Neutrik Announces the etherCON® ESD Series

Share this Post:

Neutrik Americas, part of the Neutrik Group, the world’s leading provider of professional AVL connectivity solutions, announces the etherCON ESD Series chassis connectors. The etherCON ESD Series improves the performance of the popular etherCON A Series by including asymmetric compound (non-metallic) push tabs.

The connectors’ ESD-protective, compound push tabs protect against damage to sensitive electronics from unwanted energy entering the connector through the latch, whether from a finger touch or other transmission. Furthermore, the asymmetric design saves space for labeling purposes. Equally notable, the push tab is non-reflective due to the black-colored compound material. This not only avoids shiny reflections on the stage but also perfectly matches the flange and housing for a unique and clean appearance. It should also be noted that 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, commented 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.”
