Growing the Future of Farming Equipment with TE Connectivity
Your vision + Our engineering = solutions tailored to your connectivity challenges in your agricultural vehicle designs
Farm machinery is entering a new era. The global electric tractor market is forecast to reach $3.4 billion by 2030*, while the smart agriculture market is expected to climb to $23.4 billion by 2029*. This rapid growth is fueled by rising adoption of automation, precision farming, and data-driven technologies that are reshaping how equipment is designed and operated.
Connectivity is Key!
When your combine harvesters and sprayers fail in peak season, farmers lose millions in crop yields. Your designs need connectors that survive 20,000+ hours of dust, chemicals, and vibration while enabling precision farming and high-speed data transmission on the vehicle farmers now consider essential for competitive farming.
That’s Where TE Comes In
Our portfolio delivers field-proven performance that enhances productivity and sustainability on your different applications from tractors to harvesters, including planting, tillage or spraying equipment and much more.
Battery & Charging Systems
As farm machinery electrifies, reliable connectivity is critical. Battery packs and charging inlets require sealed, touch-proof connectors designed to handle up to 480V AC or 700V DC. These rugged interfaces provide safe fast charging and dependable performance in harsh field conditions, helping to speed the transition to sustainable, electric-powered equipment.

Chassis & Cabin Integration
Modern tractors and harvesters depend on sealed cabin systems and rugged chassis harnesses to enable GPS, ISOBUS, and automation features. These machines operate in dust, mud, and chemical-heavy environments, putting stress on connectors and wiring. At the same time, the surge in electronic content from sensors to displays increases wiring density and complexity, making smart routing and easy serviceability essential for both manufacturers and end users.

Power Distribution & Energy Management
As electrification grows, Power Distribution Units (PDUs), converters, and inverters become the nervous system of your farm equipment. You need connectors that withstand high currents, heat, and field vibration while enabling predictive maintenance, reducing downtime, and supporting precision farming growth.
Smart & Connected Farm Machinery
Digital farming is advancing rapidly, with ADAS, telematics, and precision sensors driving autonomous functions. You now require connectors that support CAN, Ethernet, and high-speed video while resisting EMI, allowing reliable data transfer across your connected farm equipment.

Transmission & Powertrain Connections
Modern farm machinery integrates diesel, hybrid, and electric drivetrains. You depend on connectors that withstand oil, vibration, and temperatures up to 150 °C while safely transferring up to 700V DC to e-motors and implements. High-voltage reliability is essential for advancing electric tractors.

Accessories & Auxiliary Systems
Implements like pumps, compressors, and ePTO systems demand rugged, modular connectors that deliver high power under tough conditions. You must design for serviceability and future-ready electrification, providing reliability across diverse attachments and farm accessories.
Tooling
Our application tooling solutions support every stage of agricultural wire harness assembly. With hand crimping tools for fieldwork repairs, benchtop terminators for mid-volume output, and high-precision applicators for automated lines, we provide reliable crimp connections built to endure dust, moisture, and the relentless demands of modern farming.
