Connections are the lifeblood of our economy. Advances in wireless data transmission create ever-greater connectivity. Hybrid and electric vehicles pose new challenges for cables and connectors. STÜKEN ensures good contacts with metallic shielding and components for connectors. Thanks to innovative deep drawing technology, there are almost no limits to the geometry of the components.
Connectors are used everywhere. They transmit power and data as well as optical and acoustic signals, thus connecting devices or components with each other. They are used in automobiles, industry, data technology and telecommunications, and also in household and entertainment appliances. One driver of innovation is high-frequency technology. Thanks to wireless data transmission - keyword 5G - unprecedented connectivity on an extraordinary scale is possible. Technologies such as Industry 4.0, autonomous driving and the Internet of Things would not be possible without connectors. New frequency ranges, maximum signal quality and growing data volumes also mean new challenges for connectors. Cables and connectors react sensitively to electromagnetic radiation, which is why shielding is necessary. Nils Petersohn, Managing Director at STÜKEN explains: "With our years of experience, we offer metallic shielding of the highest precision. We provide our customers with comprehensive advice, from material selection to finishing. Our ultimate goal is for our customers to succeed in their market."
