Würth Elektronik Extends its REDCUBE Series with SMT WP-SMRA with Screw Threads

November 1, 2021

Würth Elektronik now offers new WP-SMRA Surface mount solderable wire-to-board and board-to-board connections for 90° assembly on front panels, housings, PCBs or cable connections. WP-SMRAs are high-current contacts mainly intended for automated assembly within the REDCUBE series. The version with M2 screw thread is aimed towards a special application: Combined with Würth Elektronik’s type-C USB jacks, it accepts the screw-lock USB connectors used and valued for their more reliable connection in many industrial applications.

Connectors reliably secured with screws against inadvertent disconnection are making a comeback in industrial applications with the USB type-C connector. The M2 version of the WP-SMRA SMT-mountable connector from Würth Elektronik offers developers an easy-to-implement solution along with a reference design.

WP-SMRA is now available from stock without a minimum order quantity. Würth Elektronik provides developers free samples on request.

Bourns Releases New Gigabit Ethernet Chip LAN Transformers

Bourns Magnetics Product Line is releasing the Model SM353230-181N7Y, SM453230-121N7Y and SM453230-181N7Y Gigabit Ethernet Chip LAN 1G/2.5G/5G and 10G Base-T Transformers. Unlike traditional LAN magnetics built with multiple toroidal core transformers and common mode chokes in a single module, a Chip LAN transformer is a discrete, center-tapped component wound on a drum core and capped with a ferrite plate to emulate the result of the close magnetic path of a toroid core.

With the pushbutton unit PITgatebox you can easily and flexibly control safety gate switches and systems. And there’s another added safety factor thanks to the integration of PITreader – user authentication. This enables user permissions to be checked via RFID key before the gates are operated. That way it’s possible to ensure that the right group of people has access to the plant, based on qualifications and the tasks of the relevant personnel.
