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
. However, the customer was highly pleased with both the time-scale and the final result which is currently part of the total build for the pre-production prototype.
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.

Connect-2 Technology has been Sira certified, for the manufacture of Luminaires, Lamps, Accessories and Transformers for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in compliance with Directive 94/9/EC, since June 2006.
Explosion protection concepts under which we have been assessed: -
d - Flameproof
e - Increased Safety
m - Encapsulation
D - Dust Ingress Protection
The ATEX Directive
The ATEX Directive, derived from the French “ATmospheres EXplosibles” and formerly known as 94/9/EC, contains the ESR (Essential Safety Requirements) to which electrical equipment and protective systems used within potentially explosive atmospheres must conform.
The new ATEX directive currently in place within the European Union was made mandatory on 1st July 2003. Primarily intended for manufacturers of hazardous area equipment for use in the presence of flammable gases, vapours fumes or dusts, the new directive requires a quality management system to be implemented. Procedures for the design, manufacture and verification of products are to be approved by a notified body (i.e. Sira, Baseefa 2000, CESI, Demko, Kema) and all equipment conforming to the new directive will feature Ex and CE marking.
Expansion of Skills.
Connect-2 Technology gained this certification as part of our obligations under a contract supply agreement with our manufacturing partner. Which, further demonstrates our commitment to develop the skills and abilities of our “special projects division” as well as the company’s enthusiasm for expanding the broad range of solutions we provide our customers.
we also add value where design for manufacture is required.
Many of our customers require considerable numbers of straightforward single lengths of wire processed with a wide variety of end-preparation options, ranging from insulated and un-insulated crimped terminals to precision tin-dipped ends and/or simple strip-length preparation.
An important factor in providing long-term reliable electrical connections is to ensure that all wiring is manufactured to the terminal manufacturers recommended specifications and tolerances. This will include precision cutting and stripping of the wire and crimp termination being made using only the correct tooling and strict conformance with the terminal manufacturers recommended tool settings. It is surprising how many times we still receive customer samples (either manufactured by customers themselves or second parties) with incorrectly applied crimp connections that may look OK visually but would not go anywhere close to the recommended pull-off force.
The quality practices and disciplines within Connect-2 Technology ensure customers always receive product manufactured to comply with specific recommended pull-off forces, ensuring long-term reliable connections.
We utilise a wide range of high-speed wire processing and termination equipment to enable fast and efficient production of medium/large quantities of terminated and/or prepared single wires quickly and accurately. Our tooling bank covers a vast range of both insulated and un-insulated terminals from AMP, Cembre, Elcon, Harting, JST, Molex, Takbro, etc. 
We supply customers across many industry sectors including: - Aerospace and Defence, Communications & Data, Consumer Electronics, Industrial Control, Instrumentation, Power & Energy, Rail and Transportation. Typically, single wire ranges are from 0.03mm2 to 10mm2 (32AWG – 8AWG) for automated processing and up to 120mm2 with hydraulic cutting and termination.
One of the objectives of our recent manufacturing area refurbishment was to increase our flexible workspace areas to accommodate a strong growth in electrical/electronic box and panel building contracts. We are currently producing mechanical box builds for a number of new projects including power control units for diesel generator sets, battery charge point units and wired panel sets for baggage handling systems.
now include everything from a simple wire assembly to a fully built control box incorporating PCB’s, DIN-Rail Assemblies, Components and Wiring.
Due to continued expansion of our UK manufacturing operations it has become necessary to undertake major alterations, including building work, to one of our main production areas. This work will provide us with increased production facilities enabling a further capacity increase to our range of services.
Unfortunately, to accommodate this work we have no option but to close our manufacturing unit for 1 week. In order to minimise any disruption we have arranged for this closure to take place over the week of the Spring Bank Holiday: -
w/c Monday 28th May.
We will reopen the facility on: -
Monday 4th June.
Any orders already received (as of the date of this letter) for despatch during the week of the closure will be despatched on 25th May 2007. Please ensure that orders placed for despatch late May avoid w/c Monday 28th May and if placed prior to 30th April have a due date of 25th May.
We thank all customers for your cooperation in advance and assure you of our best attention at all times.
Increasingly due to legislative and building safety concerns, specifiers are incorporating extended use of LSZH cabling and cable assemblies into not just building plenum spaces but also within many other areas. A degree of confusion exists with regard to the terminology used by various cable manufacturers, however, LSZH & LS0H (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), LSHF (Low Smoke Halogen Free) or sometimes 0HLS (Zero Halogen Low Smoke) all refer to the same standard.
Burning standard PVC cables will emit poisonous gases including hydrogen chloride which if combined with water produces hydrochloric acid, which not only damages humans but also computers, building management systems, access/security systems and control equipment. Burning PVC also produces dense smoke obscuring building exits and chocking occupants.
Over the last few years a greater range of bulk cable types have become available with LSZH sheathed assemblies being possible for most functions within public buildings and areas where people and sensitive electronic equipment are at risk.
Extreme environments require highly specialised cable and connector solutions to provide totally dependable interconnections, ensuring the integrity of power and data transmissions between connected equipment. One such high value connector range is that of USA manufacturer Glenair, with a broad range covering military qualified and multi-purpose industrial connectors.
d gas industry projects incorporating Glenair’s “Geo-Marine®” range. This range has been specifically designed to offer a solution for a variety of oceanographic, geophysical and other extreme applications. Our assemblies have been used in some of the most demanding environments imaginable, working under extreme pressure within oil and gas structural surveying equipment.
