Würth Elektronik reference book on connectors, 4th edition
Würth Elektronik’s popular reference book Trilogy of Connectors has been published in its 4th edition. The well-known manufacturer of electronic and electromechanical components for the electronics industry has updated and completely revised its standard reference work. The application manual takes an in-depth look at the basics and latest trends in connectors.
Connectors are indispensable components in the electronics industry. If they don’t function flawlessly both mechanically and electrically, they’re a potential source of faults. Despite international efforts toward standards, like those with the USB connector, there are still many different variants and norms, complicating the choice of the right product.
The selection and dimensioning process becomes far easier with the standard reference work Trilogy of Connectors, now published in its 4th edition. The application handbook covers all the latest developments and trends. It also provides a wealth of practical information on various connector types, such as USB Type-C or USB Power Delivery. A newly added section addresses connectors for shielded cables and their EMC-compliant design.
The clear structure in three chapters remains:
- Chapter 1 covers the basic principles of connectors: function, base materials, and contact design. Developers can also find out here about the various assembly options with PCBs or cables.
- Chapter 2 deals with the technical parameters of connectors and their characterization.
- Chapter 3 contains practical application examples and provides a wealth of ideas for various applications.
Trilogy of Connectors is written in English and will also be available as an e-book in early 2025. The book can now be ordered directly from Würth Elektronik: www.we-online.com.
