Farmers easily harvest data with ‘intelligent connector’ design from Bulgin
Rugged connector and component manufacturer Bulgin has successfully developed an ‘intelligent connector’ and trialed its use in agricultural sensing and control. In a customization project for their client, California-based AgTech Industries, Bulgin incorporated integrated electronics into a rugged miniaturized connector for AgTech’s new smart infield telemetry system called AgriCapture. AgTech asked Bulgin to develop a […]
Environmentally sealed connectors for harsh environments
ITT Cannon, Irvine, Cal., recently introduced high-performance, ruggedized and cost-effective cable-to-cable sealed connectors for reliable connections in harsh environments. The CTC Series is reportedly a simple-to-install, low-maintenance cable-to-cable interconnect suitable for a wide variety of less-than-ideal vehicle applications where reliable signal circuits are critical to operating performance. The CTC Series uses the industry-proven Trident T2P and […]
