is both easy and fast. Also, the option of retrofitting the connectors allows installation of the cable in the narrowest of cable ducts as well as precision cutting of the cable to length on site. This provides significant advantages during installation in cramped spaces or when retrofitting microwave components.

Smiths Interconnect launches latest components and assemblies at the Paris Airshow 2017 including high performance ground and airbourne antenna systems
S
miths Interconnect - who recently announced the transition of its technology
brands, EMC Technology, Hypertac, IDI, Lorch, Millitech, RF Labs, Sabritec, TECOM and TRAK under a single brand identity - will exhibit its largest range of components, assemblies and systems at the Paris Airshow this year, in Hall 2B, Stand C31. The attendance is an
KuStream 1000 Series within the Ku Band Antenna System from SMITHS INTERCONNECT
opportunity to showcase a comprehensive high performance portfolio of innovative connectivity solutions providing customers with a single point of supply across multiple markets. Previously, the Paris Airshows were attended by the Connectors business unit of Smiths Interconnect (Hypertac, IDI and Sabritec brands) with a focus on connector solutions. This year, in addition, to the greatly enhanced connector product offering, customers will be able to explore a vast portfolio of rugged cable assemblies,
integrated microwave and millimetre-wave components, assemblies and systems, high performance ferrites, RF devices as well as time and frequency systems. Furthermore, high performance ground and airborne antenna systems for SATCOM with the KuStream ranges will be prominently displayed. Radio link, radar, telemetry, and high bandwidth connectivity are also available for applications within the commercial aviation market.

High-performance UHF RFID 4 field reader with M12 and M8 connections
H
ARTING has expanded its UHF RFID product range for demanding industrial and rail sector applications with the addition of a new version of the 4 Field Reader, featuring built-in M8 and M12 connectors to complement its excellent range of RFID solutions. In addition to the existing features of the compact, robust Ha-VIS RF-R3x0 reader – notably the two antenna connections, 500 mW power output and comprehensive software functions - the new Ha-VIS RF-R400 RFID Reader provides concentrated RFID performance and robust connectors at an attractive price. The built-in circular connectors now
provide interfaces for networking, power supply, RS232, two digital trigger signal inputs and four digital signal outlets. The four antenna connections, each with a maximum power output of 2 W, remain in the usual SMA format. The standard HARTING RFID reader functions such as “action on EPC” (Electronic Product Code), where the reader can process scanning results autonomously and respond by switching outlets, are also included in the reader’s comprehensive software provision.
In terms of software, the RF-R400 is fully compatible with the powerful GS1 ALE 1.1 based HARTING middleware. The new reader is supported as usual by the server version, Ha-VIS Middleware and the embedded version for the RF-R350, enabling easy processing of raw data and saving unnecessary expense in the back- end system. The new reader meets the requirements of the industrial and rail markets, which HARTING verifies by monitoring in its own independent and accredited test laboratory. It is particularly suited to rail applications such as track section recognition.
