Tyco Electronics Adds DIN Rail Mounting Kit
for Mod Jacks
Installation Kit Makes Structured Cabling a Snap in Industrial
Cabinets
May
2008—The DIN Rail Modular Jack Installation Kit simplifies the task
of applying structured cabling systems to industrial cabinets and
factory applications. The kit includes a plastic rail-mount adapter,
shielded modular jack, and two tie wraps. The AMP-TWIST 6S SL
Modular Jack fits snugly in the adapter, which features cable strain
relief and an angled configuration, so that the jack interface is at
a 45-degree downwards angle for easier management in the cabinet.
The AMP-TWIST 6S SL Modular Jack meets Category 6A performance
requirements, making it compatible with applications up to 10 Gb/s.
The jacks are rugged, can be reused, and feature a slim profile for
superior density. The jack’s two-piece design offers very fast and
simple termination of shielded cable, terminating all conductors in
a single cycle, and providing a 360-degree shield contact for
excellent crosstalk performance. Optional color-coded covers are
available to allow identification of different jacks by function,
circuit, or other need.
The rugged polymer adapter includes a generous area for labels and
is stackable side-to-side. Optional end-covers provide dust
protection and stability.

Postronics’ Combo-D Power Contact for Use with
Size 6 AWG Wire
March
2008—Positronics’ Combo-D (CBD Series) connectors offer many
combinations, including power, shielded, signal, high voltage, air,
and thermocouple contact options. A wide variety of variants and
accessories are available.
Positronics is now able to introduce power contact options for use
with size 6 AWG wire. These new power contacts have a low contact
resistance of 0.0003 ohms maximum per IEC 512-2, Test 2b. Current
ratings are up to 110 amps per contact per U.L. 1977. They are
suitable for applications up to 450 volts A.C.

Amphenol
Cylindrical Fiber Optic Connectors
May
2008—Amphenol Aerospace announces the availability of a new series
of cylindrical fiber optic connectors. Designed for use in rugged
and environmental applications, this series uses the popular
MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connector with a special insert that
accommodates commercially available MT fiber optic ferrules. Each MT
ferrule can accommodate up to 24 fiber optic channels, for a total
of 96 circuits in a connector shell size 21 package.

ITT Develops
Metal Shell Circular Connector for Luxury Cars
High contact density, rugged metal shell connector ideal for
harsh environments
April
2008—ITT Interconnect Solutions has developed a miniature circular
connector solution. Designated the KPTC Series, the backshell
connector provides high contact density in a rugged metal shell and
was originally developed for a luxury car manufacturer and an
associated subcontractor to accommodate specific harnessing
requirements within automotive diagnostic equipment.
The KPTC Series connector is capable of integrating custom
harnessing rigs and a wide range of wire gauges. Additional features
include IP67 sealing and gold-plated contacts, allowing the
connector to withstand harsh environments, as well as bayonet
coupling for quick and simple mating and unmating. A shielded
endbell is available for fast assembly.
Offered in size 20 and size 16 contacts, the KPTC Series connector
features a lifespan of at least 500 mating cycles. Contact current
rating at 20°C is 7.5 amps for the size 20 connector, and 22 amps
for the size 16 connector. Contact resistance is 14.7mΩ and 3.8mΩ,
respectively.
Typical pricing for the KPTC Series circular connector ranges from
approximately $23 to $26 each. Lead time is six weeks.

Radiall QMA Connectors:
QLF® Certified
May
2008—Radiall has over 100 part numbers that comprise the largest
range of QMA coaxial connectors, cable assemblies, and microwave
components in the industry. Standard connectors are also available
for its eco-friendly cables (halogen-free and flame retardant).
QMA series is a new snap-on version of the brass SMA connectors.
Optimized from DC to 6 GHz, QMA connectors are usable from DC to
12.4 GHz, with an intermodulation level of -120 dBc and high
electrical performances.
Main advantages:
-
It takes only
two seconds to connect QMA connectors, compared to 20 seconds
for standard SMA screw-on connectors.
-
The utilization
of QMA connectors allows optimization of panel density, since no
torque wrench is needed.
-
Field
installation is eased as the plug can rotate freely around the
jack, and an audible click ensures a secure connection.

Delphi
J1939 Terminating Resistor Connection Systems
May
2008—Today's commercial vehicles monitor many functions critical for
the efficient operation of the vehicle. As government regulations
increase, the communication requirements of each vehicle will also
grow. The Controller Area Network (CAN) provides the critical
communication for the on/off road commercial vehicle market. The SAE
(Society of Automotive Engineers) J1939 specification defines
electrical system requirements, including a J1939 terminating
resistor. This terminating resistor is required to be placed at both
ends of the main communication backbone.
The Delphi J1939 Terminating Resistor is an insert-molded resistor
end cap, which mates to a sealed Delphi GT connection. The resistor
blades and mating terminal are gold-plated to provide a reliable
contact interface. This product provides a cost-effective in-harness
option for the CAN system.
Benefits
-
Cost-effective and space-efficient
design
-
Complies with SAE J1939 standards
-
Gold-plated terminal contact
interface for high-reliability
-
Sealed connection system for
environmental protection
-
Mating connector provides
connector seal protection/retention, and terminal position
assurance (TPA)
-
Robust for use in high-vibration
and rugged environments
-
Easy to install/easily replaced in
service
The
cost-effective Delphi J1939 Terminating Resistor is ideally suited
for use with CAN bus systems designed to help meet the increased
loads on electrical/electronic architecture systems in commercial
vehicles, including off-highway agricultural and construction
equipment.
