Greenpar comes back with low-cost coax connectors
A new family of coax connectors, specifically designed to meet the price-performance requirements of commercial RF applications has been announced by Tyco Electronics.
Switch to a quieter automotive relay
Ideal for use in the passenger compartment, V23145-A0101-A303 micro silent relays feature a noise level of under 50dB(A), compared with the typical 65dB(A) of a standard relay.
The receptacle caters for six chassis ground locations, six PCB grounding and retention contacts, four grounding contacts for cable to plug and a metal EMI/RFI shield.
The plug and receptacle use polarisation and keying.
The connector can accept cable from 22 to 30AWG and employs an overmoulded strain relief.
It is designed for 250 mating cycles and has nickel-plating on gold contacts.
The connector offers positive latching and will maintain 2.5Gbit/s datarates up to 15m.
Equalised cable assemblies are also available from Tyco Electronics for 100ohm impedance InfiniBand and 150ohm impedance Fibre Channel requirements.
Backed by seven of the computing industry's leaders - Compaq, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, Microsoft and Sun Microsystems - InfiniBand is an emerging standard that sets out to provide a new server architecture that delivers a channel based, switched fabric technology.
The InfiniBand architecture decouples the I/O subsystem from memory by using channel-based point-to-point connections rather than a shared-bus load-and-store configuration.
The new architecture is based on a 2.5Gbit/s wire speed connection with one, four or twelve wire link widths, which offers scalable performance through multilink connections as well as a host of interoperable link speeds.
The specification supports both copper and fibre implementations. Request a free brochure from Tyco Electronics UK ...
