WASHINGTON—The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy is opening Stage 2 of the “Conductivity-Enhanced Materials for Affordable, Breakthrough Leapfrog Electric and Thermal Applications Conductor” Manufacturing Prize. This three-stage competition will award up to $4.5 million to accelerate the development of affordable, manufacturable materials that conduct electricity more efficiently than existing materials.
MJM Industries serves manufacturers worldwide with high-quality wire and cable harnesses, control panels, electromechanical devices and engineering services.
It is a typical day at Fairport Harbor, OH-based MJM Industries Inc., with 40 to 50 assemblers busily making thousands of custom overmolded wire and cable harnesses.
Automation, digitalization and standardization are the key trends affecting the wire harness industry in 2022, according to DiIT GmbH, a division of the Schleuniger Group.
Ethernet cables provide high-speed data transmission for infotainment and driver assistance applications, but they require automated equipment for stripping and crimping.
Electronics in today's vehicles are increasingly complex. With more sensors, controls and interfaces all using higher bandwidth, faster data throughput and more reliable networks are required. The weight of the cables and harnesses in the vehicle is also a concern.
Affirmation is a great thing for the person or organization being affirmed. But, it can be just as beneficial for the affirmer, in the right situation.
WEST LAFAYETTE, IN—Engineers at Purdue University engineers have invented a new charging station cable that can fully recharge some electric vehicles in less than five minutes.
BRONSCHHOFEN, Switzerland—Telsonic AG, a leading supplier of ultrasonic welding equipment for electric vehicle assembly applications, has produced a poster that covers common wire splicing and wire termination welding applications.
Among the factors that limit the growth of electric vehicle (EV) adoption are the relatively long times required to recharge batteries. In most cases, it takes hours to fully recharge an EV, whereas it takes only minutes to refill a gas tank.
