Fine Pitch SMT Gull Wing Connector Series

Mill-Max Mfg. Corp. announced the availability of its new fine pitch SMT gull wing connector series. The series comprises the 860-10-0XX-30-

002000 (1mm gull wing SMT header available in 3 - 26 positions) and the 861-13-0XX-30-002000 (1mm gull wing SMT socket available in 3 -

26 positions). With a board-to-board stack height measuring less than 0.3” ( 7.62mm), the Mill-Max gull wing series is ideal for tight, compact spaces in which a surface mount, precision-machined connector is the preferred design choice. In addition, the diameter of the leads – .014” (0,36mm) for the socket, .015” (0,38mm) for the header – leaves a tiny footprint, saving valuable PCB space.

Highly Flexible Thermocouple Cables and Assemblies

Cicoil announced the introduction of its Highly Flexible Thermocouple Cables. Unlike traditional Thermocouple cables, the Cicoil version has been designed for continuous motion, tight routing, excessive temperatures (-65°C to +260°C) and extremely harsh environments. Cicoil’s flexible 28

AWG Flat Thermocouple Cable is available in Type J and K versions with 1 to 8 conductors, and is excellent for temperature sensing, control instrumentation, heating systems and automated equipment applications. The compact, flame retardant solution is free of halogens & contaminants, and is engineered to provide space & weight savings, durability and mission critical reliability.

Extremely Non-magnetic Micro-D Connectors

Small, robust and extremely non-magnetic. These are the qualities of the new micro-D connectors developed by Axon’ Cable. These miniature connectors are designed for devices that rely on magnetism when operating. This is the case, for example, for MRI scanners where the magnetic field generated must remain constant and stable to obtain reliable and high quality 3D images. The non-magnetic connectors developed by Axon’ Cable have not only a very low residual magnetic field (less than 1 nT – about 50,000 times lower than the earth’s magnetic field), but it is also almost impossible to magnetize them. They cannot, therefore, interfere with the magnetic fields produced by the magnets of medical imaging devices or particle accelerators used by scientists.
