Today's military servicemembers depend on wearable technology to accomplish their missions. From GPS-enabled radios, to night-vision systems, to sound-suppression systems and more, these technologies require high performance, reliability and usability. These requirements present a host of new design challenges.
The connector industry has responded to these challenges and needs with a new generation of lightweight, low-profile connectors. Many of these components are blind-mateable, self-aligning, capable of quick disconnect and made to meet the needs of today's highly-mobile systems. Read on for a discussion of these new connector technologies and how they’re creating new opportunities for system integrators.
