ELEMENT14 has expanded its portfolio of PCB connectors to include high power, high speed, low profile and fine pitch connectors for next-generation electronics design.
The expanded range of PCB connectors hail from leading global suppliers TE Connectivity, Molex, FCI, Harwin, Hirose, JST, Phoenix Contact and Samtec.
The portfolio of almost 30,000 PCB connectors include board-to-board, card edge and backplane, DIN 41612 board, FFC/FPC board, stacking board and wire-to-board connectors ideal for use in portable mobile devices, consumer electronics, building automation, white goods, industrial machinery, aerospace and defence, transportation, and telecommunications.
Industrial applications for the IoT (Internet of Things) such as internet-connected industrial systems for telecommunications, building automation and transportation have increased demand for high-speed, high power, fine pitch and low profile connectors for advanced applications.
The high speed connectors cater for speeds from 10 Gbps to over 25Gbps, allowing use on pluggable I/O, backplane and edge card connectors.
The high power connectors provide edge current density per circuit from 10A to 65A, positive housing locks and polarised housing; including wire-to-board, board-to-board, wire-to-panel and wire-to-wire connectors.
The low profile connectors are suited for space-constrained PCB design, helping achieve small form-factors, while delivering high reliability and high performance in heights as low as 1.55mm, including polarisation features and secure friction-locking devices.
The fine pitch connectors have pitches down to 0.3mm, helping achieve a smaller form factor in both size and volume in PCB design.er
