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.

JST PCB Wire-to-Board & Wire-to-Wire Connector Ranges

Over several years Connect-2 Technology has experienced a steady increase in customer demand for JST PCB crimp assemblies, which allow high reliability connection between PCBs and other equipment components. A large part of the demand has come due to JST’s commitment to their development in technology to keep pace with the ever shrinking nature of electronic circuit and product design.

The computational power of a room full of computer equipment from just a few decades ago, can now be stored in a briefcase. Just about any electronic product from common household items to medical instruments are now smaller, smarter and more efficient due to the relentless drive to downsize circuitry and increase functionality. JST’s connector ranges and the techniques developed to make them, have kept pace with and in some instances helped to enable these dramatic improvements.

Connect-2 Technology currently holds crimp applicator tooling for a number of JST’s crimp PCB and Wire-to-Wire connector ranges, which are summarised below. In addition if you have a JST requirement which is outside our current stock range then please contact us. Tooling and terminal/housing stock are normally quick and easy to arrange (subject to minimum reel sizes) and tooling costs are extremely reasonable (subject to 6 month minimum lease contract).

Prestigious Control Panel Contract

In November 2008 Connect-2 Technology was selected by C-Probe Systems for the manufacture of all control and distribution panels associated with one of their latest projects, a structural corrosion management system for an NCP car park in Leeds.

C-Probe Systems has been a specialist in corrosion management of civil engineering and building structures since 1994. To date the company has completed many prestigious and award winning projects in both North America and the UK, including a system for the Channel Tunnel Approach. C-Probe through its Achilles Suite of systems provides the means to automatically protect and remotely assess the continuous performance of reinforcement steel, transitional steel-frames, historic metal components and pre-stressed or post-tensioned elements.

In partnership with the customer Connect-2 Technology’s technical staff developed the control panel together with the associated wiring within a tight time-frame. Subsequently, the completed control and distribution panels were manufactured and delivered to site on schedule within December 2008.
