Interconnection

As support for the new generation of EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) applications for 100 Gbps Ethernet and 100 Gbps InfiniBand*, Molex Incorporated offers comprehensive solutions for high-speed channels with enhanced data rates, minimal crosstalk, and optimal signal integrity in mobile telecommunications and data transmissions, as well as in storage and networking systems.

The Koaxxa RF interconnect family is TE Connectivity's next generation of RF products. This new offering from TE is now being launched with the Koaxxa SMA connector line.

The PRECI-DIP brand , represented in Spain by Electrónica 21, SA ., has long been established in the market for “spring-loaded” connectors.

Technological advancements in consumer electronics and the telecommunications industry are rapidly converging with medical equipment technology. For example, the healthcare sector has already adopted membrane switches from the home appliance industry and relies on mobile phone interconnects with portable medical monitoring equipment. Furthermore, high-precision surgical instruments have been further enhanced by combining advanced fiber optic technologies and interconnect design.

Texas Instruments (TI) is launching 10 signal conditioners designed to drive high-speed standard interfaces such as 10G/40G/100G Ethernet, 10G-KR (802.3ap), InfiniBand, Fibre Channel, and CPRI. These new integrated circuits join a comprehensive family of repeaters and retimers that combat signal impediments caused by insertion loss, jitter, reflection, and interference in high-speed enterprise servers, routers, and switches.

EasySync Ltd, a specialist in USB communications and instrumentation systems, has introduced a new family of rugged adapter modules. These products offer a simple method for enabling legacy serial devices to connect to modern USB-based interconnect ports.

The demand for interconnect solutions for high-power power delivery in increasingly confined spaces continues to grow rapidly. Given the ever-increasing power requirements in ever-smaller packages, solving the power equation in new system architectures and platforms can present electrical and mechanical design challenges for power supply and OEM system engineers, who must specify interconnect components that ensure signal and power integrity.  

Conec has expanded its range of bayonet and waterproof connectors with a Mini-USB connector that complies with USB 2.0 specifications. The new connector provides design engineers with a highly reliable option for the harshest environments.

ITT ICS launches a new line of ultrasonically welded two-piece cover assemblies and 24-pin surface mount connectors to meet the latest CFast standards issued by the Compact Flash Association.

Molex Incorporated 's Quixon quick-disconnect terminals are equipped with a highly reliable self-aligning mechanism, providing simple and secure connections in a variety of marine instrumentation applications, such as fuel gauges, depth gauges, speedometers and tachometers, and ignition, ventilation, and sounder switches.

Harwin has expanded its range of surface-mount EZ cable clips, which can now also be used to help reduce interference when using coaxial cables.

To adapt to the latest high-speed InfiniBand CXP 12x QDR standard and the IEEE 100 Gbps Ethernet specification, TE Connectivity (TE) has developed a pluggable CXP connector with a one-piece housing that takes up less space and is press-fit.

MM Datalectric offers a range of solutions for both distribution and workstations that integrate seamlessly into different environments, standing out for their quality and ease of installation.

R&M has added the FM45/u Cat.5e.angled connector to its FM45 family. This connector is available in TIA 568A and TIA 568B unshielded wiring configurations for solid and stranded cable of AWG 23-26 cross-sections (other versions available upon request).

Local Interconnect Network (LIN) nodes continue their exponential growth in Europe. To address this increasing demand for LIN transceivers, Melexis is introducing its next-generation LIN transceiver IC for LIN Bus systems compliant with the LIN 2.x standard. The MLX80020BA expands Melexis' existing product line of LIN transceivers and System Basis Chips, as well as fully integrated LIN solutions.
