Rubber keypads offer wide choice of customisation
New from Radiatron is a range of competitively priced silicon rubber keypads that meet diverse application requirements through a wide choice of customisation options.
D-sub connector range includes power and press fit
Radiatron reckons the Erni TMC series of D-sub connectors offers the industry's widest choice of configurations, including power and press-fit versions for backplane applications.
The flexible 100ohm impedance system is seen as ideal for present-day and next-generation high-speed datarates up to 12.5Gbit/s and is also shielded to ensure high immunity to crosstalk.
Y-Flex is used in conjunction with the HF503 connector which is polarised and can be vertical or right-angle for PCB mounting.
These fine-pitch surface-mount connectors feature an integral "stiffener" for mechanical strength and a quick-lock retaining latch with an audible click.
They require a low insertion force on mounting and can be disconnected easily via a simple release button for maintenance or development needs.
Typical applications include telecomms, defence, design kits, test and measurement, and in any system requiring modular or scalable options with inherent signal integrity.
A small bend radius allows the interconnects to be installed in the most compact spaces.
They are available in a range of standard lengths, from 70 to 430mm, or as customised lengths to suit individual applications.
Connector options are from 20- to 60-way.
