To function both properly and durably, heavy-use and safety-critical applications and their interconnect system must be especially designed to withstand mechanical stress and environmental conditions without degrading power, signal, or data transmission.   Ruggedization methods and processes apply to the entire design, engineering, and manufacturing cycle in the creation of high-performance connectivity solutions. From choosing … Continued

Requirements for high-speed data transmission, the need for ever greater bandwidth and drastically increasing design complexity present new challenges to design engineers. Fischer Connectors’ white paper entitled "Signal Integrity for High-Speed Data Transmission, Challenges and Solutions" aims to help engineers optimize their products. It explains high-speed data transmission protocols, where problems may arise, and how … Continued

Choosing the right cable to use in any application depends on many parameters. One of the most important is its ability to thermally resist a maximum imposed current. To avoid over-dimensioning – which leads to higher costs, bigger space requirements and lower efficiency – finite element simulation is a good option. This is particularly true … Continued
