C&K has developed a miniature tactile switch designed for wearable and portable IoT devices that occupies 4.6 x 2.2 x 2.6mm. The company describes it as ‘surface-mount’, but ‘edge-mount might’ be a better term as it is designed to fit onto the edge of a PCB, protruding 0.95mm above the PCB surface height. PTS847 is ...

RJ Industrial MultiFeature from Harting is an updated version of the RJ45 connector, intended to save assembly time and be tough enough for industrial IoT use. The housing is metal and integrated knives automatically shorten wire strands to the correct length during assembly – although they still need to be de-shielded and un-twisted by hand. ...

CUI Devices has added miniature slide switches as small as 10 x 2.5 x 5.9mm to its portfolio. Called the MSS series, the parts have 2.54mm pin pitches and are through-hole or gull-wing solder mount with single-pole change-over switching. Rating is 12V at 500mA or 24V at 300mA, and over -40 to 85°C. Taking the MSS-102545-14A-SV-SMT ...
