Dip soldering is a reliable connection technology, especially in the automotive industry. What is more, the cable-to-board connectors are now also available as pre- assembled cable connectors for efficient and time-saving processing. The connectors in a 2.0 mm pitch are specially designed for use in harsh environments and provide compact and reliable connections that are subject to high vibrations. These kinds of requirements typically occur in the automotive sector, for example in inverters such as on-board charging systems or engine control systems. The high robustness is ensured by the TPA (“Terminal Position Assurance”), an additional securing of the crimp contacts in the socket housing. This locking system makes the connection particularly resistant to strong vibrations. The latest enhancements open up new possible applications not only in the automotive sector but also in industry, telecommunications and medical technology. The compact design and the flexible contact technology (SMT and dip solder) allow installation even in space-critical locations. The iBridge Ultra connectors have been tested to the applicable USCAR-2 & USCAR-21 requirements and are UL certified. The UL test mark stands for the proven conformity of a product with the safety regulations of the USA and Canada. This means that the iBridge Ultra components now satisfy an important criterion for the North American market. Despite the small pitch, the connectors have a high current rating of up to 8 A per contact. The dual beam female contacts ensure reliable mating and the stamped male contacts are robust, coplanar and capable of carrying high currents. The connector family now includes the following variants: vertical and right-angle male connectors with SMT or dip solder termination. The SMT versions are supplied in tape on reel packaging and the dip solder versions in tube packaging for automated assembly. Metal soldering clips for the SMT versions ensure PCB retention and strain relief of contacts. The dual beam female contact compensates misalignment

USB Type C Receptacle Designed for Power Only Applications CUI Devices’ Interconnect Group announced the introduction of a new USB Type C connector designed for power only applications. The UJC-HP-3-SMT-TR is a 6-pin USB Type C receptacle that can deliver up to 60 W of power with a 3 A rated current and 20 Vdc rated voltage. By removing the data transfer pins, this USB Type C receptacle is a more cost-effective solution for designs where charging or power is the sole function. Housed in a surface mount package, the UJC-HP-3-SMT-TR is also compatible with any standard USB Type C plug, taking the accessibility and simplified design integration of the universal and widely adopted Type C connection and applying it to power only applications. This USB Type C connector further offers reflow solder compatibility, a -40 to 80°C operating temperature range, and high reliability up to 10,000 mating cycles. The UJC-HP-3-SMT-TR is available immediately with prices starting at $0.47 per unit at 1000 pieces through distribution. Please contact CUI Devices for OEM pricing. Summary Product name: UJC-HP-3-SMT-TR Availability: Stock to 8 weeks Possible users: Charging or power only applications Primary features: Power only USB Type C receptacle, compatible with any USB Type C plug Cost: $0.47 per unit at 1000 pieces through distribution View details for the UJC-HP-3-SMT-TR series
