With a new generation of electric cars requiring different production techniques and technologies, the automotive industry is in a fundamental process of change characterised by ongoing development. Standard solutions are often not adequate anymore and suppliers need to adapt their products accordingly. With its customised ceramic component solutions for the non-ferrous molten metal industry, CeramTec supports the automotive industry on its way towards e-mobility.
When designing industrial equipment, the operating temperature of the product is often at the top of the list for design engineers. This makes sense, after all, you don’t want to keep replacing failed equipment. However, while engineers give a lot of thought to heat in the equipment itself, the performance of the connectors and cables that join different devices is often overlooked. Here, Jonathan Parry, Senior Vice President of Global Operations and European Managing Director at cables and connectors specialist PEI-Genesis, explains how to choose an extreme temperature connector.
