‘Pcb Terminal’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Compact metal hoods for contact inserts from Harting, which we summarised at the time by saying "A new range of hoods for Harting's Han-Compact industrial connectors offers a choice of straight or angled cable entry and variants with surfaces for standard and EMC applications.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release TFT touch-panel PC for POS/kiosk applications from Avalue Technology: "Avalue Technology has introduced the FPC-08W05, an 8.9in WSVGA TFT touch-panel PC that can be wall mounted or integrated as an HMI, food service panel PC or POS/kiosk display system.".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Molex - take a look at Connector system for engine control units and more which says: "Molex has introduced its CMX sealed, hybrid, high-density and modular connector system, which utilises the CTX terminal system and is suitable for transportation powertrain applications.".
Take a look also at the news release from Molex, Illumimate meets needs of thin-screen LED TVs, as well as Pitch interconnects with floating contact system from Samtec, and Murata cable connectors transmit RF signals from Murata Electronics.
