Neutrik Americas, part of the Neutrik Group, a leading provider of professional AVL connectivity solutions, announces the EtherCon ESD Series chassis connectors. The EtherCon ESD Series impis designed to improve the performance of the popular EtherCon A Series by including asymmetric compound (non-metallic) push tabs.
The connectors’ ESD-protective, compound push tabs are designed to protect against damage to sensitive electronics from unwanted energy entering the connector through the latch, whether from a finger touch or other transmission. The asymmetric design also leaves space for labeling purposes. The push tab is non-reflective due to the black-colored compound material. This avoids shiny reflections on the stage and matches the flange and housing for a clean appearance. All Neutrik EtherCon A series products with the metal push tab will remain available.
The new Neutrik EtherCon ESD series consists of 10 connectors, each configured for a variety of termination/usage applications. These include horizontal and vertical PCB mounting, punch-down, shielded, and halo light ring versions along with versions that include integrated magnetics. All of the connectors fit into Neutrik’s standard A-size chassis cutouts.
Fred Morgenstern, VP of Technology at Neutrik Americas, comments on the new EtherCon ESD Series connectors, “These new connectors offer a fresh slant on the A Series connectors that have been an industry standard for many years. The latches look and feel great while providing extra protection to electronics. Their non-reflectivity is an advantage for stage applications where visual distraction should be minimized. And they’re priced the same as the standard A Series chassis connectors. Altogether, these ESD series connectors provide a great set of fresh alternatives to product designers.”
