Global connectivity and sensor provider, TE Connectivity (TE), offers a range of connectivity solutions for diverse motor types. With trends in connectivity toward more miniaturisation, reduced installation times, improved reliability, and lower costs in installation and operation, TE’s heavy duty connectors are suitable for numerous applications in servo and spindle motors. Designed to perform reliably under the most demanding conditions, TE’s heavy duty connectors offer IP69K rated protection and can endure 1,000 hours of salt spray resistance.These heavy duty connectors are built on a modular basis so they can offer power, signal and data transmission in a single compact unit. A one-piece connector frame allows for easy assembly of the modular inserts, and a docking frame that allows for blind mating provides more savings in installation time and costs. TE’s heavy duty connector has a history dating back over 60 years, during which time it has gone through various generations and options, offering special features for a wide range of applications. “The heavy duty connector is an iconic product that stands the test of time,” said Sascha Lambauer, Product Manager for TE’s heavy duty connectors. “Like many other TE solutions, the HDC also withstands harsh environments, reliably performing under demanding operating conditions, and is engineered to give designers flexibility and reliability in their servo and spindle motor designs.” Servo motors are increasingly being chosen for their high efficiency, especially in material handling systems and inside machinery. Meanwhile, advances in machine tooling requiring high precision and reliability are leading to spindle motors being put at the heart of modern production systems, delivering high quality end products.  Ref.KY270-106421-1KY270-1-1102296-1

Hirose has developed a hybrid power and signal board-to-board connector that features high-speed transmission capability up to 8 Gbps and a highly reliable floating contact mechanism that simplifies assembly. The FX23 Series is designed for a wide range of high-speed applications including medical devices, office imaging equipment, measurement equipment, industrial computer systems, automotive navigation and audio systems, broadcast equipment, base station transceivers, industrial machinery and more.A member of Hirose's FunctionMAX family of high-speed board-to-board connectors, the 0.5mm pitch FX23 Series connector supports high-speed applications with a specialized contact structure that utilizes a ground contact between adjacent differential pairs to reduce crosstalk. In addition, this contact structure provides superior impedance matching, even with short rise times.The connector's floating design offers a degree of play between the contacts during mating, allowing the board-to-board connector to absorb alignment errors up to ± 0.6mm in X and Y axis directions. By self-centering in both the X and Y directions, the floating structure eliminates mechanical stress at the SMT leads. This unique floating contact structure is particularly convenient when mating multiple connectors on the same printed circuit board, saving significant assembly time and costs.The hybrid power and signal connector has two built-in power contacts located on each side of the FX23 Series connector housing that provide a power rating of 3 Amps per pin. The hybrid structure also reduces the number of pins required, saving space. Available in right angle and parallel versions, the FX23 Series is offered in 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 positions. Source from Power Electronics
