We help designers meet the market?s demands for ever smaller, faster, less costly and more reliable electronic communication and data transfer. Our custom strip products and specialty copper beryllium alloys allow designers to optimize contact designs and interconnect reliability while minimizing the amount of material used, thus reducing overall component cost and the amount of electronic waste without sacrificing performance. With our extensive knowledge of design, tooling, fabrication and metallurgy, we are able to provide customers a significant improvement in the time to market and time to volume of new products. The end user benefits with higher mean time between failures, lower service costs and greater life cycle reliability. Our copper beryllium strip and rod alloys offer an unmatched combination of high strength, high conductivity, excellent stress relaxation resistance and formability. Readily available worldwide, these alloys provide a cost-effective, reliable solution for customers in the connector industries. Materion is also one of the world's leading resources for clad metal, electroplating, and other customized, high performance specialty strip products for connector applications. We offer customers an unmatched range of reel-to-reel technologies and custom-engineered metal solutions, which go beyond the capabilities of single alloys available in the marketplace.
Connector Specifier Editorial Guide: Optimizing Efficiency and Performance in Automotive System Design
(9/6/11)
The electrical and electronic circuits running through an automobile are the equivalent of the vehicle’s central nervous system. Complex and critical to performance and safety, these systems are often taken for granted by the ultimate consumer but are a key consideration for automotive-system designers. The connectivity within these systems is paramount to their performance. The articles in this Connector Specifier editorial guide highlight some recent examples of the potential for failures within connected automotive systems, and also examine the options available to automotive design teams to optimize efficiency and performance. |
