Hirose has introduced the BM24 series of Hybrid SMD connectors to provide a connectivity solution for miniature applications needing high-speed signal transmission (10 Gbps) and power connections up to 5A.
The BM24 range of connectors consists of SMD header and receptacles to allow a flat printed circuit (FPC) to board connection. The parallel stack height is extremely low-profile at only 0.8mm high in mated condition allowing for use in equipment where space is at a premium.The connectors feature a hybrid design with signal contacts rated at 0.25A (Amps) and power contacts rated at 5A. The hybrid design reduces the requirement for separate power and signal connectors which saves cost, board space and helps to simplify the board design. The pin assignment and the impedance characteristic of 85+/-9 Ω support USB 3.1 Type-C gen.2 (10 Gbps) high-speed signal transmission.
Although the dimensions are compact, performance is not compromised, and the parts are able to offer highly reliable mechanical connection. This is due to Hirose’s unique two-point contacts and a long effective mating length of 0.2mm for the power contact and 0.23mm for the signal contacts. Guide ribs have been incorporated into the housing body, allowing a wide self-alignment range of 0.3mm in the XY direction and permitting smoother mating operation. In addition, a tactile click is generated upon mating completion, preventing the possibility of incomplete mating and enhancing operability.
The connectors are available in 10, 20, 24, 30 and 40 way with additional 2 connections for power. The BM24 series have a voltage rating of 30V and can be mated up to 10 cycles. Metal fittings are also provided to increase the retention force of the connector to the board and protect the contacts from mechanical stress, insulators are moulded from high temperature LCP material which is flame retardant to UL94V-0.
The BM24 series of connectors are suitable for a range of applications including data processing and point-of-sale equipment, portable handheld devices and any other devices utilising USB 3.1 high-speed transmission.

STMicroelectronics are powering the next generation of Industry 4.0 applications with a new vibration-sensing solution optimized to enable smart maintenance of factory equipment. The IIS3DWB is a system-in-package MEMS sensor featuring a 3-axis digital vibration sensor with low noise over an ultra-wide and flat frequency range. The wide bandwidth, low noise, very stable and repeatable sensitivity, together with the capability of operating over an extended temperature range (up to +105 °C), make the device particularly suitable for vibration monitoring in industrial applications.
