RF connectors increase packaging density, performance

Gore 100 series connectors are super high-density blindmate, high performance microwave interconnect systems that work well through 100 GHz. Blindmate interfaces are robust, durable, and lightweight. A socket-to-socket bullet weighs less than 0.02 grams. The connectors accommodate both radial and axial misalignment with negligible VSWR change.

Powered enclosures for critical applications

D+1600 Series enclosures have solid aluminum construction for structural integrity to better protect boards during rigorous use. A stainless steel inject/eject plate provides up to 104 lbs of insertion/extraction force, withstanding unlimited injection/ejection cycles of boards with high connector-pin counts. The extruded aluminum card guides will not flex or break and they maximize cooling airflow between the cards. An all-aluminum housing with powder-coat finish and stainless steel hardware ensures superior durability in harsh environments.

PLC couplings use IdentiQuik technology

The IdentiQuik PLC series couplings use RFID to electronically verify line connection accuracy and capture fluid and product data from point-of-origin through point-of-use. This helps medical-device manufacturers and processors comply with 21 CFR Part 11 regulations. IdentiQuik connections integrate RFID into couplings and package closures or inserts. Before making the final connection of body to insert, the IdentiQuik coupling halves automatically exchange product data. The couplings are ideal for applications such as analytical instrumentation, compression therapy, deionized-water filtration, and thermoelectric cooling assemblies.

Load management

Eleven new IntelliMAX high-current (up to 400 mA), low loss (typical RDS(ON) = 0.120 ohms) load switches reduce design cycle times and costs for battery-powered portable applications. The extensive IntelliMAX load management portfolio ensures a high degree of flexibility by addressing various system architectures to simplify designs. Each FPF21XX device integrates more protection, control and fault-monitoring features into the smallest package (SOT-23) than competitive 200/400 mA products.
