contact surfaces - Delivering strong performance with less gold
Contact surfaces - Delivering strong performance with less gold
25.07.2023Plating coated with gold is still the number one choice in situations where a connector needs to be fully reliable over the long term – even under demanding operating and environmental conditions. However, the performance required in many applications can also be achieved with a coating system that does the job with a lower gold content.
Board-to-Board Connectors - reliability beyond specification
Board-to-board connectors - reliability beyond specification
02.08.2023Industrially manufactured goods are being put to the test more and more. In addition to high quality standards and compliance with technical specifications, the environmental compatibility of all elements of the supply chain is becoming increasingly important. And the connector market is no exception. ept GmbH traditionally coordinates all production and supply processes in such a way that, in addition to the highest level of quality, all conceivable sustainably oriented corporate management criteria come into play.
The Inverter in electromobility applications and connector requirements
The Inverter in electromobility applications and connector requirements
25.03.2022Battery management systems and power electronics play a key role in electromobility because they connect different components in electric vehicles. Connectors are what provide the connection function within inverters. These are needed to control and transmit signals, data, and high currents reliably, safely, quickly, and without losses despite demanding operating conditions. To do this, the connectors have to meet a number of requirements in terms of temperature resistance, compactness, and flexibility, as well as performance and robustness.
HPC - The shift in automotive electrical systems
HPC - The shift in automotive electrical systems
27.06.2023Increased electrical costs due to the electromobility transition, autonomous driving, and infotainment systems with high-definition 4K resolution call for new electrical system architectures in automotive engineering. The traditional decentralized electrical system architecture is reaching its limits due to its complexity and the high-speed properties required for it. ept offers the right board-to-board connectors to meet these challenges.
