Rugged Connectors Meet Emerging Application Challenges
Bishop & Associates has just released a new research report providing detailed market and application analysis of connectors used in environmentally challenging environments. This 22-chapter, 460-page report identifies the key characteristics of rugged and ruggedized connectors and how the connector industry is responding to increasing demand for connectors that can survive moisture, dust, shock, vibration, temperature extremes, pressure, EMI/ESD, as well as mechanical abuse. A rugged connector can be designed specifically for duty in harsh environments, or a commercial-grade connector can be modified to survive harsh environments.
Market segments that currently utilize rugged connectors include:
