Mouser Electronics released an eBook in collaboration with Phoenix Contact, offering an in-depth look at connector designs and their importance in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). In the book “Trusted Connection, Trusted Design,” experts provide useful guides on PCB design, locking systems, and the latest connecting technologies, with insights on how to leverage connectors for more reliable performance.

Strong connections will take on additional importance to support the intelligence of smart devices, from effective latching mechanisms to active circuit indication and shielding, to facilitate faster data rates. The eBook features multiple detailed guides on specific connectors, as well as their applications in PCBs and industrial design. The book offers instructions on how to choose the best PCB terminal block, in addition to what common mistakes and design flaws to avoid. The eBook also provides a valuable guide on the use of M12 connectors in industrial facilities, as well as SKEDD direct-connection technology.
