Industrial connectors protect sensitive electronics
In addition to energy and data, highly automated production plants require the reliable and powerful transmission of signals from measuring, control and regulation devices and systems. Minimal downtimes are a decisive factor in the profitability of production plants, according to engineers at HARTING, Espelkamp, Germany. And unpredictable failures, for example due to negligence, fire or […]
ERNI connectors for industrial drives and controllers
Industrial automation requires constant, reliable connectivity for high-vibration environments. Miniaturization is also a challenge for interconnect designs, but it does not imply foregoing electromechanical reliability and mating integrity to achieve density and space savings, according to officials at ERNI Electronics, Richmond, Va. Connectors with a contact pitch of 1.27 mm (0.050 in.) or less are […]
Powerful D-subs from In2Connect
D-sub connectors were arguably the first and most widely established in/out (I/O) interface connector, according to officials at In2Connect UK Ltd., based in Ropley, Hampshire. The connectors are so-called because of their trapezoidal (vaguely “D” shaped) shell which provides mechanical protection, shielding and built-in polarization when mating male to female, whether cable-end or panel mounted.
