This formal agreement cements the excellent relationship that has existed between the two companies for several years, and has been established to provide a more expansive service to engineers developing applications in the medical electronics, industrial, telecom and aerospace industries, among others.

These customers will benefit from faster access to a broader selection of FCT parts on the RS website, with the added support of the many free online design resources offered by RS.

RS currently stocks more than 200 D-Sub, D-Sub mixed layout, and D-Sub high density connectors and accessories from FCT, and plans an expansion of the line over the coming months. All FCT D-Sub connectors, including standard, SMT, THT, crimp, and dualport versions, are available in various combinations of materials and platings.

For example, shells can be supplied in a non-magnetic version made of brass plated with electroless nickel, or gold plated for use in aerospace technology and medical applications.

The D-Sub mixed layout series includes high power contacts, high voltage contacts, pneumatic contacts and coaxial contacts in various designs. The shell dimensions of the high density D-Sub series mimic those of the D-Sub connectors, with the number of contacts significantly increased.
