Interconnection

Phoenix Contact's miniature terminal blocks can be easily wired and mounted in various configurations, even in the tightest spaces. Depending on the application, the mini-terminal blocks are available with push-in or screw-type connection technology.

Nicomatic is showcasing its highly reliable, space-proven modular interconnects at Space-Comm. Also making their European debut are Nicomatic's Flat Flexible Cables (FFCs) for space – dense, lightweight flexible cables that ensure reliable signal and power connections for all types of space applications.

The global market for smart home devices was worth $68.8 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $156.6 billion by 2028. That's a lot of money being invested rapidly in some major home improvements. Our homes are quickly progressing from elementary school to university level; some are even going straight to their doctoral degrees.

Glenair's Full Nelson™ heat shrink sleeves and AutoShrink™ cold-action shrink sleeves and sleeves are now available through Powell Electronics. Manufactured in the UK by Glenair for short lead times across Europe, these products are ideal for wire harness designs where lightweight construction, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion and chemicals are critical requirements.

The new PTVFIX distribution blocks from Phoenix Contact combine the PTFIX distribution block system with the PTV series featuring vertical conductor connection. The side push-in connection offers significant advantages, especially in space-constrained environments. The compact size and modular design of the distribution block system are also major benefits. A suitable mounting option is available for every application. Available variants include basic blocks without pre-assembled mounting options, as well as blocks with horizontal and vertical mounting options for DIN rail NS35, and adhesive versions.

In control cabinets or junction boxes, nothing works without cable glands. Cable glands protect cables from mechanical stress and high temperatures, provide insulation and strain relief, and can be equipped with grounding. LAPP has expanded its SKINTOP® cable gland portfolio to offer its customers more efficient solutions. 

Phoenix Contact's hybrid terminal blocks can be used with various connection technologies on both the inside and outside of a control cabinet. The appropriate combination of simple push-in connection on the inside of the control cabinet and classic screw connection on the end-user side enables practical solutions.

Phoenix Contact's PTVME sectional metering terminals are an extension of the PTV range. Their application covers all secondary wiring applications in switching installations for transformers and signals.

Nicomatic is showcasing its extensive portfolio of highly configurable and customized modular interconnects at booth H2-872 at DSEI 2021. Nicomatic has invested substantially in R&D over the past two years, routinely reinvesting more than 15% of total revenue into new product development.

Mouser Electronics, Inc. offers Samtec's COM-HPC® interconnect solutions. Designed to meet the COM-HPC standard recently introduced by the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG®), Samtec's COM-HPC products are high-density, high-performance connectivity systems for emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine vision, embedded edge computing, cybersecurity, 5G infrastructure and connected vehicles, industrial automation, the Internet of Things (IoT), and other applications.

Thanks to the lateral arrangement of the conductors, the Phoenix Contact PTV terminal block family offers clear wiring with no bending radii. The straight path of the conductors, from the terminal block to the cable channel, simplifies cable routing and makes it easier to read the cable labels.

Harwin now offers a range of 1.75mm diameter terminal pins to complement its 1mm diameter pins. These pins are suitable for larger sockets where a single connection is required.

Photovoltaic systems are making a significant contribution to the energy revolution. Demand and interest from consumers and businesses are high. To monitor energy generation and storage on your rooftop, the inverter and storage system must be connected to the internet. With devolo Powerline adapters, integrating your photovoltaic system into your home's grid is quick and easy.

Metallic materials must also eliminate lead as an additive to facilitate their manufacture. There is one exception: up to 4% is permitted in copper alloys, including brass, which is used to produce cable glands. As things stand, this exception will expire on July 21, 2021, and it is not yet clear whether there will be an extension or a transition period.

LEMO introduces the new Harpoon: pressure contacts for angled and straight female PCB connectors. These new ground pins facilitate the pre-installation of various panel connectors.

The COFITEL Group presents Leviton's Cone of Silence™ range of protective covers designed to reduce external crosstalk in systems and thus prevent various data transmission problems. By minimizing crosstalk, these covers for Cat 6A / Class EA connectors ensure efficient, lossless communication and a long service life for the entire system.

Phoenix Contact introduces RJ45 contact supports for connectors and data cables in industrial applications. The new RJ45 adapters and gender changers enable data transmission in compact D7 housings. In confined spaces, data speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s can be reliably transmitted using Profinet, Industrial Ethernet, or EtherCAT.

Phoenix Contact introduces its Advanced Shielding technology to guarantee screen connections. During the production process, liquid metal forms a seamless bond between the shield and the conductor. This increases the transmission quality of data, signals, and power through the cabling, even under extreme environmental conditions.

D-Link has announced the launch of a new and extensive range of USB-C controllers and hubs, designed to give users flexibility and mobility to expand the connectivity of their computers and ultra-portable laptops.

Mouser Electronics, Inc. distributes a wide variety of Molex 5G-enabled interconnect solutions. 5G cellular communications promise to transform wireless connectivity and the Internet of Things (IoT) through increased data through greater reliability and broader connectivity.
