Hirose signal connectors in the TME catalogue

Signal connectors seem to be unremarkable, but they are actually an essential part of modern electronics. Nowadays, when data transfer and communication technologies are developing faster and faster, connectors play a key role in the smooth and reliable transfer of information between devices. This applies to connections in simple and common electronic devices as well as in more complex industrial and medical systems.
