High-current connectors used in rail vehicles must withstand demanding operating conditions – from intense vibration and high current loads to changing temperatures, moisture, and contamination. Selecting the right solution depends primarily on the installation location and the specifics of the application. What should be considered when designing the installation? When is it worth using a detachable connection, and which Radiall Van System connector family should you choose? In this article, we provide practical guidance to help you make these decisions.

Does the cheapest solution at the production stage really mean the lowest cost over the entire vehicle lifecycle? In this article, we compare terminal boxes with high-current connectors in railway applications, taking into account servicing, maintenance time, the risk of errors, and total cost of ownership.

How can railway rolling stock operating costs be reduced without compromising reliability? The price of a component is only one part of the equation. The true cost-effectiveness of an investment is also determined by installation, servicing, downtime, and potential repair costs. Find out why high-current connectors can result in a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and how to justify their selection from a business perspective.

In the food industry, even an inconspicuous component such as a cable entry can affect hygiene, ease of cleaning, and the reliability of the entire machine. So how can you design a cable entry that is sealed, resistant to cleaning agents, and convenient to service, without unnecessarily increasing construction costs? We look at the key factors to consider and where the CABseal clean system is the right fit.
