It’s electrifying! From deindustrialisation to reindustrialisation

It’s electrifying! From deindustrialisation to reindustrialisation

What is the future of decarbonisation for industry? Well, as a wise man once said – namely, Danny Zuko in the hit musical Grease – “It’s electrifying!”

Why contacts are crucial to connector functionality

Why contacts are crucial to connector functionality

Connectors are vital in facilitating seamless communication and power transmission in various devices and systems. At the heart of these connectors lie their often-overlooked components: contacts. These small but critical elements ensure the reliability, efficiency and durability of connectors across industries. Here, John Embleton, Customer Application Engineer at PEI-Genesis, delves into why contacts are indispensable to connector functionality.

What support products does it take to maximise the impact of VFDs and VSDs?

What support products does it take to maximise the impact of VFDs and VSDs?

Using variable speed drives (VSDs) and variable frequency drives (VFDs) is necessary to maximise industrial operations' efficiency and sustainability, but it’s not sufficient. To get the maximum benefit from VSDs/VFDs, additional components like high-performance cables, braking resistors, line filters, line reactors, output reactors, and more are needed.

Specifying connectors for harsh environments

Specifying connectors for harsh environments

David Phillips, Managing Director of binder UK, discusses how increasing automation and computerisation of heavy farming and construction equipment leads to the growing demand for connectors capable of withstanding extremely harsh operating environments.

Are we stuck in the ICE age?

Are we stuck in the ICE age?

The headlines around electric vehicles (EVs) have been less than optimistic recently. While the news cycle is negative, the reality is that we must continue to push for the electrification of all transportation to align with global climate targets. So, what can automakers and OEMs do to support the electric shift? Mark Barfield, Engineering Manager at Cressall, shares his insight.
