Existing range of compact and high current density connectors are complemented by innovative solutions such as detailed technical information, 3D product images and training modules
element14 (formerly Farnell), the industry’s first fusion of commerce and community supporting design engineers and electronic component purchasing professionals worldwide today announced the introduction of new connectivity solutions from leading connector manufacturers to its 130,000-parts strong inventory.
Connectivity solutions covering an extensive range of connectors applicable to sectors such as consumer electronics, communication, medical, industrial, transportation and networking are showcased on element14’s Features. Customers are able to enjoy unrivalled ease-of-purchase with no minimum order quantity or value and next day delivery in most cities in Asia Pacific with comprehensive product solutions and promotional discounts of up to 40% for selected connectors.
element14 currently has over 14,000 3D connector images in PDF format available for engineers to view the 3D images of these components and be able to rotate them 360 degrees. This unique function will enable engineers to better visualise how these connectors can fit in their overall design and address their challenges innovatively.
“At element14, we understand there is a growing requirement for flexible, high current connection solutions, and we are excited to be collaborating closely with the major global leaders in interconnect to provide the region with the most advanced and reliable connectors,” said Marc Grange, Head of Product Management, element14, Asia Pacific. “These new products possess innovative features in terms of versatility and high current density to meet the rigorous requirements of design engineers in the region. On top of that, our new 3D imaging tools for the connectors will provide optimal support in helping engineers select the most appropriate connectors for different applications.”
“At Molex, we firmly believe that product innovations need to address the prevalent challenges faced by engineers in order to stay relevant in the market,” said Loh Keng Wai Henry, Distribution Corporate Account Manager, Molex, “element14’s interactive online community has not only provided customers with an excellent channel for feedback, but it also helps us to have a greater understanding of the challenges that our customers are faced with today.”
