EDITOR’S CHOICE New power connector range allows rail manufacturers to design their own interconnect solution Smiths Interconnect, a leading provider of technically differentiated electronic components, subsystems, microwave and radio frequency products, announced the release of the next generation of its modular Transformer Connector Range – Heavy Power Series, for on-board power applications within the rail market. The Transformer Heavy Power Series employs a specialist do-it-yourself system based on the building block principle that allows manufacturers in the Railway industry to design their own interconnect solution by procuring the connector’s elementary piece parts.
