Over the last decade, new technological advancements have been leading the commercial transportation industry to innovative product development, driving society into the future. Two dominant means of transportation, rail and commercial vehicles, transport goods, people, and services from point A to point B safely and efficiently. As these technologies evolve, we enter a new era of electrified interconnectivity. E-mobility and the use of electrified drivetrain technologies replace damaging petroleum fuels with advanced technologies that reduce carbon emissions and slow the climate impacts of human activities. At the
same time, new technologies improve the safety, communications, and comforts of transportation.
The demand for connectors that can handle higher voltage and current, transmit data faster and more reliably, and support miniaturization and sustainability efforts is increasing to support an electrified future. Engineers must also consider durable interconnects that can endure harsh environmental conditions as they adapt to these advancements. Newer products mainly focus on transmitting data faster, while legacy items are designed for digital and analog signals and power distribution.
