With bandwidth increasing and speed of processors going up it was only logical to come with a right angle connector for generation 5 PCIe products. attached a sneak-peek. The center-line of the daughter card will be around 5,9 mm above the main board.But if you want to connector an additional board parallel to your main board let us know! This connector will be available early Q3.

Never thought we would have to be worried on washing and drying, but take a look on how our R&D is working on a standard process for cleaning, washing and drying resin printed 3D parts.. The result should be products within spec from dimensions and performance point of view We even bought a washing machine for it.

Sometimes looks and feel are also important, we upgraded the outside premises of our sister company S2C Elec in France and to increase safety a clear green marking was added where the car park exit crosses the bicycle lane....

Come and meet us at BSBF 4-6 October in Grenada Spain. FOR MORE INFO SEE www.bsbf2020.org. CHECK THE PROGRAM for interesting presentations on almost all Big Science initiatives!

We added 3 new leaflet from our sister company S2C Elec in France. These leaflets are covering Fiber Optics, Coax-solutions and Modular Breakout and Interface Solutions, 3 areas S2C Elec is excelling in.

Lets make it an exciting New Year!

Under the name XETAK Christian Koppe did start a business platform for dedicated to electromechanical components as interconnects, connectors, wire & cable, relays and harnessing products. The platform accommodates requests for new product development as well as supply. Extensive filter menus mirror the Aerospace, Defense & Marine market requirements and are helping to formulate your request in the best possible way. The platform now has been updated. Give it a try via the logo on our links tab

Developments do go fast and not always there is a clear borderline between technologies and applications. You are developing a rugged piece of equipment and what to add an access point for a tablet, or a memory device? Take a look on our download page for USB type C to Rugged. And what we can do with USB type C we can also do with 3.1, SATA drives, cameras for vision systems, sensors .

Meet us on the biggest BIG SCIENCE event in the world 25-28 of February in Copenhagen Denmark. Thanks to Dutch ILO-Net for making it possible! https://bsbf2018.org/

Company Timmerije did win the High Tech Platform Innovation award, yesterday evening for an innovative way to work with bioplastics. Congratulations! (www.timmerije.nl)

The smart cabling system for accessing and expanding VPX and VPX+ equipment practice based systems is not expanded with press-fit cable modules VPX PlusD. VPX PlusD is a module with press-fit tails that utilize the backplane vias prepared for the backplane connector. This way a reliable connection is made directly on the backplane allowing hybrid applications along with VITA VPX backplane connectors.

You need a solid connection between the cable and the connector? Between the connector and the conduit? Between the connector and Schlemmer Rohr? Take a look at this page www.toughcon.com. Or download the Toughcon rugged solutions PDF from our area.

We do have some inventory left of Plymouth mastic tape. As our project is finished we can ship is to you if you are interested. And as they say in holiday countries: You are friend, we make you good price!(email info@steeredtechnology.com) Have a great holiday!

Together with many other Dutch High Tech companies we participated in the HOLLAND@CERN Event and exhibition in Geneva. I was impressed by the technologies and accomplishments at CERN and many new to come from the challenging new BIG SCIENCE initiatives underway which will bring us not only insights in the first seconds of existence of the universe but also unlimited energy ( Fusion ) and help us fighting cancer ( Medipix).I was a little disappointed to learn that Dutch students are lacking interest to spend some time at CERN. Lets change that! If you are a student and you want to spend some time in Geneva or Grenoble, contact CERN (hr-dep.web.cern.ch)

We were very lucky to participate to the Hannover Messe as part of the Holland High Tech pavilion. Innovative ways to produce electricity, the smallest desktop SEM, the Delft university rocket reaching new heights, data centre 3d temperature / air speed measurement and Server on a board architecture for big data are a couple of the innovations surrounding us. We were showing our high speed flex, ribbon coax and discrete coax assemblies for demanding applications. Very happy to see the politicians show interest in how technology can drive economy. Thank you Holland High Tech and the BIG SCIENCE team!

We are extremely happy to announce cooperation with company Heynen (www.heynen.com)Their Sales Team does have the same passion for technology and drive to solve customer problems as we have!Will be exciting to see this developing further..

Did get the first reels GEN3 Ultra miniature PCB coax connectors on my desk. Coming from the days when BNCs, 7-16 and N-series were everydays product it surprising to have a reel with 3.000 board mount RF connectors on my desk. DIN 41612 for comparison.........

If you want to see the latest additions to the Hercules portfolio including the new VITA approved High Speed sub-D,the Hercules to USB 3.0 Type C or the Herucles to ARINC interface then please visit the Meritec booth 520 on DesignCon. (www.designcon.com/santaclara)

With the year ending here is our TOP 3 list of 2015 interesting interconnect technologies based on leaflet requests: Our number 3: Miniature and micro RF compatible with I-pex, Hirose, SMK, Amphenol and others. Our number 2: Modular backplane cabling systems for 1.8 mm, 2.00 mm, 2,54 mm ( VME, CPCI and VPX). The top position is this year for goldwire elastomeric technology the innovative technology to create fine pitch board to board, flex to board interconnects with pitches far below 0,3 mm! Did you miss one of them? Go to the download area.

