Newark, the Development Distributor, now offers TE Connectivity’s Sliding Power Connector, one of the only connectors of its kind. This solution enables hot swapping of components in a server drawer without shutting power down to the entire system, saving significant operational costs by reducing the need for system downtime. The Sliding Power Connector also eliminates the need for a bulky cable management system within the drawer.

“Reducing downtime and costs is critical when innovating new electronics projects, and the right connector can be an invaluable tool in the product development process,” said Rob Toenies, Product Manager at Newark. “Building on our strong partnership with TE Connectivity, we’re excited to offer this solution to help our engineering customers bring their designs to market faster.”

TE’s Sliding Power Connector opens up more space for airflow and reduces overall cooling costs in high-current applications, and by allowing for a more direct path from the power sources to the server, the Sliding Power Connector offers users improved voltage drop over cables. This simpler design not only increases energy efficiency, but also provides greater reliability and makes the connector less prone to disconnection from the power source.

The Sliding Power Connector is designed for applications such as hard disk drives, power supply units, racks, servers, storage units and other high-current applications.

TE Connectivity is a leading provider of connectivity, electromechanical and sensor solutions for a wide range of industries and helps make the Internet of Things a reality by linking everyday appliances to the digital world to create new experiences, from intelligent homes and offices to interconnected cars.

element14.com, the community for engineers, has announced the winners of its “Sixth Sense” Design Challenge. As one of five challenges the element14 Community runs each year, element14 encouraged its members to create a small, remotely-operated or autonomous vehicle, leveraging the powerful processing capabilities of STMicroelectronics and TE Connectivity products to improve remote vehicle sensing and data collection.

The element14 Community team of judges selected a Grand Prize and Runner Up winner for the design challenge:

• Grand Prize – Douglas Wong, Canada – Douglas created GraffitiBot, a fully autonomous ground vehicle capable of printing graphics on the surface it traverses and producing a liquid canvas drawing. Although the GraffitiBot itself might be small, the scope of the project was anything but, incorporating mechanical, electronics, software and hydraulic design.

• Runner Up – Rod B, UK – Rod created a robot to help those working in construction by hauling heavy materials such as sand or gravel. To achieve this, Rod made his own PCB to host the TE Magnet sensor so that it would be board-mountable, showing an inventive way of using the required technology. This was Rod’s first ever element14 design challenge.

Through detailed blog posts, the challengers made all of their build steps and code open source, so other element14 Community members can learn from these designs and replicate projects on their own.

“As the Development Distributor, we are committed to being a champion for makers and are proud to help drive innovation for our 600,000-plus member community,” said Dianne Kibbey, Global Head of Community and Social Media for the element14 Community. “As always, we were very impressed by the creativity and innovative spirit our community demonstrated with this challenge and are looking forward to offering more opportunities for our members to push the boundaries of electronic design.”

The element14 Community is part of Premier Farnell, the development distributor, which helps design engineers, maintenance and test engineers, makers, parents, and teachers develop the future generation of coders and products that apply technology to change our world for the better.

element14 has expanded their inventory with Micro-MaTch cable assemblies from TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity. These cable assemblies are the newest edition to TE’s Micro-MaTch connector series’ product portfolio. The Micro-MaTch contact spring system provides a fretting corrosion resistant solution, designed to limit movement between mating parts and establish gas tight connections, unlike tin-plated designs which wear more easily and quickly.

The connector utilizes an additional positioning spring in the female part that absorbs movements caused by vibrations and thermal expansion. This stops movement on the contact spot and allows a secure connection to form. The system reduces free motion by equalizing tight, positional tolerances. This also applies the high contact force necessary for tin-plated systems and offers robust housings with and without latches.

These cable assemblies can be used for a variety of applications across a wide range of industries. Uses for the automotive market, for example, include motors, radios, GPS, climate controls, navigation systems and airbag units. Other applications include production and material handling equipment, alarm equipment, building surface control, AV equipment, set top boxes and more. This sturdy and multi-functional product gives engineers the flexibility to build out the projects they imagined.

TE Micro-MaTch cable assemblies are available from Newark element14 in North America, Farnell element14 in Europe and element14 in Asia in a variety of position plugs and sizes.

Newark element14 is now stocking TE Connectivity’s (TE) ARISO Contactless Connectivity platform, a hybrid interconnection system which reliably delivers power, data and signal over short distances, even in harsh environment applications. This platform helps overcome traditional connector restrictions and design constraints because no mechanical contact is required, enabling connectivity where connections were not possible before.

In factory environments, dust, dirt, water, corrosion and vibration can threaten connections that are crucial to maximizing uptime and productivity. TE’s ARISO Contactless Connectivity overcomes those design restrictions, while making maintenance and installation easier due to a high degree of design flexibility.

TE’s ARISO Contactless Connectivity provides a small form factor and features such as over temperature, reverse polarity and foreign object protection. It is easy to use and offers all the benefits of a non-mechanical contact point.

Additional features include:

• Rotational freedom
• No wear and tear
