An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Bonding systems allow clamped earth connections from Termate, which we summarised at the time by saying "The latest Tebar earth bonding systems from Termate combine fast, straightforward installation and ease of modification with provision for safe and certain disconnection of the earth conductor. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Conductive compounds reduce static noise from RTP Company: "Connectors Unlimited has worked with RTP Company to formulate and supply plastic materials for a shielding solution for analogue cable and circuit connectors. ".
 
In October 2009, we covered the news from ITT Interconnect Solutions - take a look at Metr1x connectors withstand harsh conditions which says: "ITT Interconnect Solutions has introduced a connector series designed for sensor applications in harsh environments, such as engine compartments of heavy diesel units.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from RTP Company, RTP unveils nylon and polyester compounds, as well as Mac3 uses RTP fire-proof materials in float switch from RTP Company, and Terminal block range has advanced marking system from ABB Automation Tech (LV Products).
