Smiths Interconnect Expanded its L Series of Modular Connectors with The Addition of Hybrid ＆ Pneumatic Modules
Key point: Smiths Interconnect expanded its L Series of modular connectors with contact technologies.
Smiths Interconnect, a leading provider of technically differentiated electronic components, subsystems, microwave, and radio frequency products announced the extension of its L modular connector Series with the addition of 2 module types that complete the company’s wide offering of modular solutions.
Smiths Interconnect’s L Series of modular connectors is easy to assemble, based on the principle of building blocks with a system composed of two elements: modules and frames. Modules of various styles and different contact types are available for different application requirements, combining signal, power, and coaxial contact technologies into custom arrangements within a single connector frame.
Smiths Interconnect now offers two contact technologies, fiber optic and pneumatic, in the proven modular connector series. The Hybrid module combines two fiber optic termini with the option of one of their premium Coaxtac coaxial contacts or a 25Amp Hypertac power contact; the new Pneumatic Module adds the function of the air contacts to offer the possibility of a mechanical performance within a modular configuration.
Ideal for rugged rack & panel applications, the L Series can now support additional applications that require high-speed data transmission (in space, aerospace, defense, and industrial market segments with the hybrid module) and mechanical power (in robots, testing machines and tooling machines with the pneumatic module).
Both new modules can be used in the standard versions of the L Series as well as in those compliant with EN45545 requirements for fire safety, and offer the following distinctive technical features and benefits:
Hybrid module (F):
Hybrid module (F) allows designers to combine fiber optic with copper cables to take advantage of the performance benefits of fiber, including reduced size and weight, immunity to EMI/RFI, and no cross talk or loss of signal strength over long distances.
Mix and Match
Fiber optic interconnects for 1.3mm 62.5/125μm multimode fiber optic cables with either:
Coaxial contacts for RG316, RG316DB, RG405 or T-Flex 405 cable, or:
Power contacts for 12-14AWG wire
Allows designers to combine fiber optic with copper cables to take advantage of the performance benefits of fiber, including reduced size and weight, immunity to EMI/RFI, no cross-talk or loss of signal strength over long distances, and the difficulty of tapping fiber optic cables which increases system security.
May be used singly or in multiples, in conjunction with a variety of L Series modules, combining signal, power, and/or RF contacts in an assortment of standard rack and panel or cable-to-panel frames.
Ideal for Space, Aerospace, Defense, and Industrial applications.
Pneumatic Module (PN):
The Pneumatic Module (PN) adds the mechanical performance of the pneumatic contact to the standard modules with electrical contacts, to operate mechanical devices requiring compressed air.
Male contact features an NBR rubber o-ring that seals the contact into the female mating element
Compressed air in accordance with ISO8573-1:2010, level 7 of purity class for particles.
The module adds the mechanical performance of the pneumatic contact to the standard modules with electrical contacts, to operate mechanical devices requiring compressed air
The mechanical performance of the contract gives the right mechanical power required by specific applications, such as pneumatic valves where the force of the air drives, solenoid valves, or low-pressure pistons.
Ideal for tooling machinery, agricultural machinery, testing systems, robots, and factory machinery.
