OFC 2024: Network equipment
The infrastructure of data communications networks needs lots of fiber, semiconductors, and network equipment to bring data to the masses. Optical data networks form the backbone of today’s communications. Data centers, which seem to dominate any discussion of digital communications, depend heavily on fiber-optic connections from a few meters to many kilometers. Getting those bits…
Addressing demand for advanced data acquisition for precise condition monitoring
TE Connectivity has added two new wireless pressure sensors to its portfolio: a 65xxN wireless pressure sensor, for short-range coverage, and 69xxN wireless pressure sensor, for long-range coverage. Designed for periodic condition monitoring, the 65xxN wireless pressure sensor leverages BLE (Bluetooth low energy) 5.3 communications, to support localized data collection and transmission. Given the widespread presence of Bluetooth in […]
The future of autonomy for on-highway vehicles
Contributed by Lisa Viazanko, Vice President and CTO of Industrial, Commercial Transportation, TE Connectivity The promise of fully autonomous on-highway vehicles has enthralled manufacturers, consumers, and the media alike. The world awaits a future where trucks, busses, and emergency vehicles can be operated entirely by automation and respond to ever-changing environmental and traffic conditions. The […]
Heavy-duty sealed connector series suits growing density and power demands
As density and power demands increase within the industrial and commercial transportation industry, TE Connectivity has expanded its Heavy-Duty Sealed Connector series to include more than half a dozen new products. With these new additions, there are now six different connector sizes, 23 different standard configurations and seven fixing slides for different panel thickness in […]
Shielded panel and PCB connectors expand harsh environment capabilities
TE Connectivity is extending its time-tested 369 connector series with the new 369 shielded rectangular panel and PCB connectors for environments that demand ambient EMI noise protection. These connectors incorporate the benefits of the 369 series and create opportunities with additional applications such as ethernet, power distribution and mixed signal/power devices. “The combination of shielding […]
Miniaturized connector system helps automotive OEMs reduce component size and weight
With the increasing amount of electrical content within vehicles, the automotive industry is challenged to find solutions that reduce component packaging and weight without impacting performance. To address this need, TE Connectivity has developed PicoMQS miniaturized automotive connector system. Designed for space-constrained signal interfaces that require automotive-grade robustness, optimized performance, minimized packaging and ease of […]
High-voltage contactors feature light weight, compact size
TE Connectivity released an additional configuration of its KILOVAC CAP120R contactor. TE’s KILOVAC CAP120R contactor is ideal for defense, marine, UAM (urban air mobility), UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) commercial, and military aerospace applications requiring lightweight latching coils and reduced power consumption. The CAP120R contactor now features a high-voltage latching configuration. The 150-amp DC contactor also includes a […]
Coherent optics move toward interoperability
At OFC 2022, OIF demonstrated products from several companies communicating with each other based on a standard for interoperable coherent optics. Other demonstrations included a 112 Gb/sec electrical link, flexible Ethernet, co-packaging, and a 224 Gb/sec technology proposal.
