AXISENSE-G dynamic tilt sensor uses gyroscope compensation for dynamic and harsh environments. Worldwide safety regulations in aerial work platforms and agriculture and construction vehicles are becoming more rigorous than ever. From an excavator digging trenches to a boom lift helping workers pick cherries or install overland lines, tilt sensors confirm that safety and increased uptime […]

Optimizing in-vehicle data networks
Physical channels have limits that affect the practicalities of automotive network architecture and communication protocols. Here’s the lowdown on current work aimed at breaking bandwidth bottlenecks. CHRIS RUSCH, BERT BERGNER | TE Connectivity It has become a truism that we have an insatiable appetite for data. Not so obvious is the effect our need for […]
Single-pair ethernet system targets commercial aircraft uses
TE Connectivity has announced its new Mini-ETH single pair ethernet system for commercial aircraft that offers substantial weight savings, more bandwidth and simpler installation and maintenance by using proven technologies from other markets. As designers search for greater efficiency onboard aircraft, TE’s new Mini-ETH system offers them up to 73% weight savings in cables and up […]
Optical termini in new single mode and multimode expanded beam variations
TE Connectivity is releasing its EB16 expanded beam optical pin and socket termini in new single mode and multimode variations. Both variations are based on an updated design that includes springless mating and crimpless cable retention. EB16 termini are built on TE’s PRO BEAM expanded beam connector technology, which expands and collimates the optical signal […]
SMI pressure sensor package enables portable applications
TE Connectivity (TE) has developed a minimal footprint SMI SO-10 pressure sensor package with vertical port, which is now in full production. Inside the housing, a MEMS pressure sensor, based on TE’s proprietary silicon technology platform, and an advanced signal-conditioning IC are combined to provide a fully pressure calibrated and temperature compensated output. Covering gauge […]
Test gear checks out OPEN Alliance TC9 test spec for 1000BASE-T1
Rohde & Schwarz and connectivity and sensor component manufacturer TE Connectivity have successfully tested a communication link, utilizing Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cables and TE’s MATEnet data connector system, for compliance with the One-Pair Ethernet (OPEN) Alliance Technical Committee (TC) group 9 test specification for 1000BASE-T1. Automotive Ethernet is becoming the preferred solution for in-vehicle […]
TE Connectivity and TE Connectivity Foundation support global fight against COVID-19
TE Connectivity and the TE Connectivity Foundation, a private charitable foundation funded entirely by TE, have donated more than $1 million to organizations supporting the fight against COVID-19. The TE Foundation approved a $1 million emergency grant to Global Impact, a philanthropic partner across the private, nonprofit and public sectors, to fund diagnostics, therapeutics and […]
Optical networks gear up for 5G
5G is bringing higher bandwidth to mobile users, which pushes more data on the optical networks. Optical networks need greater capacity and more flexibility. Every mobile phone user expects 5G to let them download movies faster and more reliably than LTE networks. Plus, 5G will open the door to new use cases we haven’t conceived…
Strada Whisper cable receptacles allow for high-speed signal data rates
TE Connectivity today announced the launch of its new Strada Whisper cable receptacles, which can allow engineers to start designing for up to 112G PAM-4 data rates in servers, switches and routers. These cable receptacles incorporate Strada Whisper connectors on one end and connect to a variety of other high speed solutions on the other, […]
Hot topic: Electric vehicle components get more sophisticated thermal models
The high electrical currents of fast charging are forcing designers to invent standard techniques for predictably modeling heat and cooling. Dr. Michael Ludwig, T&C Core Technologies, TE Connectivity The only way electric vehicles (EVs) will ever catch on is if consumers can charge them up quickly. Consequently, manufacturers are developing high-power charging (HPC) schemes which […]
