Engineering Considerations for Medical Connectors
Connectors used within medical equipment are often subject to stringent medical standards. This is particularly the case when the connector is directly connected to a patient or managed by medical per...

Engineering Connector Considerations for Sensor Applications
There are innumerable applications that rely on sensors to operate; however, the sensors themselves rely on their interconnect to be able to transmit these critical signals in real-time through a wire...

The Importance of Understanding the Connector in a Cable Assembly
Cables serve as the main “highway” for electronic power and signals, providing “off-ramps” ranging from simple one-way connections to several multi-point interfaces. Though both electronic and...

A Look at Connectors and Their Engineering Considerations for Transportation Applications
The transportation industry covers quite a broad range of applications from mass transit and railway to marine and off-road equipment. Within these applications, a vast array of connector arrangements...

Opportunities for Clipzin™ in Industrial Applications
Clipzin™, the patent-pending PCB-mounted edge connector, allows single board modules to be simply fixed to a host PCB.

Custom Connectors - The Value of an Experienced Connector Manufacturer
There comes a time when an engineer will find themself in a situation where standard, off-the-shelf connectors are unable to meet all application needs, but trying to design a custom connector is no s...
