Molex has recently introduced a range of Glow-Wire compliant connectors that delivers a higher power efficiency compared to its competing products in the market.Molex has been in the connectors manufacturing industry for 15 years and supplies a couple of the largest home appliances original equipment manufacturers in the world.

On February 8 2017, Mick Elliott wrote an article for Electronic specifier talking about how there is a new MUSBR series USB-C connector from Amphenol. This new USB-C connector works across many different platforms such at smartphones, laptops, PCs, and tablets. Not only has this but the USB-C connector also worked with things such as power packs and chargers as all as industrial machinery.

Gap and Overlap Type Wave Springs are used for a large range of applications. They are used for their reliability and preciseness.Smalley has released two sets of Wave Springs that when used together create growth within a cavity. Unlike the die stamped wave washers that usually cause binding or hang-up, these two wave springs are engineered to be more efficient.

When it comes to the aerospace industry, money plays a huge factor since most parts and components are expensive and must be certified. So many companies deal with not being able to move forward with projects because the lack of money they are available to. Recently, the government of Canada gave a 283-million-dollar loan to Bombardier, which they will use for the 7000-business jet and C series aircraft programs. This money will be used for research and development for the new Bombardier Global 7000 business jet that is scheduled to release within four years. It is also going to be used for new activities to market their aircraft program.  Lastly, it is going to fund several middle-class jobs and the beginning of a new generation of aircraft.

On January 12 2017, there was an article by Senior Editor Jim Lorincz who wrote for Fastener News talking about how there will be flawless engine fasteners by 3D laser gaging from the company, Brugola OEB Industriale S.p.A. This Italian fastener company is uses high performance and dynamic bolts that are used in engine assembly. The company has been working on engine fasteners for than three generations.

On November 22^nd 2016, there was an article posted on Fastener World that was talking about how Nord-Lock has a new combi bolt that can improve the safety, efficiency and accurate assembly while keep inventory at a minimum. These combi bolts washers are available in different sizes such as the NL5, NL6, NL8, NL10, NL10sp, and NL12. These combi bolt wasters use a wedge locking technology that allows for more safety. These are also designed so that the bolt has a permanently attached washer.

These new series of connectors have been built with a smaller more compact structure considered to be a low profile BM29. This BM29 was built to have an enhanced powered connectivity while being able to save space for micro applications. Per the manufacture, Hirose Electric Group the BM29 comes to be one of world’s smallest hybrid FPC-to-board connectors. Designed with a uniquely small structure with “the height 0.6mm, depth of 1.5mm and a width of 3.16mm.”  These series of connectors are equipped with receptacles and plugs that are compatible with Flat Printed Circuit to hook with a board connection. Noted to be a hybrid connector that is imposed with ratings on the power contacts at a 3A and its signal contacts at a 0.3A.

Hirose is one of the best companies out there. They have been established since 1937. Ever since they have developed and introduced thousands of connectors that are beneficial for so many people they are well known in their industry. They manufacture connectors and have been the cause of the fast development in the field. Their goal is to always broaden the scope of their business activities they manage to do that by keeping pace with market advances and trying to satisfy the changing connector needs of companies in Europe, Asia and in North America.

JCS Hi-Torque has been around since 1768. This company was based in London, until 1970s where Trevor Mockridge and his two sons Anthony and Francis moved it tii Suffolk. They towed all their machines and workforce. All their products are produced in Suffolk especially including their Hi-Torque hose clamps. These new hose clamps are one of the best that have been done. Their qualifications is that they are very tough, they require higher sealing pressures so wire can be reinforced. They are mainly used when an extra margin of safety and reliability is required (and let’s be honest that is most of the time) people strive for what is safe and reliable and considered these 2 tactics when considering to buy anything.

Magnesium is very well known. It is a very strong and lightweight. Many use it for productions. It is a more affordable option. But what many do not know is that it poses a problem, for fastening and joining. Many people are not aware of that. Therefore, many are starting to use aluminum, plastics, and composites. Aluminum is the ninth most abundant element in the universe. Although magnesium is as strong as steel, It is 33% lighter than aluminum. 60% lighter than titanium, and 75% lighter than steel.
