Punch down and earth strap for connector
The RJ-LnxxT IP67 rated, sealed, industrial RJ-45 connectors, available in the UK from Aerco, are now available with IDC punch down and earth strap terminations.
Convertors marry disparate optical standards
A new range of connector convertors on show at ECOC 2002 next week are claimed offer unparalleled levels of performance and reliability.
Thus, this single part, with a one-off cost less than GBP 10, offers the capability for prototyping with Flash, SRAM or DRAM devices.
All the footprints have a maximum pin count of 56.
A novel overlapping (patent applied for) outline arrangement entirely avoids the need for vias, optimising electrical performance.
User connections are provided by two arrays of 1mm plated holes on a 0.1in grid, allowing maximum flexibility for the user.
Omega Research claims the universal one-adapter-fits-many approach minimises the purchasing delay and cost overhead incurred with one-for-one adapters by making it attractive to buy in quantity and hold stock, as the stock is far more likely to find a use.
Indeed, with just six adapter types, Omega Research claims that most of the smaller SMD packages are now catered for.
Available from stock, this is the latest variant in the Om-Adapt range, with other parts already available for QFP packages up to 144 pins, SOIC, SSOP, MSOP and TSSOP packages up to 48 pins, US8, uMAX8 and uMAX10 packages, all versions of the SOT23, and the SC70.
