BTC Electronic Components (BTC) , a value-added stocking connector distributor headquartered in Wake Forest, NC, has announced a pair of additions to its connector products linecard. Edac, one of BTC’s 31 franchised/authorized lines, has expanded its line of waterproof connectors, and also introduced a new line of magnetic modular RJ45 jacks.
Edac's expanded line of IP67 waterproof connectors, available in both wire-to-wire and wire-to-board versions, is intended for use in both extreme moisture and submersion applications. Design features include a simple crimp and poke application, interface seals designed and tested to the IP67 rating, compatibility with UL 28-14 AWG cable and the availability of waterproof caps for the 565 and 566 series. The series also incorporates integral locking tabs, a keying system and visual confirmation for proper sealing.
More Waterproof Connectors Coverage
Also newly available, the Edac line of Magnetic Modular Jacks incorporates wire-wound magnetics in a RJ45 connector. Edac contends that magnetic jacks have recently seen increased popularity due to labor savings, as they only involve a single component to mount instead of two. Additionally, as a result of only one component being mounted, a reduced footprint on the printed circuit board is realized.
