In recent years, there has been a dramatic shift in the design of heavy outdoor machinery and equipment, with a move from mechanical and hydraulic components to electro-technical devices incorporating sophisticated, computer-controlled electronics and telematics systems. Such innovation has dictated the increasing need for ‘harsh environment’ connectors suitable for use in these difficult conditions.
Ensuring reliability whatever the conditions
Serving as vital links for power and signal transmission in numerous applications, harsh environment connectors are essential in modern engineering. In harsh outdoor conditions, where materials and designs are tested to their limits, the reliability of these connectors is critical. These connectors must possess unique characteristics and meet stringent requirements to ensure the reliability of applications across demanding sectors.
