The evolution in sensor technology
Testing of cars, trucks, utility vehicles and motorcycles requires inertial sensors with high resolution as well as a robust and com- pact design. In addition to the capability of measuring very low frequencies and amplitudes, they must be resistant to vibrations and shocks, while taking up small installation space. Both accele- rometers and gyroscopes, as well as inertial measurement units (IMUs) from ASC perfectly fulfil these demanding requirements.

compliance, and a locking mechanism for added stability. Their “scoop-proof” design ensures secure connections, even in demanding conditions.
KEEPING COOL Air conditioning systems are also vital for passenger and employee comfort. PEI-Genesis’ ITT Cannon CA-B/CB Series Bayonet connectors are well- suited to these applications. These connectors feature a 3-point reverse- bayonet locking system that improves upon MIL-DTL-5015 standards and meets VG95234 approval. They are available with ITT’s RoHS & REACH- compliant ZnNi Blue Generation plating, providing exceptional resistance to salt spray. With enhanced coupling systems for superior shock and vibration resistance, these connectors are available in 12 sizes and 140 confi gurations.
IN THE DRIVING SEAT The driver’s cab, meanwhile, is a critical area where life-or-death decisions are made, often in split seconds. For these high-stakes
applications, the Amphenol PT/451 connector series is an ideal choice. These connectors are resistant to fl uids, vibration, shock and extreme temperatures. They feature a quick- disconnect bayonet coupling for rapid mating and unmating, with watertight (IP66/67) and hermetically sealed options available. Shielded versions off er added protection against electromagnetic interference. Another suitable option for driver
cab systems is the D-Sub connectors from leading manufacturers such as Positronic, ITT Cannon and Cinch Connectivity Solutions. These connectors can be customised with various styles and contact layouts to meet specifi c application needs.
HIT THE BRAKES Braking systems are among the most critical components of rail systems. A failure could lead to catastrophic consequences, making the use of highly robust connectors non- negotiable. PEI-Genesis’ Amphenol HeavyMate connector series is an ideal solution, off ering a rugged design that
is vibration-proof, corrosion-resistant, and capable of handling up to 1000V. These connectors are designed for both power and signal transmission in harsh environments and can be utilised in railway signalling, HVAC, and power systems, including 400V jumper cables.
ROBUST SOLUTIONS Modern rail systems demand electrical connectors that can endure harsh conditions, support easy maintenance, and withstand prolonged use. Solutions such as the Amphenol Luminus and PT/451 series, the ITT Cannon CA-B/ CB series, and customised D-Sub connectors have proven indispensable in addressing these challenges. These connectors enhance the reliability and eff iciency of applications ranging from passenger comfort systems to critical braking and control systems.
