Internal Wiring Systems for "ProPod" Automated Parts Control System.

Connect-2 Technology was asked to provide technical and sample-build support for a proof of concept project to assist one of our existing customers in the development of the internal wiring system racks, inter-connection accessories and associated internal wiring harnesses for the revolutionary “Pro-pod” parts vending system.  

Our customer Tharsus Group had been awarded the contract for refining an existing design, building prototypes and achieving CE approval as well as the subsequent full manufacture.  The units have a ‘multi-drawer’ system for controlling parts issue, which subjects the individual drawers electrical & data inter-connections to a high rate of disconnection/re-connection over the life of the system.  Connect-2 Technology’s technicians recommended using the Tyco Electronics AMP Metrimate drawer connectors, which provide high durability and meet the required levels of electrical performance and reliability demanded over the lifetime of the unit.

The customer was highly pleased with our time-scales, levels of technical expertise and the final result.  We can demonstrate a long established record in converting both existing 'in-house' as well as 'start-up' projects with a number of highly successful clients. So if you feel our services are relevant to your needs please contact us via the details here or Telephone 01642 492220.

3M Kiosk SelfCheck Power Unit Design & Build

3M Kiosk / Tharsus / Connect-2 Technology Power Distribution

Connect-2 Technology was recently involved in the re-design and build of the power supply unit required for the latest generation of 3M Kiosk SelfCheck TM System.  Having worked with Tharsus Group previously on a number of successful projects, we were invited to work with them in the design of a new power distribution system for the latest generation of 3M Kiosks for which Tharsus had been awarded the product design and manufacturing contracts. 

Previous kiosk units had their power supplied to the various internal components from individual DC Power Supplies (wall warts) which resulted in excessive heat, clutter and inefficient use of power.
Working from initial customer specifications and concepts, the Connect-2 Technical Department designed a bespoke rack-mount power system module to provide a range of 5V, 12V & 24V outputs within a neat and self-contained unit that replaced the existing 8 separate power supply units.


The customer was highly pleased with our time-scales, levels of technical expertise and the final result.  We can demonstrate a long established record in converting both existing 'in-house' as well as 'start-up' projects with a number of highly successful clients. So if you feel our services are relevant to your needs please contact us via the details here or Telephone 01642 492220.

Molex® Wire-to-Board & Wire-to-Wire Connector Ranges

Since the company's formation in 1995 Connect-2 Technology has produced hundreds of thousands of wiring assemblies utilising a broad-range of Molex® wire-to-board and wire-to-wire connectors. The Molex crimp terminal ranges we support in the wire-to-board and wire-to-wire ranges have gradually increased, so that we now have auto and semi-automatic tooling to cover a large number of product families as follows: -
Molex PicoBlade (Pitch: 1.25mm [0.049"])
  • Circuits: 2 to 15
  • Current: 1A (26, 28, 30AWG)
  • Mated Height: 3.40mm [0.138")
Designed for high-density harness applications, PicoBlade provides the same 1.0 amperes of current as similar 2.00mm (.079") pitch systems, but in a more compact space-saving design. The PicoBlade range is offered in wire-to-board and wire-to-wire options. The system saves about 45% of PCB space compared to typical 2.00mm wire-to-board systems. It is a single row system, available in 2 to 15 circuits, with both surface mount and through-hole headers.

DIN Relay Assembly

We have recently completed a project to develop a combined DIN rail and wiring harness assembly for a large scale commercial vending system.
This was completed by one of our senior technicians, from the basic schematic information to final master sample, within two weeks. Involving the control of 30 electric motors and 32 solenoids through a total of 72 relays together with 30 drawer connectors, 30 LED push-button switches and a number of microswitches was a relatively complex assignment.
