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 […]

Making connections in harsh places
By Christian Taylor Sustaining Engineering Team Leader Bulgin Cambridge, U.K. While most of us live and work in relatively protected and safe indoor environments, much of the world’s most critical electronic systems and equipment operate in harsh conditions. Whether it’s water, dust, extreme weather, explosive atmospheres or pressure, a range of harsh environments can create […]
How to choose the right connector for low-pressure fluid handling
by Grant Wilhelm, Senior Design Engineer, Colder Products Co. Selecting the ideal tubing connector can ensure product performance, increase ease of use and add functionality to your product designs. Here’s a three-step guide. A range of products function by transferring liquids or gasses through small-diameter tubing—from patient beds and in vitro diagnostics in the medical […]
Cable connector for heavy-duty off-road machines
The SOURIAU (part of Esterline Connection Technologies) WME cable connector series is uniquely approved by the EN 16330 for both outside and inside cabin connectivity. This European Standard applies to power systems, drive implements and attachments such as street cleaning brushes, snow plows, etc., to ensure interchangeability of vehicles and implements to resolve both the compatibility issue and ensure […]
Wire-to-wire connectors for on-engine applications
MX150 sealed connectors from Molex Inc., Lisle Ill., have been expanded to support low-level signal and power applications for on-engine automotive, commercial vehicles and off-road construction equipment.
