Rail Transportation
TE Connectivity (TE) is providing rail products and solutions that optimize energy, increase passenger comfort and provide network reliability.
TE offers one of the widest breadth of high-performance, reliable products for infrastructure and rolling stock.
Optimizing existing rail systems for increased capacity and improved passenger experiences means modernizing both the infrastructure and rolling stock like never before. TE relies on its unique combination of deep rail industry experience and rigorous testing to answer the challenges of today, and power the innovations of the future. We provide first-class quality products that are easy to install, offer outstanding reliability, and are ruggedized to thrive in harsh environments with no maintenance.

Surface Mount Resistors
A surface mount resistor is a tiny rectangular ceramic body with silver conductive edges on either end. They provide the same functionality as the more traditional axially leaded resistors but has a lower power dissipation capacity and oftentimes a lower stray inductance and capacity.
Catenary Droppers
TE’s SIMEL current carrying catenary dropper provides a mechanical and electrical binding between suspension cable and contact wire. The dropper is used to distribute current and support the catenaries wires on high speed railway network lines.
Through-Hole Resistors
A through-hole resistor is a fixed resistor that has long, pliable leads that can be stuck into a breadboard or hand- or wave-soldered into a printed circuit board. A through-hole resistor is used to reduce the flow of electrical current within a circuit. It’s commonly composed of carbon film, metal film, metal oxide film, thick film, or wirewound.
Screened Separable Connectors (RSTI)
TE's Raychem switchgear connectors answer technical challenges. They are easy to install, compact and can fit almost any type of cable.
Chassis Mount Resistors
A chassis mount resistor is designed to promote heat loss and cooling. This resistor is manufactured using wirewound resistor technology and features a ceramic core that is molded into an extruded aluminum chassis mount housing.
Raychem Plug-In Terminations (RPIT)
Raychem Plug-In Terminations (RPIT) are medium voltage inner cone connectors for substations and cable networks to enable the reliable transfer of power from its source to the end consumer.
Potentiometers
A potentiometer is a manually adjustable variable resistor that allows you to change and regulate the current flowing through a resistor.
Cold Shrink Terminations (CSTOB)
The CSTOB cold shrink terminations are made from a high-performance silicone material, specially-formulated for anti-tracking and split resistance. CSTOB terminations are designed to accommodate the variety of cable and connector types used in today’s railway systems.
Trimmer Resistors
A trimmer resistor is a type of variable resistor or adjustable potentiometer that can adjust, tune, and calibrate circuits. It is meant to never be seen or adjusted by the device’s user.
Cold Shrink Joints (CSJA)
TE’s Raychem innovative, cold shrink “all in one” straight joints (CSJA), are designed to reduce installation time, provide superior connectivity, and resist damage from exposure to the elements.
