TE CONNECTIVITY / HEAT PUMP INNOVATIONS: SUSTAINABLE COMPONENTS FOR ENHANCED PERFORMANCE 5
Reducing connector temperatures during operation minimizes wasted energy and enhances appliance efficiency, especially for
compressors. Our sustainable cluster block achieves this through innovative design features, including an additional contact beam
that optimizes energy transmission and reduces temperature rise. The cluster block also incorporates a lead-in alignment feature for
safer and more productive assembly processes. Crafted from renewable, plant-based material, it meets rigorous International
Electrical Code (IEC) standards, with 50% castor bean oil composition, making it halogen-free and significantly reducing its
environmental impact. This material reduces the cluster block's carbon footprint by over 45% throughout its life cycle, while
eliminating potential health hazards associated with traditional materials.
At TE Connectivity, we prioritize miniaturization in our
product designs to reduce material content and offer
lighter-weight solutions. Our compact 2.0mm Signal
GRACE INERTIA connectors are a testament to this
commitment, featuring innovative designs that enhance
manufacturing efficiency by preventing assembly errors
and supporting automated production processes. With
surface mount technology (SMT) headers providing a
lower mating height than conventional through-hole
headers, these connectors are both reliable and robust,
making them useful for even the harshest and smallest
applications in the home appliances industry.
