L ike humans, electronics systems and circuits are constantly under stress. Electronics are susceptible to being compromised or destroyed when introduced to harsh environmental conditions. Harsh environmental conditions can include exposure to extreme temperatures, temperature cycling, ingress of liquids or particulates, electrostatic discharge (ESD), electromagnetic interference (EMI), vibrations, and physical impact (shock). TE Connectivity delivers reliable connectivity products designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions for on- and off-highway vehicles and recreational transportation, including heavy trucks, construction, agriculture, buses, and other vehicles. Likewise, TE Connectivity products and systems are designed and manufactured to operate effectively in harsh conditions ranging from the ocean's depths to the far reaches of space. The extreme operating conditions found within the commercial aerospace, defense, and marine industries are solved by employing our solutions. TE Connectivity serves customers in over 140 countries worldwide, with its greater-than-15,000 patents providing the innovative technology needed to fend off and secure connections against external threats.
