http://www.te.com TE Connectivity Communications Product News Feed <p>HARRISBURG, Pa. -- February 1, 2012 -- TE Connectivity announces its next generation of RF products -- the KOAXXA RF interconnects product family. This new offering from TE premieres today with the launch of the KOAXXA SMA product line, which is on display at <a href="http://www.te.com/DesignCon2012">DesignCon 2012</a>, booth #411, Santa Clara, CA, USA.</p> http://www.te.com/AboutUs/news/prodnews.asp?ID=1938 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT <p>HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Jan. 4, 2012 -- TE Connectivity today launched the new FORGE power drawer connector for high-current and high-voltage power supplies and power distribution systems. This blind-mateable connector, produced from a scalable mold platform, allows users to specify the connector configuration that best meets their design requirements. With a voltage rating of up to 1000V AC or DC, coupled with a robust design, the product is well suited for high-efficiency power conversion applications and high-reliability power systems used in rugged environments. Target applications include power inverters, servers, switches and routers used in data centers, alternative energy power conversion, and military and aerospace products.</p> http://www.te.com/AboutUs/news/prodnews.asp?ID=1935 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT <p>NUREMBERG, Germany -- Nov. 21, 2011. To support industry requirements for high-speed cabling and interconnect systems, TE Connectivity has developed a new generation of its Industrial Ethernet M12 connector system for industrial applications, allowing data rates up to 10 Gb/s. <br />The connector system consists of various cable assembly and PBC header types in a standard industrial circular format. Its 8-contact system makes it suitable for both high-speed data applications and power-plus-Ethernet applications. The Industrial Ethernet 10 Gb M12 connector system provides users with a future-proof interface, allowing them a smooth transition to higher bandwidth transmission to meet the requirements of today's 100 Mb/s and 1 Gb/s systems and the expected 10 Gb/s needed in the future. This means that the product will not need requalification or exchange for approximately the next five years.</p> http://www.te.com/AboutUs/news/prodnews.asp?ID=1931 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT <p>NUREMBERG, Germany -- Nov. 21, 2011 -- TE Connectivity has expanded its portfolio of industrial USB 2.0 connectors to include latching and circular sealed USB connectors. The latching version adds retention force to USB connections and features a latching plug and receptacle with standard IP 20 protection. This USB connector adds 40 Newtons of locking strength with an integrated, positive latching mechanism and offers 1,500 mating and unmating cycles. The latching mechanism helps avoid downtime caused by accidental unplugging and an audible and tactile feedback confirms that the connector is fully engaged. Typical applications are in the mobile segment such as hand-held devices with a controller-to-peripheral interconnection.</p> http://www.te.com/AboutUs/news/prodnews.asp?ID=1930 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT <p>HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Oct. 14, 2011 -- To support the latest high-speed InfiniBand CXP 12x QDR standard and IEEE 100 Gbps Ethernet specification, TE Connectivity has developed an enhanced-footprint CXP pluggable connector and cage in a convenient one-piece, press-fit assembly. This new product supports 12 channels of up to 10 Gbps data rates for a total bandwidth of 120 Gbps, offers improved electrical performance and supports pluggable copper or optical transceivers and active optical cable options.</p> http://www.te.com/AboutUs/news/prodnews.asp?ID=1922 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 00:00:00 GMT <p>DARMSTADT, Germany -- Sept. 30, 2011 -- TE Connectivity has introduced a new miniature ALCOSWITCH Blue Series pushbutton switch. Its new internal snap-action mechanism combines compact dimensions with very fast switching and clear tactile and audible feedback indicating that the switch has been properly pressed. Applications cover power and signal. ALCOSWITCH Blue Series pushbutton switches are available in single- or double-pole, double-throw configurations (SPDT, DPDT) with push on/push off or momentary function. The internal contacts are brass with a silver inlay; optional gold plating is available for signal transmission up to 60mA @ 30VDC. The silver inlay contacts have an initial resistance of ≤10 milliohm at 125 VAC, at 1 A at 2 ~ 4 VDC. For the gold plated version the contact resistance is ≤20 milliohm at 100mA at 2~4VDC. Equipped with silver inlay brass contacts, the switches are rated for up to 250 VAC at 1.5 amps for European applications and for up to 125 VAC at 3 amps for North American applications. Due to the extremely fast contact travel, the silver inlay version's life is 25,000 cycles at load, and 50,000 cycles at load for the gold plated version. This compares to the UL requirement of 6,000 cycles at load. The higher lifecycle of the switch means that the lifetime of a valuable piece of equipment is less likely to be limited by its electromechanical control elements.</p> http://www.te.com/AboutUs/news/prodnews.asp?ID=1919 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:00:00 GMT <p>Darmstadt, Germany -- August 26, 2011 -- TE Connectivity is pleased to announce the launch of its newest cable identification marker: this durable heat-shrinkable wrap-around cable marker is designed to provide permanent marker identification ensuring that items do not have to be remarked in their lifetime.</p> http://www.te.com/AboutUs/news/prodnews.asp?ID=1915 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT <p>HARRISBURG, Pa. -- June 15, 2011 -- TE Connectivity (TE), formerly Tyco Electronics, releases new single-mode and multimode LC fiber optic cable assemblies for the data communications, telecommunications and industrial markets.
