Magnetic connectors – redefining the convenience and reliability of connections

In the use of traditional connectors, frequent plugging and unplugging can lead to loose interfaces, poor contact, and high maintenance costs. Magnetic connectors are gradually becoming the preferred solution for engineers and product managers. Read more...

Altech’s 60 Amp Pin & Sleeve connectors are built for secure, reliable power connections in demanding industrial environments. Read more...

EMI-Protected Backshell Solutions
Amphenol PCD backshells provide strain relief, environmental protection, and EMI/RFI shielding at the termination area of virtually any connector. Read more...

In a recent webinar, experts from Micross — a leading global provider of mission-critical microelectronic components, services and specialized packaging for high-reliability markets — discussed the resources and requirements to develop an efficient and reliable advanced packaging supply chain for U.S.-based microelectronics production.

Non-invasive testing in live environments where safety is of paramount concern.

No more need to strip or cut wire to be tested, just simple grab the wire you want to test and pierce it with the insulation needle or needles on the contact tip. With needle removal, there is only a small incision left behind to maintain wire integrity for long-lasting use. Read more...

When the "click" fails: Designing tactile feedback that lasts

Your user presses a button and nothing feels definite. They press again. On a medical device or a vehicle control, that half-second of doubt is a design failure, even if the signal technically registered.
Tactile feedback is not a detail. It is how the human body confirms that a command has been accepted, without l... Read more...

The PotCon® line of hermetic bulkhead connector feedthroughs incorporate standard connectors and wire harnesses in a single, fully sealed housing. Read more...

All gloveboxes require power, signal, and data transfer without compromising the internal environment. Hermetic feedthroughs enable this while maintaining a reliable seal. Standard connectors like IEC C19 and NEMA 15 and 20 provide flexible, safe solutions based on voltage and current needs, ensuring consistent performance across a range of applications. Read more...

EX approved connectors are engineered for use in hazardous environments, meeting stringent U.S. and Canadian Ex-proof standards. These connectors are tested for safe performance in explosive atmospheres—ideal for oil & gas, marine, and industrial applications. PEI-Genesis offers value-added assembly of Amphenol’s Amphe-EX™ and Star-Line EX® series. Read more...

Size, Weight and Performance Optimization: A Monobloc Connector for High-Performance EMC Shielding

Protecting sensitive signals against electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a physical challenge, especially when space is limited. Standard solutions often force a difficult compromise: ensure effective shielding or save valuable space.

To reconcile signal integrity with high... Read more...
