The products are cost-effective, lightweight, offer low electrical resistance, and meet NASA's degassing requirements as well as aerospace industry temperature and corrosion resistance standards.
Glenair's highly reliable, hermetically sealed connectors are available in Europe through Powell Electronics, a supplier of connectors and other products for high-level applications such as defense, aerospace, and industrial. Glass-sealed hermetically sealed connector variants, offered for many Glenair connector series, address issues of gas, moisture, and particle ingress and feature superior pressure resistance exceeding 32,000 PSI.
Fischer Connectors has expanded its series of ultra-resistant connectors adapted to harsh environments with two new products: the Fischer UltiMate™ 80, a field-ready connector compliant with NATO's STANAG 4695 standard; and the standard Fischer UltiMate™ connector, now available in 15 gauge with various connection diagrams and up to 27 signal and power contacts.
The LEMO B Series offers modular, ergonomic, and robust multi-contact connectors for applications requiring push-pull connections. It is a suitable option for test and measurement instrumentation, medical equipment, research, and audio/video applications.
Phoenix Contact offers connectors for M23 Hybrid series equipment also with a knurled nut. This allows, for example, the connection of equipment such as servo drives with cable or coupling connectors.
Phoenix Contact offers the PRC series circular plastic connector as a pre-assembled connection solution. These pre-assembled connectors and cables are suitable for indoor and outdoor use and allow for quick commissioning, as on-site assembly is not required.
Mouser Electronics, Inc. distributes TE Connectivity (TE) Intercontec connectors. Defined by their simple design and easy assembly, TE Intercontec connectors offer a reliable, customized solution for data, power, and signal transmission.
LEMO expands its Halo connector range by adding more sizes and product models. This IP68-rated waterproof connector, originally launched in the B series, is now also available in the T series. The new product range is configurable thanks to integrated electronics and offers various colors with an RGB indicator located in a ring around the connector. The three different designs are called LEG, LMG (with a standby indicator light), and LNG (with a narrow ring indicator light).
TTI, Inc. offers the Amphenol LTW X-Lok Series product portfolio for signal, power, and hybrid applications. The X-Lok Series features a push-lock mechanism, enabling blind coupling for quick, simple, and convenient field installation, repair, and maintenance.
TE Connectivity (TE) is expanding its portfolio of M12 connectors. The latest connectors, with eight and twelve pin positions for direct mounting on printed circuit boards and panels, complement field-installable connectors and cabling solutions. The new connectors, which are UL-certified and IP67-rated (meaning they are dustproof and waterproof to a depth of at least one meter), ensure efficient, high-quality, and reliable signal transmission.
The key advantage of Amphenol's new M23 hybrid connector is its significantly reduced installation footprint, achieved through a one-to-one cable solution.
The connector is available with 4+PE power contacts, 6 signal contacts, and 4 quadrax data pins.
Harwin, which continues to develop interconnect solutions capable of withstanding the harshest operating environments, has introduced a new circular connector for sensors. Members of the Vivern family, rated at 2A per contact, are offered in a 10-contact format with a 1.45mm pitch and have an insulation resistance exceeding 1GΩ.
Amphenol Socapex has begun distributing the 2M connector series in Europe in collaboration with Amphenol Aerospace Operation (AAO) and Amphenol Interconnects Manufacturing Systems (AIMS).
The 2M Micro series of miniature military connectors is designed for interconnection applications requiring high performance in a compact and lightweight form.
The new SWIM (Shallow Water IMmersion) range is designed for marine applications at depths up to 30 m, which is considered shallow immersion. These connectors are designed for applications such as surface drones for environmental assessment missions, maritime surveillance equipment, oil exploration, weather buoys, commercial diving, and even OCROVs (Ocean Class Remotely Operated Vehicles).
