Welcome one and all to the Proactive Components, Inc. blog. Here we feature some of the most important components and parts from our inventory. Read on to be enlightened.

Part number APSFPD6E2 is a circular push pull connector manufactured by Amphenol Corporation. Amphenol is one of the largest manufacturers of interconnect products in the world. Amphenol products include a range of electrical, electronic and fiber optic connectors, cable systems including coaxial and flat ribbon cable and many other interconnect products.

Part number APSFPD6E2 from Amphenol is available with Proactive Components, Inc. for ready shipment.  This circular push pull connector is robustly designed- to last upwards of 500 mating cycles. This is a male gender connector with ‘pin’ contact point and plug style backshell. The shell plating is nickel. The component offers 5 contact points. The mounting style is via cable and termination is by soldering.

Another circular push pull connector from Amphenol is part number APSFSD2.  By definition a push pull connector is a connector style that has a cable interconnect and which offers a secure locking mechanism. The unlocking requires the connector body to be squeezed and then ‘pulled’ out. The chances of accidental disconnects are thus eliminated to a large extent.

Part number APSFSD2 has a socket contact type, making it a female gender connector. The component offers 5 contact positions. The shell style is a receptacle, with size 18 and made of metal. The shell is plated with nickel. Part number APSFSD2 is RoHS compliant and mounted on a panel. Termination is via soldering.

Part number MC9S12DP512CPVE is a 16bit microcontroller manufactured by Freescale Semiconductors. Freescale is one of the top manufacturers of semiconductor chips for several applications. The ICs manufactured by the company are in use in automotive, connectivity, smart energy, medical, industrial, consumer and several other applications around the world.

Microcontrollers have an advantage over microprocessors in that they are more cost effective. Of course, they do not have the wide application range as microprocessors and microcontrollers are usually designed for specific applications like remote controls, displays in washing machines, microwaves etc.

Part number MC9S12DP512CPVE has maximum clock frequency of 50MHz. The program memory size is 512KB, while the DRAM memory is 12KB. This microcontroller has 8 timers, is surface mount compatible, and is available in LQFP-112 packaging.
