Rectangular enclosures protect sensitive signs from external EMC signals
Advanced automation systems are required to continuously process large amounts of sensitive data/signals to operate machines while reducing errors. However, the data/signal on the manufacturing floor has been exposed to various problems associated with electromagnetic noise made from surrounding electrical or electric machines. When electromagnetic noise is added to electronic devices from the outside, unintended […]
Universal RJ45 adapter allows for different types of connections in single traditional enclosure
The Mencom modular insert series (MIXO) was designed to allow different types of connections housed in a single traditional rectangular enclosure. Since each insert is designed to fit and lock into a frame that ranges in size from 1 module to 12 modules in a single enclosure, the possible combinations are countless. Each enclosure can […]
DT-XT sealed connector system ensures reliability in complex vehicles
Today’s complex vehicles include more connectors than ever, which brings a higher risk of failure as one compromised seal on a single connector can result in the failure of an entire system. To address the reliability needs of its customers operating commercial vehicle applications in harsh environments, TE Connectivity (TE) has expanded its robust Industrial […]
