- RoHS compliant with Exemption 6c
Application Success
Intercompact connector series consolidates the strong partnership with Grafikontrol
Grafikontrol recently turned to Smiths Interconnect for an interconnect solution; this was for a new register control system for automatic graphic control in machines for commercial and newspaper printing. In response, the new Intercompact connector Series was the natural proposal to the above demands as these new connectors had just been optimized and qualified by Smiths Interconnect for the new generation of Electronic Control Units.
