Considerations in Using “Ruggedized” I/O Connectors

The focus of concern in the expansion and adoption of electric vehicles into society has recently shifted from range anxiety to concern over charging speed and accessibility, which is driving the development and expansion of the EV fast-charging station infrastructure. What are some of the considerations that the designer should think about when choosing the connector suite for an advanced EV charging solution? 

The explosive growth in mobile solutions and cloud computing puts a great deal of pressure on communication infrastructures, which must handle the large amounts of data being moved around. Let’s explore some of the considerations involved in choosing your data infrastructure and how using optical transceivers can address those needs.

Modern electronics are being deployed in more and more harsh environments, where they must work optimally. The cables and connectors used need to be as rugged as the package they are connected to, or system performance may be compromised.

Today’s industrial, enterprise, and warehouse ecosystems and infrastructures are changing as the industry migrates towards more automated solutions. These advanced systems will provide significant cost, performance, and safety advances at every level, but can only do so if they are deployed with the right interconnect infrastructure. There is a growing need for automation solutions to have expanded functionality while also reducing the load on the related wireless infrastructures. These next-generation solutions include autonomous robots and vehicles with sophisticated capabilities. An important design consideration often overlooked is the importance of the right interconnectivity solutions to ensure optimal system performance. 

The explosive growth in next-generation solutions leveraging Cloud-supported IoT devices has created an expanding need for smart products to both expand functionality and reduce the load on the related wireless infrastructures. Among these are advanced lighting solutions to serve as smart fixtures that perform a variety of tasks previously not possible in a cost-effective manner. These next-generation functionalities include light-based device communications as well as sophisticated room-awareness capabilities. An important design consideration often overlooked is the importance of the right interconnectivity solutions to ensure optimal system performance.

In this podcast, experts from Amphenol and Avnet discuss the importance of selecting the right connectors for your battery management system (BMS) solution. In this podcast we have Shakib Shaikh, a business development manager at Amphenol, and Miguel Tapia from Avnet, talking about automotive battery management systems and important design considerations in choosing the right connector solution.
