Connectors are indispensable components in the electronics industry. If they don’t function flawlessly both mechanically and electrically, they’re a potential source of faults. Despite international efforts toward standards, like those with the USB connector, there are still many different variants and norms, complicating the choice of the right product.

The selection and dimensioning process becomes far easier with the standard reference work Trilogy of Connectors, now published in its 4th edition. The application handbook covers all the latest developments and trends. It also provides a wealth of practical information on various connector types, such as USB Type-C or USB Power Delivery. A newly added section addresses connectors for shielded cables and their EMC-compliant design.

The clear structure in three chapters remains:
-Chapter 1 covers the basic principles of connectors: function, base materials, and contact design. Developers can also find out here about the various assembly options with PCBs or cables.

-Chapter 2 deals with the technical parameters of connectors and their characterization.

-Chapter 3 contains practical application examples and provides a wealth of ideas for various applications.
