Connectivity in harsh environments, Mouser and Cinch eBook

Mouser Electronics announces a new eBook in collaboration with Cinch Connectivity Solutions, a Bel Group company.

Cinch is a provider of high-quality interconnect products and custom solutions engineered to meet the harsh environment demands of markets, including industrial, aerospace, defence, 5G, and IoT.

In Understanding Harsh Environments for Electronic Design, subject matter experts from Cinch and other companies offer in-depth articles on how the unique challenges of harsh environments can significantly impact the performance and longevity of interconnect solutions. As industries expand into more challenging environments, from the depths of the ocean to the vastness of space, the need for durable and resilient interconnects has become paramount. The eBook also highlights relevant connectivity products from Cinch and other Bel Group companies.


The Stewart Connector/Bel IP67 USB Type-A cable assemblies and USB Type-C connectors are suitable for outdoor devices that need to withstand harsh weather conditions.

The Johnson/Cinch Connectivity Solutions IP68 waterproof connectors and adapters include both TNC and SMA connectors that feature internal and external gaskets. Waterproof in unmated conditions, these connectors and adapters are ideal for underwater applications.

Johnson/Cinch Connectivity Solutions’ Non-Magnetic RF connectors are made from high-purity copper alloys assuring no ferrous materials. These connectors are suitable for many applications, such as medical imaging, geomagnetism, and quantum computing systems, where a magnetic signature can interfere with sensitive instrumentation and create inaccurate results.

Stewart Connector/Bel SealJack PCB-mount RJ45 connectors feature a sealed housing design, providing reliable connectivity for Ethernet applications outside the typical office environment. The Automotive Grade RJ45 connectors are ideal for automotive Ethernet applications, such as radar-based driver assistance systems and cameras.
