Fiber optic ideal for tough tasks
Digitization isn’t just for “quiet” environments like the home and office. It’s also making inroads in tunnel drilling projects, mining and other rugged settings. Given the harsh environments, the requirements for components are quite high. Large distances, together with the high bandwidths, make fiber-optic cable (FOC) the indispensable conductive medium for industrial Ethernet. HARTING has […]
Learn how the IoT will impact connectors in our weekly Technology Tuesdays Podcast
In our first Design World Technology Tuesdays Podcasts for the month of February, I spoke with HARTING North America Inc.’s President & CEO Jon DeSouza about the impact Industry 4.0 or the Internet of Things (IoT) will have on interconnect technologies. In addition, DeSouza touches on wireless connectivity in industrial designs, and how this move […]
What are modular industrial connectors?
Not to be confused with low-speed communication connectors used in phone and data networks, modular industrial connectors are rugged assemblies that allow different connector modules to be inserted into the connector housing. Power, signal, fiber optic, data, and pneumatic signals can all interface with a machine in one compact connector versus hardwiring with numerous lines and […]
Wire-to-board connectors and terminal blocks
HARTING, Elgin, Ill., has unveiled its new har-flexicon series of discrete wire-to-board connectors and terminal blocks that deliver greater PCB performance and density with robust connectivity. These miniature components offer design and manufacturing flexibility, whatever the termination technology, that make possible a lower all-in cost of the PCB. These har-flexicon SMT (Surface Mount Termination) components for pluggable single conductor wiring […]
