Sensification of personal healthcare requires specific components — A holistic approach
When developing sensification systems for personal healthcare, monitoring, and diagnoses, designers need to consider many factors that contribute to the integrity of a sensed signal and to the ability of a system to operate reliably, regardless of the environment. The sensor itself needs to be non-invasive and comfortable to wear, while being accurate and stable […]
Power connectors support next-gen needs with up to 140 A/contact
TE Connectivity today introduced Multi-Beam Plus connectors, the latest evolution of its highly-successful power connector line. They share the same low-profile dimensions and enable the same through-system airflow as previous designs such as Multi-Beam XL, XLE and HD power connectors. Multi-Beam Plus connectors satisfy the demand for higher-power solutions by providing a high current per […]
Edge card connectors support up to 16 Gbps speeds
TE Connectivity today introduced its new PCIe Gen 4 card edge connectors, which meet industry PCI-SIG Card Electromechanical (CEM) specification 4.0 and support Intel and AMD next-generation platforms with up to 16 Gbps of bandwidth. Designed to support next-generation CPUs for better system application scaling and higher bandwidth in servers, storage, workstations and desktop PCs, […]
Heilind Electronics adds TE Connectivity’s SOLARLOK 2.0 connector to portfolio
Heilind Electronics recently introduced TI Connectivity’s new SOLARLOK 2.0 connector. This new connector enables solar installers to make in-field panel connections more easily, quickly and cost-effectively. TE Connectivity’s SOLARLOK 2.0 is a toolless field-installable product that uses Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC) technology to create a connection between panels and cables without the need for any […]

Exploring connectors for the industrial IoT
Industrial IoT (IIoT), or Industry 4.0, is revolutionizing the way factories, suppliers and customers share their digital knowledge. From process control and automotive assembly, to robotics and the food and beverage industry, the concept behind Industry 4.0 touches all industries. However, the benefits of IIoT are not available at the flick of a switch. To […]
Wire-to-board power cable plugs and assemblies deliver up to 12.5 A per pin
TE Connectivity has launched an expanded portfolio of ELCON Micro wire-to-board products, which provides a high current up to 12.5 A per pin in the common industry footprint of 3.0 mm, and now includes custom cable assemblies and a cable plug solution for design flexibility. These new products complement TE’s ELCON Micro connectors, which were […]
High-voltage DC EV600 contactors available with 12- or 24-V coils
TE Connectivity (TE) released its new KILOVAC EV600 high voltage DC contactors. Hermetically sealed and designed for harsh environments, EV600 contactors are rated to handle more current than the widely-used EV200/LEV200 contactors without taking up additional space on the board. Rated for 600-amps, TE’s EV600 is the latest addition to the KILOVAC high-performance contactor line. […]
The role of sensors in IoT networks, Part 2: Smart sensors and how to choose
Part 2 of this series continues with answering common questions about how sensors work in IoT system development. What are smart sensors? Basic sensors can detect changes in their environments and convert measured data into a digital format for the external microcontroller to process. The “smart” is in the microcontroller. Combining the microcontrollers in a […]
