Compact claims for hybrid card reader
Amphenol-Tuchel Electronics has developed a novel hybrid card reader with an integrated bezel that assists card handling and guides the card securely.
The new plastic material uses built in fibres to achieve its shielding performance.
Major benefits are reduced cost and weight compared with full metal connectors with similar shielding characteristics.
The housing is highly conductive and also highly durable for harsh environment applications.
The lightweight connectors are IP65 rated and are therefore protected against dust and water splashes.
In long term testing the C16-3 EMI connector showed its ability to handle intensive temperature, damp heat cycles and also corrosion resistance in salt spray testing.
The connectors handle current up to 30A and are offered in many different contact layouts.
