TE Connectivity’s Micro-MaTch cable assemblies now available from Newark element14

January 27, 2016

CHICAGO – Jan. 27, 2016 –– Newark element14 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 … Read More → "TE Connectivity’s Micro-MaTch cable assemblies now available from Newark element14"
