Connection technology competence centre: innovation and quality

22.08.2024

In an increasingly digitalised and technologically advanced world dominated by electronics and complex technical systems, connection technology takes on a central role. The safe and efficient connection of printed circuit boards and electrical devices is crucial for the functionality and durability of these systems. This is where we come in: with German engineering, high-quality materials and flexible production, we are setting new standards in the industry. But how exactly do we achieve this? In this article, we provide a comprehensive overview of our expertise in connection technology and show why we are the right partner for your projects.

Development of innovative and customised terminal blocks

Our connection technology competence centre specialises in the development of standard and customised connection solutions for printed circuit boards and electrical devices. A particular focus lies on the direct integration of current-conducting contact components in device or socket housings. This technology is now an essential part of many of our solutions. Our team also develops cost-effective designs for free-standing pins on SMD boards as well as hybrid solutions that combine stamped contacts and test probes. To ensure the quality and safety of these connections, we have our own test laboratory where all connections are tested in accordance with VDE and UL.

Fast prototypes and customised products

Another advantage of our competence centre is the rapid production of prototypes and mounting devices, for example with the help of 3D printers. This enables us to react quickly to specific requirements and offer customised solutions. The scope of supply also includes special versions of PCB terminal blocks and PCB multi connectors, such as special solder pins, different colours or partially assembled terminal blocks. We also offer the supply of assemblies, fully loaded PCBs with or without pre-assembled cables as well as PCB terminal blocks and pin strips in tape and reel packaging, tubes or on trays. In addition, products can be individually printed or labelled using ink jet or laser marking, which is a comprehensive service for customer-specific solutions in connection technology.

Extensive portfolio of PCB terminal blocks and PCB multi connectors for various industries

Our range of terminal blocks includes a variety of PCB terminal blocks and PCB multi connectors that offers maximum user-friendliness and reliable processing. This includes:

  • Screw terminals blocks with wire protection, lift or excenter type
  • Spring terminal blocks with push-in connection technology or tension spring design

These connector systems, which are offered together with pin strips, are available in various colours and designs like all our terminal blocks and meet the highest standards of connection technology.

Our connection technology is used in a wide range of industries, including:

  • Automotive sector (e-mobility, railway technology)
  • Building automation and management
  • Renewable energies (electricity networking, storage technologies)
  • Automation (automation technology, process automation, industrial and power electronics)
  • Security technology (surveillance technology, emergency lighting, access control, fire alarm systems)

Production and logistics

Our production facilities in Tunisia and China are an important part of our logistics strategy. The individual parts warehouse in Tunisia is supplied weekly, while finished parts are delivered to Germany two to three times a week. In China, we produce important individual parts for our PCB terminal blocks and multi connectors, such as screws and clamp bodies. This international production enables us to react flexibly to market requirements and ensure consistently high quality.
