Mouser Electronics, Inc. offers an ever-increasing selection of the latest passive, interconnect, and TE sensor solutions:

Yamaichi Electronics' Y-Con RJ45 series tool-less field-mount connector is called the Y-Con Profix-Plug. This quick and easy-to-mount RJ45 connector meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 11801 Category 6A and is designed for industrial applications.

Mouser distributes this DT-XT sealed connector system which uses advanced covalently bonded sealing materials, offering high flexibility, great durability and improved tear resistance for commercial vehicles operating in harsh environments.

Panasonic Industry's new R35K series of board-to-FPC connectors is likely to generate interest, as it promises up to 49% savings in board space. Therefore, efficient space utilization is not just about compact batteries, switches, or sensors, but also about intelligent connections between them. This applies not only to wearables but also, for example, to industrial sensor technology.

Nicomatic announces full EN 4165 qualification and certification for its new OPTIMUS by Nicomatic™ modular interconnect series, optimized for connecting printed circuit boards and panels in aerospace applications in harsh environments with weight and space limitations.

Positronic's highly versatile Scorpion modular connector system is available through Powell Electronics, a supplier of connectors and other products for high-level applications such as defense, aerospace, and industrial. Components can be configured for use as power connectors (16A to 120A), signal-level connectors, or a combination of both in a virtually endless variety of power/signal contact configurations.

Communication between individual devices is the foundation of automation, both in homes and industry. Wireless connections are currently being developed. However, these are susceptible to interference and are characterized by a certain signal transmission delay, so they are primarily used in smart home systems and much less frequently in industry.

The MPO®/MTP connector conquered the data center environment back in the 1990s and, at that time, was almost exclusively an infrastructure connector. In the years before the turn of the millennium, the number of available optical interfaces was very large: ESCON, ST, SC, MTRJ, and LC, to name just a few. Data center operators back then, when deploying backbone cables, always asked themselves the same question: "What type of coupling do I use on the infrastructure side?"

RS Components (RS) presents the new RS PRO range of cabling and connectivity products, which includes high-quality connection products for a wide range of industrial and network applications belonging to numerous market sectors.

Stewart Connector's RJ45 connectors, distributed by RC Microelectronics, are time-saving solutions for Ethernet connections requiring field termination. Applications for Stewart's RJ45 punch-down connectors include data, telecommunications, wireless, PoE, and industrial equipment connections.

Nicomatic's EMM series connectors meet or exceed the performance requirements of MIL-STD-83513-G and MIL-STD-55302G standards to reduce space and weight in the most extreme environments, such as defense, space, motorsports, civil aviation, unmanned aerial vehicles, and robotics.

Active Optical Connectors are optimally adapted to all environments where electromagnetic interference prevails but it is necessary to guarantee electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

Fischer Connectors is improving the integration capabilities of its versatile Fischer Freedom^™ Series “plug & use” connectors. The robust sewing junction of the new quick-release system allows the flexible material to be transformed into a potential panel, for example, in heavy-duty tents or awnings, boat sails, tire warmers, or smart backpacks.

OMRON Electronics Components Europe introduces the USB-C I/O connector for inspection and testing. Ideal for smartphones, digital cameras, headphones, laptops, game consoles, and other portable devices, the OMRON XP2U USB-C test connector provides a quick and easy connection to test equipment installed on device production lines.

Rosenberger Optical Solutions & Infrastructure (Rosenberger OSI) announces that the Miniature Duplex Connector (MDC) will soon be ready for mass production. Rosenberger OSI has begun integrating the MDC into its PreCONNECT® cabling systems.

Excel introduces a new range of unshielded RJ45 field connectors, sleeves, and tools. The connectors are compatible with Category 5e and 6 cables and can be purchased with or without the sleeve.

Harwin has optimized and streamlined its supply chain, enhancing the capabilities of its Datamate Mix-Tek high-reliability connector series. OEMs can now purchase cable housings for these connectors with 2.00 mm and 4.00 mm pitches without contacts, instead of being limited to a small number of predefined kits.

Würth Elektronik has expanded its WR-MJ modular jack product range with RJ45 8P8C connectors compatible with Cat6 cables. These connectors are available in various configurations: horizontal, vertical, and 47.5° orientation, with and without shielding, as well as with EMI tabs. Furthermore, these connectors are design-compatible with Cat5 versions.

Phoenix Contact's new RJ45 industrial series connectors for equipment and cables enable data transmission speeds of up to 10 GBit/s and are suitable for demanding industrial Ethernet applications.

The Nicomatic DMM series is a highly modular, aerospace-grade miniature connector line compliant with AS/EN9100. It combines a wide variety of signal, power, and coaxial contacts in a rugged 2mm pitch form factor. This highly reliable, space-saving, and weight-efficient series meets MIL-DTL-83513G and offers electromagnetic and mechanical shielding for aerospace, defense and security, telecommunications, and power applications, among others.
