改進電器連接器設計

　　TE Connectivity的新動力三鎖（PTL）連接器解決家電行業的增加的可靠性和功能性欲望的直接反應，安全性和易用性。

　　對主要家電產品的世界需求，或白色家電，預計每年上升3.6%至2015，超過4億臺，據弗里多尼亞集團。隨著消費者越來越喜歡“綠色”家電與高功能，家電制造商必須提供新的業務功能和節能技術，以維持市場份額，在這個競爭激烈的市場。這將面臨設計工程師面臨復雜的電子控制電路，可以增加互連的電氣和機械元件的復雜性，在許多電器的挑戰。

　　一個經常被忽略的一個方面是它的連接器裝置。在某些情況下，基本的連接器設計沒有改變，在25年或更長時間-盡管制造商開發互聯網連接和自動控制設備的設備本身。因此，隨著家電制造商努力提供更高效，更容易控制的機器，需要提高可靠性，特別是在電器連接的設備，已成為一個高優先級的設計師。

　　Power is another primary design concern in appliances. The same connector in the appliance is frequently used for power and signal lines， which means that consolidating the power and signal connection is needed to simplify connectivity and machine assembly. While dealing with the signal aspects are rather straightforward， the bigger challenge is power delivery， since power for pumps and motors requires carrying higher amperage than other system components.

　　With its existing breadth of appliance product offerings and a long history of supplying the appliance industry， TE Connectivity has demonstrated that it understands — and meets — the needs of the appliance market. Today， the company offers a new generation of connectors specifically designed to address requirements for reliability and functionality.
