Is it best to install hardwiring or use plug-and-play modular connectors? Whether they’re designing industrial machinery or consumer devices, many engineers confront this choice, and they’re increasingly choosing to switch from point-to-point wiring to connector-based cable assemblies. Not only has this strategy been found to lower costs and increase flexibility, but also it can boost […]

Electronics and water are not naturally compatible. The combination can produce inconvenient, frustrating, or even fatal consequences. Fortunately, engineers have devised ways of protecting electronics from liquids, moisture, and humidity to ensure their functionality and safety. For example, sealed connectors can safeguard connectivity solutions in environments that involve dripping or splashing water, high-pressure water jets, […]

Typically made of electrically conductive metals like nickel, cadmium, copper, and various alloys, electrical contacts ensure the flow of electricity in an electrical circuit. When the contacts touch, the circuit is “closed” and able to carry the current. Although the metals used to construct contacts are strong and capable, they can deteriorate over time due […]

From automated pizza delivery vehicles to robotic “dogs” that measure radiation levels in contaminated areas, the robotics industry is booming in 2021. In fact, per Industry Week’s 2020 Technology Survey, robotics continue to be a primary area of interest for manufacturers. Robotics across industries all have one thing in common: precision connectivity products. As industry disruptors […]

We live in a throw-away society, where far too often products are designed for disposability rather than longevity. Instead of repairing and maintaining malfunctioning parts, we’ve become accustomed to tossing them out and seeking replacements. Not only is this bad for the planet, but also it’s expensive and impractical. Do you want to throw out […]

In the unyielding vastness of space, rugged and reliable equipment isn’t just helpful – it’s essential. Space-bound equipment must withstand numerous obstacles, including extreme temperatures, shock, and vibration. The technology used within spacecraft equipment carries a lot of responsibility and can threaten the equipment’s lifespan and performance, so it must undergo rigorous testing on earth […]

Whether you need connectors for military applications, avionics equipment, or communication systems, when you’re looking for M24308 connectors, you want the real deal. A product that’s simply intermatable or dimensionally equivalent can’t compare with a qualified connector that has been rigorously reviewed, tested, and approved for inclusion on a Qualified Products List (QPL). At Positronic, […]

As datacenter continue to surge in popularity, their energy needs are escalating as well. In fact, many large data centers require as much electricity as an entire city! According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, U.S. data centers guzzled down 91 billion kilowatt hours in 2013, and our annual consumption is projected to increase by […]

Did you know that almost every product you’ve touched today was likely the result of an automated manufacturing process? A milk carton, a tube of toothpaste, your car, your computer: all of these items are now typically produced through a largely automated system. We’re currently in the midst of a digital transformation, and many manufacturers […]

by Jay Sandidge, Director of Sales, Asia Pacific Electronic connectors come in many sizes and shapes, and there are arguments and rationale for every variety. Many of the most ubiquitous high-reliability connectors are circular, or more accurately, cylindrical. Circular power and signal connectors can be used in many applications, ranging from aerospace equipment to medical […]
