Following the acquisition by TE Connectivity of ABB’s ENTRELEC terminal block business, TE has now formally changed the name of ABB Poland to TE Connectivity Industrial Poland. The change, which is effective immediately, aligns with global efforts to present a unified brand and company for customers.

It has been announced by TE Connectivity (TE), a leader in connectivity and sensors, and ABB, a technology leader in electrification products, robotics and motion, industrial automation and power grids, that TE has closed its previously announced acquisition of ABB’s ENTRELEC terminal block business.

It has been announced that TE Connectivity (TE) has introduced its pre-insulated POD-LOK receptacle product line. These two in one products combine Positive Lock receptacles with housings meeting the glow wire test and UL 94 V-0 flammability.

It has been announced that TE Connectivity (TE) has introduced its next-gen 0.8mm free height board-to-board connectors, which achieve speeds of 32Gbps and higher. These high speed, mid density mezzanine solutions aim to deliver an excellent price-to-performance ratio and are 56Gbps PAM-4 and PCIe Gen five capable for future upgrades. 

It has been announced that TE Connectivity (TE) is promoting its very high temperature T1K, T2K and TSK labels. The white self-adhesive labels are suited for identifying components and assemblies that will undergo high temperature processes, environments such as soldering on printed circuit boards (PCB), or long periods at elevated temperatures.

TE Connectivity has extended its modular twisted pair cable assembly offering with new M12 cable assemblies. Conforming to EN45545 HL3 with fire and smoke characteristics, TE’s M12 cable assemblies are suitable for public transportation and other heavy industrial applications. Their rugged design enables them to withstand the vibrations experienced in trains and other demanding environments.

TE Connectivity (TE), has announced it has partnered with Annapolis Micro Systems, a leading FPGA board and systems supplier, on the release of three of their new high-performance FPGA boards that feature TE’s NanoRF module. The half-size NanoRF is designed to fit into the VITA 67.3 form factor and supports 70GHz bandwidth, with more than double the RF contact density of existing VITA 67 solutions.

Recently introduced by connectivity and sensor specialist TE Connectivity (TE), is its new right angle cabled STRADA Whisper backplane connectors. Primarily used to connect graphics processing unit (GPU) to GPU within a switch or server, these connectors save valuable space and allow designers to fit inside an enclosure with the right angle cabled design.

The introduction of ELCON Micro power connectors has been announced by TE Connectivity. The connectors deliver high current density in a commonly used industry footprint of 3mm. The new connectors provide 12.5A per pin, making them useful for servers, switches, storage devices and testing machines.

It has been announced that TE Connectivity (TE) has extended its range of Heavy Duty Connectors (HDC) by introducing a series of high current solutions for harsh outdoor environments, suited for applications in new energy, rail as well as power generation and distribution.

A new extra-large array (XLA) socket technology has been introduced by TE Connectivity (TE). The array aims to provide more reliable performance with 78% better warpage control than traditional molded socket technologies. The XLA socket technology allows TE to design enhanced sockets to support high data speeds in next-gen data centres.

A range in crimping tools and terminals, SOLISTRAND solderless terminals and splices, from TE Connectivity (TE) has played a key role in powering technology for over 70 years.

TE Connectivity has introduced MU27P connectors to ensure control and communication connections between railway locomotives and vehicles. The 27-point plugs and receptacles (including dummy receptacles) allow a single point in the train to issue up to 27 commands to all or some of the vehicles simultaneously. These connectors convey signals such as door controls and indications, public address, brake applied/released indications, as well as ...

TE Connectivity has revealed its newly developed cost optimised backshell for DMC-MD single module connectors. The new backshell offers a cost saving addition to TE’s existing DEUTSCH DMC-MD single module series product line. DMC-MD connectors are among the most widely used connector styles in aircraft In-Flight Entertainment (IFE), cabin and avionics systems.

TE Connectivity has added the LUMAWISE Z45 LED Holder to its range of holders for chip-on-board (COB) LEDs. The second-generation LED holder from TE is made in a high-strength, highly reflective halogen-free flame retardant thermoplastic (PBT). The Z45 LED holder is 5mm smaller in diameter compared to TE’s Z50 holder and uses adhesive for fast and easy assembly of the COB LEDs in the luminaire.

TE Connectivity has announced the seven trillionth (7,000,000,000,000) shipment of PLASTI-GRIP terminals since the inception of the company. TE can trace its experience in the development of solderless terminals and crimp technology back to 1948, when Uncas A. Whitaker, the founder of AMP (Aero-Marine Products) invented PLASTI-GRIP – one of the first ever insulated solderless terminals.

TE Connectivity has introduced a new range of inserts for heavy duty connectors that comply with the EN45545 European standard on flame retardancy for materials and products in railway rolling stock. The modular inserts provide customers with a high level of flexibility when configuring railway connector systems. They can be configured to hold anywhere from 1 to 216 pins and enable signal, data and power to be transmitted via one single conn...
