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

In all branches of industry, efficient operations stand or fall by the quality of their connection technology. After all, the basic requirement for smooth processes is that data is exchanged reliably between machines. However, since the sensors used for this purpose are becoming ever smaller, connection technology also has to be suitably miniaturized – and … Continued
