COMPETITION: WIN £60 WORTH OF MOLEX PRODUCTS


A robust and reliable project requires high quality connections between its parts. Ensuring the power and signal paths work properly not only makes the unit stand up to sustained use but also gives you the confidence to check for problems in the programming or hardware without having to verify plugs, wires and sockets. Molex has connection systems to fulfill such reliable connection functions. A typical project might include headers from single board computers


such as the Raspberry PI, interface boards from Arduino, relays with high power terminals for output commands, signal lines that are sensitive to interference and devices with standard connectors or plugs. Distributors such as Newark carry a wide assortment of Molex termination components that address these connection needs. A key factor in choosing Molex over soldering or other termination

MURRELEKTRONIK AND WIGAN UTC ANNOUNCE SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME


Murrelektronik has announced a scholarship programme which will enable two students from Wigan UTC Academy to gain valuable hands on experience at the company’s headquarters in Oppenweiler, Germany. The scholarship includes transport, accommodation and living expenses for a maximum of six weeks over the summer holidays. It is hoped that the pilot programme will see the two winning students making huge leaps into the world of engineering and manufacturing and demonstrate to its German colleagues that there is some genuine talent and enthusiasm for engineering growing in the UK. The students will have a full


schedule of activity and spend time in all Murrelektronik departments: production plant, logistics and marketing, and participate in projects with other German trainees/students. Korina Parker from Murrelektronik


explained that the company is proud to offer this opportunity to Wigan UTC Academy students and that it will give them a further insight into the world of work and Murrelektronik, which may lead them to apprenticeships as electronic engineers. Parker added: “Wigan UTC


/ DESIGNSOLUTIONS


Academy is a great educational establishment focussing on Engineering Skills. The practical approach prepares students for further education at University or to take a higher apprenticeship maybe with companies like Murrelektronik.” Wigan UTC academy director of


commercial development, Bernard Edmunds, said: “Wigan UTC Academy is extremely grateful to Murrelektronik for offering this opportunity to our year 12 students.” Edmunds added: “The job market


is challenging now and will be going forward. Wigan UTC Academy is about a great educational journey which covers GCSE and A levels, but also can add value by teaching processes in electronics and engineering, together with food chain processing.” www.murrelektronik.co.uk
