Innovation requires engineering solutions that can turn impossible ideas into awesome realities. Taking an amazing concept from imagination to production requires the right mix of technical capabilities, component engineering and production expertise. TE Connectivity (TE), a global leader in connectivity and sensors, Arrow and Indiegogo want to be part of your project and help you bring your concept to life.
A TE technology partnership allows you to capitalize on a wide range of high quality, high performance and cost effective modules and components within Arrow and Indiegogo’s groundbreaking crowdfund-to-production platform. By utilizing Arrow’s certification program, and receiving an “Arrow Certified” campaign badge, your campaign gains access to business enabling tools, services and expertise. You can leverage capabilities that include everything from technical design support and (Bill of Material) BOM optimization to engineering tool access and Arrow media exposure. Access to these resources adds immediate credibility to the campaign, boosting the confidence of potential backers to show that your project has what it takes to go to market.
Product development with tight deadlines requires collaboration with experienced partners that have a shared vision for success. The smart, integrated and interoperable product of today is becoming increasingly complex inside a rapidly changing and highly competitive market space. There is little time to invest in solving underlying hardware challenges, so entrepreneurs need to base designs on solid, reliable technology. More than this, designs must encompass the need for eco-friendly solutions to ensure a cleaner, safer and more beautiful world. TE manufacturers its extensive range of sensors, connectors, relays, passives and antennas in close proximity to its clients, enabling the reduction of their global carbon footprint while at the same time fostering reliable and responsive component supplies.
Regulatory approvals continue to develop and standards become increasingly difficult to meet. The Electromagnetic interference, power efficiency and environmental requirements of today may not be sufficient to meet the requirements of your product tomorrow. TE’s advanced development labs continually explore ways to help meet the needs of next generation products in direct involvement with a diverse range of industries including automotive, appliance, data communications, industrial systems and consumer electronics. This exposure to the world’s top manufacturers puts TE at the heart of technological breakthroughs, helping to develop commercially viable solutions. By adopting TE as a technology partner, you can tap into this R&D investment and stay up to date with the best solutions available.
If power or signals flow through it, TE has a solution to connect and sense it. Electrical connections and electronic devices are a potential source of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. TE helps innovators solve tough EMI emission problems by providing cost effective filtering with products such as the Corcom V series filters used in applications like bicycle rental kiosks. As bicycle kiosks grow in popularity throughout the globe, TE’s Corcom series enable manufacturers to help meet the demanding levels of compensation for both emissive and conducted interference.
Your idea may need to overcome traditional connector restrictions and classical design constraints. TE connectors help you realize performance and reliability essential to the technology of tomorrow. Imagine the ultimate connector solution; what would it be like? Unlimited mating cycles, total rotational freedom, simple, flexible, reliable and safe connections carrying power and high speed data. Wouldn’t it be amazing if they could operate in extreme, dusty environments, and be able to replace complex and expensive harnesses and mechanical slip rings that are prone to failure? TE can help you realize the impossible with the innovative ARISO Contactless Connector System. Enabling the reliable delivery of power and data connected in the harshest environments the ARISO Contactless Connector System can build in flexibility, help improve reliability, simplify maintenance and reduce system cost.
When it comes to turning your impossible ideas into realities, the sky is the limit with TE. TE’s contribution to aerospace innovation is demonstrated by providing negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors to NASA’s Juno spacecraft. As the mission explores Jupiter’s atmosphere, the fluxgate magnetometers experience severe temperature changes, effecting reliable measurement. As the spacecraft gathers data and ultimately crashes into the atmosphere of Jupiter, TE’s NTCs measure the magnetometer temperature to clarify readings and improve the reliability of the system.
Other examples of TE’s technology used in mission critical applications include pressure sensors that can monitor rocket-body shell stress in aerospace applications, and MEMS accelerometer solutions used in the Solar Impulse project. Perhaps the most amazing example of rugged reliability and technical achievement is the first spacecraft to explore the Jovian system—Pioneer 10. After a successful mission that exceeded expectations, the spacecraft containing TE’s legacy NTC components achieved interstellar escape velocity and is currently over 10 billion miles from earth. For over 40 years, TE’s space-qualified precision sensing and connectivity solutions have orbited our planet, travelled the solar system and are heading towards the stars.
TE’s ecologically aware corporate vision encompasses the leading technology available in affordable and reliable solutions. Gain immediate traction by using TE’s leading edge technology to help bring your ideas to life by enabling you to meet the toughest international, and even space qualified standards of performance. Design hardware systems with TE’s solutions and choose a path that helps to reduce development risk through capitalizing on decades of application experience. Develop solutions through working with TE regional RF and EMI testing services to ensure components help meet your specific requirements in the real world. From single engineers to large development teams, projects can gain immediate benefit from TE’s forward thinking vision. Turn today’s impossible into tomorrow’s awesome with a TE technology partnership.
