tape and reel, the Spring Contact Connector range enables low-cost assembly with automatic pick and place machines. Comments Harwin Product Manager, Graham Cunningham, “The extended Spring Contact range builds on an already enormously popular product line and now brings even wider choice to design engineers. Today, the pressure is on to fit ever more functionality into less space, and our ultra-low profile 1.1mm Spring Contact in particular helps designers meet “smaller and lighter” demands.”

New extended Harwin Spring Contact Connector range now includes 13 types in extended C and Positive Stop styles, plus low profile 1.1mm model Harwin, the leading hi-rel connector and SMT board hardware manufacturer, announces a significant extension to its popular Spring Contact Connector range, with thirteen new models offering design engineers more options to select the best design for each application. The new range includes extended C and Positive Stop models in nine different heights, ranging from 4.5mm down to low profile designs a mere 1.1mm above board level, enabling smaller, lighter, low-profile PCB designs to be achieved. Harwin Spring Contact interconnects suit a wide variety of applications and markets, including antenna contacts in wearable and mobile applications, RFI screening, LED lamp connections, RF ID tags, vision systems, PCB grounding and board-to-board contact. Harwin Spring Contact connectors maintain a positive force against a mating surface and are available in different widths to offer a choice of spring contact forces. Tolerant to significant mating misalignment, the new design incorporates “positive stop” to prevent damage caused by over compression. A contact anti hook up feature is a further benefit. Specifications include gold-plated contacts and current rating up to 1.0A. Reliable and durable, Harwin Spring Contacts can withstand up to 10,000 mating cycles and operate over a temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees Celsius. Supplied on

Würth Elektronik eiSos expands its series of terminal block push-on connectors Würth Elektronik eiSos expands its series of terminal block push- on connectors: new products and additional contact-space pitches Würth Elektronik eiSos is expanding its range of terminal block push- on connectors in the WR-TBL series, based on the wire-protection principle, with a number of new products. A total of eight new series now complement the already available product portfolio both in the classic 5.00 mm pitch as well as in the form of new push-on connectors in the contact-space pitches 7.5 and 10 mm. The terminal blocks are all UL/cULus- and VDE-listed. They feature a current-carrying capacity of up to 24 A/750 VAC and are suited for applications involving operating temperatures between -30 and +120 °C. The terminal blocks, some of which can be modularly connected in series, support a broad spectrum of cable cross-sections from AWG30 (0.05 mm²) up to a maximum of AWG12 (3.31 mm²). All products are directly available from stock; free-of-charge samples of the new WR-TBL products can be sent out on request.

Amphenol Industrial’s Amphe-RXS The Amphenol Industrial Products Group now offers a connection system that incorporates both power and signal contacts in one connector. Amphe-RXS uses Amphenol’s RADSOK® terminals as power contacts and either standard or high vibration (AHVB) signal terminals to produce an all- inclusive connector. Because of its unique design, this new robust, mixed connector is perfect for devices and systems where space is at a premium, such as 3-phase electric motors, hybrid or electric vehicles, motorcycles, scooters, as well as material handling systems to name a few. The Amphe-RXS incorporates Amphenol’s RADSOK® technology for higher amperage, lower t-rise,