One of the new, very interesting developments around IoT is the emerging need for longer range, low power embedded wireless solutions, high network capacity solution. Recently Microchip introduced its LoRa technology RN248 (433/868 MHz) and the RN2903 (915 MHz)products to cover this segment. Key features: Long range greater than 15 km Low power consumption up to 10 years battery life High network capacity up to 1 million nodes If you plan to use the RN2483 or RN2903 module and you need a suitable micro RF connector, cable assembly or antenna then you know where to find us.

To connect EFBs or other information devices and terminals its easy if one can make use of the USB standards. However when connecting subsystems there is a need for a rugged IO panel feed through capable of carrying USB 3.1 Type C signals and allow USB power delivery. The solution? Use Hercules size 13 or size 17 high speed connectors with USB pigtails. Check to download page for more details!

Controlled Impedance IO connector? Rugged wire or panel applications? HERCULES HS-D High Speed D-Sub embedded in the rugged rectangular MIL-DTL-24308 shell provides both durable and high-bandwidth interconnect scheme suitable for Military, Aerospace and ruggedizedcommercial high-bandwidth applications not previously accommodated by Industry standard connectors.You can download the leaflet on the download page.

It is not always possible or wise to use a rigid right angle board to board connector in box or other embedded applications. Sometimes you do not even want to have a rigid connection between panel, connector and pcb.Take a look at the attached 10 Gbps, 38999 shell solution for rugged applications. With high performance flex circuit made out of Dupont Pyralux material, Samtec board to board connectors and equipped with proven Hercules IO connector this assembly could be a perfect alternative! You can download the leaflet from the download section.

We think we have a pretty unique portfolio of modular backplane cabling systems for VME, 2 mm Hard Metric, CPCI and VPX/VITA46.Good thing is we have standard modules in inventory and we are building customer specific solutions from these modules. If youenjoy doing it yourself then we ship the modules to you and youhave the fun of assembling them... Download the leaflet on the download page or contact us by phone or mail.....

We just hired a booth on the Smart Systems Exhibition in s-Hertogenbosch on October 1st. Smart Systems coming to Connector City! More info: www.smartsystems.nl

With summer period coming Engineering decided to do some testing including a 1600 hours temperature cycling test. We did acquire a new Climate Chamber to go with that.

A leaflet with an overview of Rugged interconnect solutions is added to the download centre. The A380 pictured in the documentwas captured in the sky over San Francisco some time ago (first Lufthansa flight from San Francisco).

Thank you all for visiting our booth! We had good discussions both at the booth as well as during diner and drinks. Elastomeric is gaining a lot of interest, Vision does require connectors capable of over 12 Gbps. Robotics seem to have no idea where they want to go from interconnect point of view. Lot of work for us then!

Spring contacts can be used to make a connection between covers, housings, shields and other equipment parts. Key is the working height of the spring compared to the tolerances of the parts you want to connect. We have a range of contact types and contacts available and if none of them matches your requirement we will design with you suitable one. Also we do have tape and reel versions available suitable for vacuum pick-up to reduce your applied cost.

Come and talk to us! We will be exhibiting on the Vision, Robotics & Mechatronics event on 3 and 4 June 2015 in the NH Conference Centre Koningshof, Veldhoven, The Netherlands. Free tickets available via www.vision-robotics.nl Come and see Hercules high speed IO, VPX and 2.0 mm modular backplane wiring, the smallest family of coax in the world and elastomer interconnect solutions.....See you the 3rd or the 4th!

Ignore the rumours in the market, we continue to supply 2.0 mm Hard Metric cable assemblies to our customers. Any design you like including the famous right angle version!

We are happy to announce that we joined the EtherCAT Technology group. This is one of the most important and fast growing Fieldbus group in the world creating significant advantages over others.For a good overview download the EtherCAT Technology Introduction in your language of choice from the download section of the org. website: http://www.ethercat.org.

By adding a high speed 10 Gbps ARINC 600 module to the portfolio it is now possible to make a complete link from box-panel- box targeting avionics equipment. This link supports all major high speed links as USB 3.0

Recently we joined the organisation for the high tech industry in the Netherlands. For more info click the logo on our homepage or copy http://www.mikrocentrum.nl/high-tech-platform-en-US/Take a moment to scan through the High Tech company guide......

Does your product need a 2.4 - 5.8 Ghz Antenna with a small or Amphenol, Murata or Hosiden coax connector U.FL style or smaller? We can offer you a Flex foil based solution with excellent performance.

Getting more popular in the open platform market is adding modules, functions, shields etc. to single board computers.Arduino and Raspberry Pi are good examples but also embedded computer standards as PC104 requires boards on different levels.We can supply board stacking headers with pin length up to 160mm,in one or two rows and with one, tow or three plastic carriers.On top of that we do believe in quick turnaround time and low MOQs to give you freedom in design and more freedom in doing business.

Is the space you have in your VME, CPCI or other IEC 1076 and IEC 917 equipment practice based chassis reducing and do you have almost no space left between backplane and chassis? Perhaps there is still enough room for 2.0 mm right angle backplane cabling. Check out our portfolio ( enter 2.0 in the search box on the catalogue page ) or drop us mail for a copy of the leaflet.

We moved into our new building next to the Container port in s-Hertogenbosch.
