What makes a good mission-critical electrical connector?

What makes a good mission-critical electrical connector?

In mission-critical industries, such as the military industry, electrical components must be versatile, reliable and rugged to ensure successful operational outcomes. Here, John Skinner, European Product Manager at PEI-Genesis, explains how reverse bayonet connectors are well suited to these applications and why they have a reputation for being some of the most reliable and robust connectors available today.

Design considerations for interconnect technology used in EV powertrains

Design considerations for interconnect technology used in EV powertrains

Electric vehicles (EVs) are set to become the basis of future transport, and the transition is happening much more quickly than imagined. In the last 18 months, EV uptake has increased dramatically, with the inflated oil prices currently being experienced likely to accelerate adoption still further.

Unlock the benefits of flexible manufacturing with modular connectors

Unlock the benefits of flexible manufacturing with modular connectors

Global uncertainties have had a profound effect on manufacturing and its supply chains. From plant shutdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic to the current issues with sourcing raw materials, this upheaval has caused companies to re-evaluate their manufacturing and supply chain structures to improve resiliency.

“The future of energy”: Huge hydrogen plant opens in Germany

“The future of energy”: Huge hydrogen plant opens in Germany

Siemens has commissioned one of Germany’s largest hydrogen-generation plants in Wunsiedel, Upper Franconia, which is set to cut carbon emissions dramatically.

Etching a new future for electrolyser manufacturing

Etching a new future for electrolyser manufacturing

As the world continues to adapt to powering its vehicles, towns and cities with zero-carbon energy, the demand for new technologies is gathering pace. Karl Hollis, Director of Engineering at Precision Micro, looks at how the current design and manufacturing process for bipolar plates, a component used in electrolysers that produce and store green hydrogen, could be made faster and more cost-effectively using chemical etching technology.
