ERbic Profibus

ERNI Electronics continuously expands its well established ERbic field bus connectors for the Profibus, CANbus and SafetyBus standards. Redesigned and easy to use Profibus switch versions with or without a programming interface are now available. The new field bus connectors benefit from the latest ERNI Type 8 D-Sub connector generation offering high precision, stability and contact reliability.

With the new ERbic Profibus versions the external dimensions have been reduced. The compact design offers a form factor adjusted to Siemens PLCs. All enclosed parts are preassembled. An exchangeable cable strain relief for cable diameters from 6 – 9mm (8mm premounted) is available. To meet various application requirements different well established cable connection techniques are offered, such as IDC terminals (provides fast connections and replaces the dismantling of the bus wires), cage clamp or screw terminals. The bus connectors can be imprinted using the standard ID plate.

The variable connection techniques and cable strain relief provide customers with highest flexibility for field bus connections. The new ERbic Profibus devices need only a standard screwdriver for assembly/disassembly and provide a perfect visibility of switch status due to red lever. There is a large area for custom labeling, while neutral versions and variants with custom company logo can be supplied.

The new Profibus connectors are designed for data rates up to 12Mbit/s in applications according to IP20. The complete in-house production ensures the proven ERNI quality across the total process chain from design, construction, assembly, soldering to inspection.

Features

• All parts are preassembled
• Use of the latest ERNI Type 8 D-Sub generation
• Exchangeable cable strain relief for cable diameters from 6 – 9 mm (8 mm premounted)
• Stamped, metallic cable-shield-connection
• Only a standard screwdriver is needed for disassembly
• Exchangeable label for hand- or machine-marking
• Perfect visibility of switch status due to red lever

MiniBridge Cable-to-Cable Connection

With this expansion, the ERNI MiniBridge product line opens the door for several additional fields of application. The PCB cable system is predestined for the connection of decentral function units such as front plate displays, buttons, motors, fans or fuses. The target sectors are the automotive industry, industrial automation, aircraft industry, mechanical engineering, medical technology and consumer electronics.
With the MiniBridge female connector, cable connections could previously be created from PCB to PCB. Now this point-to-point connection can be made within the cable run.
This offers additional advantages. Previously, a PCB connection was required on at least one side of the cable. But now this connection can be omitted due to space or assembly reasons, for example. Units of a device must often be preassembled in such a way that a PCB is no longer accessible. Or alternatively, these are connections that manage without a PCB.    
Solution: The MiniBridge cable-to-cable connection  
ERNI offers both an IDC female connector and an IDC male connector for this cable connection; these are designed for the connection of flat cables or discrete wires.

Features

• Pitch 1.27 mm
• Number of pins: 6
• High current carrying capacity, depends on cable used, e. g. AWG 26 > 3.7 A per contact @ 20 °C, temp. limit 125°C
• Termination:
   IDC, flat cable AWG 26, 7 stranded wires
   IDC, discrete wire AWG 30, 7 stranded wires
• Modules:
   Female connector, 180° cable outlet
   Male connector, 180° cable outlet
• Interlocking:
   Female connector red - unlockable only with tool (high vibration/shock load)
   Female connector black - unlockable without tool (high vibration/shock load)
• Tray packaging
• Standard and customized cable assemblies available from ERNI

MicroSpeed® Blind Mate Connectors

ERNI’s 10 Gbit/s MicroSpeed Mezzanine connector is unlike any other high-speed Board-to-Board interconnect solution available on the market today.
A further development for rugged applications is now available - the MicroSpeed Blind Mate connector housing comes along with thicker side walls and is manufactured of high impact resisant thermoplastic UL94 V-0 rated LCP. The housing provides two polarized guide elements for alignment and secure mating.
MicroSpeed Blind Mate connectors are offered in an arrangement of Board-to-Board stack heights from 5 mm to 20 mm while providing every height in between in 1 mm increments.
The modular and shielded SMT signal connectors are available with 2 rows and 50 pins and offer a wide-temperature range (-55 °C to +125 °C). While the signal contacts are made with SMT termination, the engineer can select between two termination options for the enveloping shielding depending on the application: SMT or Through Hole Reflow (THR) for extra heavy cards or extra maximum mechanical stain relief. In addition, SMT signal coplanarity is 100% guaranteed, less than 0.10 mm on all contacts. With a minimum of 500 mating cycles, the signal and power connectors are engineered for every application concern, including severe vibration.
The signal connector‘s longitudinal pitch of 1.0 mm and transversepitch of 1.5 mm allows the differential or single-ended signals to be arranged horizontally or vertically to meet your specific impedance requirements. Optimized crosstalk behavior is achieved through a variety of layout configurations and is supported with test data, available upon request.
Unlike other competing products, the MicroSpeed places no restrictions on the number of mated connectors used between two boards. By providing generous misalignment tolerances on the longitudinal axes of ±0.8 mm and transverse axes of ±0.7 mm, MicroSpeed can be strategically placed on the PCB to keep copper traces as short as possible while reducing unnecessary and costly board layers.
MicroSpeed connectors are supplied in tape and reel packaging. They have black insulator housings for fast and reliable visual recognition and a pre-mounted pick-and-place cover for easy assembly onto the PCB.

Features

• High Speed connector (10 Gbit/s)
• For rugged applications (reinforced side walls)
• Polarized for alignment and secure mating
• Mezzanine stack heights from 5 mm to 20 mm
• THR Pins for higher retention force
• LCP insulator material (UL94 V-0)
• Class 1 connector
• Tape and Reel packaging
• Pick-and-place cover

PCI Express Right Angle Connector System

The PCI Express (PCIe) Architecture was introduced into the market place about 4 years ago as a result of Intel and other OEMs working together on designing the next generation Bus Architecture. Over the last 10+ years the current PCI Bus protocol has evolved from 32 Bit PCI to 64 Bit PCI, PCI-X, causing the industry’s demand for greater speeds to outstrip the capabilities of PCI.  The development of the PCIe protocol has allowed the industry to embrace a new bus architecture that will handle the industry’s demands for the next 10 years. Completely compatible with PCI, the PCIe will allow designers greater flexibility when designing new systems and upgrading existing systems.
The ERNI Right Angle PCIe connector‘s footprint is identical to the standard vertical mount configuration. The connector pins are insert molded into the connector to allow for exact registration of the contacts on both the daughter card side and the board mount thru hole side.  The connector itself is molded out of a high temperature plastic.  This allows the connector to withstand the higher reflow and IR temperatures required for processing lead free components.  The overall rugged construction of this connector is fabricated with the best materials available for the application requirements.  The Right Angle design of the connector will enable the engineer to consider more options while designing the product when height is at premium.

Features

• Angled PCIe connector allows the system designer to solve space problems that cannot be solved with vertical PCIe connectors
• Connector enables the add-on card to be  mounted parallel to the motherboard, saving space in the overall height of the computer box  
• Available in X1, X4, X8 or X16 versions in stack heights of 5.84 mm (.230"), 11.17 mm (.440") and 16.68 mm (.657")
• Meets all PCIe Local Bus Standards Rev. 2.0
