RS introduces LVDS connector kits from JAE

Kits will accelerate prototype development

In order to support the market for LVDS connections for LCD, plasma (PDP) and TFT displays, RS Components has introduced a range of LVDS connector development kits from leading connector manufacture JAE Europe. The kits allow design engineers to produce prototypes within a short time frame without having to outsource cable assembly or invest in crimp tools.

Each kit consists of two LVDS crimp housings and the associated crimped wires, which are 300mm in length. The range being stocked by RS includes JAE’s FI-S, FI-W -FI-X and the FI-R families. RS will also stock the mating PCB receptacles.

JAE is a leading innovator in the field of miniature connectors with particular expertise in consumer, telecom and automotive electronics. The JAE FI series features include a key to avoid erroneous mating and a friction lock to prevent unmating.
