A Guide On International Electrical Standards
Sometimes we are asked to supply cable assemblies to standards rather than specific manufacturers part numbers. If you are designing new products we understand how hard this can be. Questions such as what standards apply? and where in the world if the product likely to be used need to be asked. So here is a simple guide to the most […]
New Connectors for Harsh Environments
This week I am bringing you not one but 2 unusual connectors for harsh environments.

A Blog on Fibre Optic Termination Types
In today’s high-speed networks fibre optics is increasing becoming a major player in new and upgraded networking infrastructures. In addition to this we are also seeing the adoption of fibre into electronics. In previous blog (http://nicab.co.uk/a-blog-on-expanded-beam-fibre-optics/) I discuss how expanded beam fibre is becoming very popular in high end harsh environment devices. This week I […]
5 Questions To Ask When Designing New Cable Assemblies
1: Are the components freely available? One of the biggest issues we have seen with new assemblies is the availability of the connectors or cable. This may seem obvious, but the amount of assemblies designed using hard to find parts is quite high. Engineers spend a lot of time finding the connectors they […]
A Blog on Hirose DF13 Connectors
We are often asked to help customers with new designs of their cable assemblies and one common theme is making assemblies smaller enabling the overall product footprint to become as small as possible. One connector series we find most effective is the DF13 Series connectors from Hirose. The reason this connector series is easy to […]
Introducing Molex’s Edge Lock series
In a previous Blog I introduced Molex’s Edge Lock series (Click Here). The Edge series has been enhanced with the introduction of the Edge Lock Connector designed for low power applications but with the added feature of a positive locking system. Available in 2-8 Circuits, with current up to 3.0A and wire gauges of 22-24 AWG it […]
