With the knowledge and experience of more than a half century designing and manufacturing world leading applicators and tooling, TE is taking terminal crimping to a new level. Using the time-proven HDM and HDI applicator platforms as a base and the innovation and improvements from the System III Applicator, TE has created the new Ocean Applicator series.

The lead and harness industry is more price and quality competitive than ever before. Crimping standards continue to be raised to higher levels of quality and repeatability and more is expected from application tooling. The Ocean Applicator series was designed specifically to exceed the requirements of today and meet the demands of tomorrow. By consolidating our applicator offering to this new applicator, TE can provide design consistency and tooling standardization. One of the major benefits is flexibility via a choice of feeding options: New and improved mechanical and pneumatic feeds combined with the innovative

Focus is on investigating a wireless charging station for electric vehicles

Active research support
The goal of the joint research project with the FREEDM Systems Center is to develop solutions for the wireless charging of electric cars. Different scenarios are being studied, including the stationary charging of electric vehicles as well as in-motion transfer. The project team, which consists of scientists and industry representatives, identifies the various interfaces required for implementation and the components which need to be developed for this purpose. In this regard, TE personnel accompany and advise the research students, giving them the benefit of their experiences in the automotive industry. "The regular exchange between TE and the young scientists ensures that highly innovative ideas are translated into practical solutions," says Roger Thrush, Director of Engineering for Global Automotive at TE and one of the projects mentors. "The close interaction with the students in the research project is a major asset to both sides. Not only can TE provide experience from decades of practice; in return, the company receives much important input. All our employees will benefit from this transfer of knowledge. Therefore, two of our interns are also involved in the research project. With this investment, we can give them know-how that, in this form, is unique and very valuable for their career."
