The new UL-approved 9296-400 Series horizontal poke-home connectors have the industry’s lowest height profile for 18–26AWG wire, can also mate with 1mm-diameter jumper pins, are available with 1–6 pins on a 4mm pitch, and are rated for up to 600VAC/DC, 10A, and 130°C.

KYOCERA AVX Releases New Horizontal Wire-to-Board Connectors for Industrial and Commercial Applications

FOUNTAIN INN, S.C., April 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KYOCERA AVX, a leading global manufacturer of advanced electronic components engineered to accelerate technological innovation and build a better future, expanded its line of wire-to-board connectors with the release of the new UL-approved 9296-400 Series 4mm-pitch horizontal poke-home connectors.

The new 9296-400 Series connectors are designed to enable the quick, easy, cost-effective, and reliable board termination of discrete 18–26AWG solid or stranded wires or 1mm-diameter jumper pins in a broad range of industrial and commercial applications. The series has a compact, high-temperature, and halogen-free SMT package with the industry’s lowest height profile for 18–26AWG wire and a UL94 V-0 flammability rating. It is available with up to six proven-robust, 2.5mm, tin-plated, dual-beam phosphor bronze contacts on a 4mm pitch and with UL94 V-0 glass-filled nylon housings in eight different colors. It is also available with an optional visibility window to enable the visual verification of full wire insertion and with optional pass-through holes instead of wire stops to enable mating with KYOCERA AVX’s 10-9296 Series 1mm-diameter jumper pins.

The new 9296-400 Series 4mm-pitch horizontal poke-home connectors support simple strip-and-poke-home wire insertion and twist-and-pull wire extraction, enabling easy factory and field termination, and deliver high repeatability, maximum mechanical stability, and superlative wire retention strength in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications including machine controls, motors, drives, solenoids, sensors, fans, and pumps, commercial building controls ranging from sensors to fire and security systems, smart grid meters, breakers, and panels, and LED bulbs, fixtures, signage, and streetlights. They are rated for up to 600VACRMS or VDC, 6–10A UL, 4–8A cUL, operating temperatures extending from -40°C to +130°C, and five mating cycles. Lead-time for the series is currently nine weeks.

“The new 9296-400 Series poke-home connectors add several new combinations of orientations, pin counts, pitches, AWG sizes, and current ratings to our already-extensive range of wire-to-board connectors for industrial and commercial applications,” said Joe Falcone, director of global marketing for KYOCERA AVX. “The new series is available with up to six durable, high-strength, and high-reliability phosphor bronze contacts with lead-free tin plating, which is three more contacts than most competing solutions, and like the rest of our connector line, can be customized to suit unique application requirements.”

One major one that's driven up revenue for companies like Microsoft and Sony has been the era of microtransactions, also known as downloadable content or DLC, in video games. Gamers complained about the nickel and dime nature of DLC when it started to get big under Microsoft's promotion of it during the Xbox 360 era, but the numbers told a different story.

Amazon's satellite venture, SpaceX's Starlink network and other satellite firms on Wednesday won a combined $278.5 million in contracts from NASA to demonstrate communications in space as the U.S. space agency moves to replace its current satellite network in orbit with privately-built systems. NASA is increasingly looking to rely on private space companies for its operations and wants to stimulate more commercial activity in areas from space communications to sending humans to orbit. Amazon's Project Kuiper, a planned network of over 3,000 satellites built to beam broadband internet to remote regions, won $67 million, while SpaceX's Starlink venture, a larger satellite-internet network with some 2,000 satellites in space already, received $70 million.

It might be a good morning -- or perhaps “gm” -- for the hundreds of thousands of NFT community members who will now get another marketplace to trade their digital collectibles. Six months ago, Coinbase, the largest crypto exchange in the U.S. by volume, announced that it was launching an NFT marketplace, but provided few details as to when it would actually arrive. Fast-forward to today: “Coinbase NFT” launched its beta mode with collections of NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain.

Global smartphone shipments in the first quarter saw the steepest decline since the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020 amid economic headwinds and sluggish seasonal demand, further eroding the market share of China's top three handset vendors, according to the latest industry data.

That compares to the 13 per cent yea

Drones can be dangerous, and we've seen consumer-grade drones used for all sorts of nefarious purposes. Lithuanian hacker Aleksey Zaitsevsky has another option with the prototype of a high-speed racing drone that can self-destruct, using its own propellors to spread out a net to take down other drones. The propellors detach from the drone to widen the net, aiming to take down offending drones.

Major U.S. crypto exchange Coinbase Global Inc launched its NFT marketplace on Wednesday, in a sign of confidence in the niche digital asset even as the market shows signs of cooling.

On the popular marketplace OpenSea, NFT sales on the ethereum blockchain halved to around $2.5 billion in March, from $5 billion in January.
