Industrial applications for the IoT (Internet of Things) such as internet-connected industrial systems for telecommunications, building automation and transportation have also increased demand for High-Speed, High Power, Fine Pitch and Low Profile connectors for advanced applications. New PCB connectors feature :

  • High Speed connectors: speeds from 10 Gbps to over 25Gbps fulfil rapid demands of High Speed Connectivity; includes pluggable I/O, Backplane and Edge Card Connectors
  • High Power connectors: cutting edge current density per circuit from 10A to 65A, positive housing locks and polarized housing; includes wire-to-board, board-to-board, wire-to-panel and wire-to-wire connectors
  • Low Profile connectors: highly suitable for space-constrained PCB design and to achieve small form-factor requirement; high-reliability and high performance in a low profile - mated height of as low as 1.55mm - includes polarization features and secure friction-locking devices
  • Fine Pitch: range includes as low as 0.3mm pitch connectors which helps to achieve a smaller form factor in both size and volume in PCB design

Available at sg.element14.com/pcb-connectors, customers can choose the connectors they need by product range, number of contacts, gender, pitch spacing, contact plating, contact termination, contact material and other critical specifications.

New ranges of PCB connectors from leading manufacturers include -

  • TE ConnectivityDynamic Series wire-to-board, wire-to-panel and wire-to-wire connectors with diverse housings available to meet most applications and offers up to 65A current capacity; sg.element14.com/te-connectivity
  • JSTSH Series which is World's First 1.00mm pitch Crimp style Connector
  • SamtecPES Series that offer High Power Header and Socket of up to 40A, at sg.element14.com/samtec
