Advertorials Amphenol’s new Rugged Connector Series is ideal


use in harsh environments Amphenol’s LPT series is lightweight, intermateable


Amphenol Industrial Operations, a global leader in interconnect systems, has expanded its product range to include a new series of rugged connectors for use in harsh environments. The LPT (Lean PT) series is ideal for use in factory automation, automotive, hybrid electric vehicles/electric vehicles, energy storage, power distribution, industrial instrumentation and process control applications.


Based on Amphenol’s MIL-C-26482 series I and the original PT series, the lightweight LPT has an aluminium shell design. This metal connector, with improved structure, also features a standard PT shell with coupling nut, making it intermateable


LEMO exhibited its new innovative broadcast


products at BVE 2018 LEMO exhibited two new innovative products at the Broadcast Video Expo 2018.


The first of these new products being launched by LEMO at the show was a new range of 3K.93C SMPTE 304M connectors. This product is the next generation version of LEMO’s industry-standard HD camera connectors which offers users the additional benefits of a lower total cost of ownership.


The second new product launched by LEMO at the show was its Compact Splice Tray (CST).


with the PT series. The LPT includes three retention tines with stamped and formed crimp contacts that can easily be inserted and ensure retention force.


LPT connectors accept wire gauges from 22 AWG/0.34mm² to 12 AWG/3.5mm², have quick positive coupling and 5 key/keyway mating to ensure that users don’t mismate when plugging into a receptacle. They are waterproof to IP67 standard and self-extinguishing to UL94 V-0. They can withstand 500 mating cycles and have an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C


Amphenol’s LPT connectors are available in five shell styles, including box mounting, jam nut, straight plug, wall mounting and cable connecting receptacles. The connectors are also available in a variety of finishes, including black zinc, nickel and gray zinc nickel. All are RoHS compliant. Contacts are available in gold, nickel or tin plated. Multiple shell plating options are available upon request.

GCTs MEM2075 push-pushes slim MicroSD Connectors to the limit


GCT has released the MEM2075, one of the slimmest memory card connectors in the market with a push-push ejector type. The MicroSD connector has a profile height of just 1.4mm making it a super-slim option for engineers where there are space limitations and height is a defining feature in their designs. The product length with card inserted is also a mere 17.25mm, adding to its credentials.


As well as the compact form factor, co-planarity is less than 0.08mm, ensuring profile is kept to a minimum on a PCB. Four PCB retention tabs in “V” profile also give the MEM2075 maximum mechanical strength versus competing products.


The connector is available in a stainless steel cover and latch with SMT contacts. A card detection switch is present in normally open configuration, with PCB locating pegs as an option. Operating temperature is between -25°C to +85°C and the connector has been tested to 5000 mating cycles.


“The MEM2075 takes the conventional MicroSD connector and pushes the boundaries on the physical dimensions,” commented Paul Hulatt, Product Manager GCT. “Being one of the slimmest connectors in class, it’s a great addition to the GCT Memory Card Connector range and offers our customers greater flexibility with their designs where product height is critical.”


In the face of device miniaturisation and the quest to have lighter, slimmer and more compact electronics, the requirement for smaller connectors remains strong. From portable electronics to wearable tech, the MEM2075 MicroSD connector is ideal for applications where space consideration is required.

Rittal cooling units now with new output class Rittal’s Blue e+ cooling units are acknowledged as the most


efficient of their kind on the market. Independent tests have shown they are – incredibly - 75 per cent more energy efficient than previous cooling solutions.


On the back of this success, the company is now extending the Blue e+ range. The new unit to be launched in the first quarter of 2018 will provide an output class as low as 1.6 kW, extending the existing range of between 2 to 6kW.


Blue e+ units will be on the Rittal stand (D720) at Drives and Controls 2018.


“This new unit is an important milestone for the Blue e+ cooling unit range and is designed to increase the flexibility of our offering and meet a growing need for compact cooling units for efficient enclosure climate control,” explains Karl Lycett, Rittal’s product manager for climate.


The Blue e+ cooling units feature inbuilt, innovative, patented hybrid technology. This combines an inverter driven cooling circuit with an independent heat pipe to provide passive cooling. This has a significant role in delivering the unit’s exceptionally high efficiency ratings.


The inverter driven cooling circuit of the new Blue e+ range is also rated as highly energy efficient. Frequency converters precisly adjust the speed of the DC motors controlling the fans and compressor via voltage control, which allows the cooling output to be tailored to the current environmental requirements and deliver demand based cooling. This results in a significant reduction of energy consumption over conventional solutions.


All the units in the new range can be operated in all standard grids worldwide thanks to the innovative multi-voltage capability. Permissible input voltage ranges from 110 V (single-phase) to 480 V (three-phase) in conjunction with a mains frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

WiFi enabled video brochures Anglo American print specialist Curveball Printed Media have announced the launch of their WiFi enabled video brochures with Android Operating System and touch-screen user interface


Adam Hazelwood, their CEO, stated, "The second generation of video brochures has arrived. Our customers can now update brochures already in the hands of their clients or users by uploading content over the internet using a desktop app'".


This advance in technology expands the scope of video brochures beyond the traditional B2B marketing arena and into sectors such as training, education, customer communications and market research. Hazelwood went on the say "Not only is it environmentally sound to refresh content over the internet, it saves our clients a huge amount of money and opens doors to a broader audience."


Traditional video brochures have been sold for around seven years. They come in a variety of LCD screen sizes and print formats with video content stored in the flash memory of the device and controlled using button icons located on the screen console. They are used mainly for reaching hard to find senior executives and influencers in the buying cycle.


The new WiFi enabled brochure has the functionality of the Android OS at its fingertips, the touch-screen acting as the user interface in the same way it does on a smart-phone or tablet. This evolves the product from an essentially dumb terminal to a bespoke communications device printed in the livery of the sponsoring organization but at a fraction of the cost of an iPad.


Hazelwood concluded "The possibilities for this platform are endless. Initially we see early adoption from areas where relevant content is fast moving such as large organization training and the real estate sector, however it won't be long before restaurants and large charity events will be using them as printed menus with on-board ordering and payment capabilities along with a means of entering a charity auction".
