Built with high-grade thermoplastics and heat-resistant alloys, ESCON connectors maintain structural integrity and electrical performance across a wide temperature range. Physical-contact connectors, sometimes referred to as butt-coupled connectors, have a polished end-face surface with a slight outward (convex) curvature. When inserted into the receptacle, the fibers are precisely aligned and touch each other, thereby allowing maximum light transfer and minimum. The Enterprise System Connection Architecture, ESCON, was developed by IBM as a channel connection architecture with the intent of improving connectivity by incorporating fibre optics into a network. The connector system is a Retractable Shroud Duplex (RSD) and can be supplied as terminated. This week's Product Roundup highlights high-temperature connector products rated for maximum operating temperatures of +125°C or higher and well suited for use in industrial, automotive, and transportation applications, as well as military, aerospace, and medical applications. Built for applications with higher temperatures such as hypersonic weapon systems, small module nuclear reactors, space launch. This is not limited to connectors, but in addition to high heat resistance, the definition of height is rather ambiguous for products with "high" such as high-speed transmission and high current.
