Industrial

We design durable and robust platform products and customized solutions combining rugged backshells
with high reliability contact technologies and easy assembly procedures.  Our Industrial connectivity solutions feature:

Stability

Increasingly automated production environments require stable connectivity, as network failures can result in
expensive line stops. Our interconnect solutions embed leading contact technologies that offer high reliability and the optimum balance between performance and cost, making them the ideal choice for demanding environment where the cost of failure is high.
 

Wide Product Offering

Our diverse product offering, from off-the-shelf products to customised solutions, provides unrivalled performance under the most stringent industry conditions.
 

Integrity

Test equipment applications rely on the integrity of the components used within them. Our connectors ensure superior longevity with exceptionally low mating forces even when using high pin counts as requested in test applications, including microchips, wafer, burn-in, Hardware-In-Loop and automotive testing.
 

Reliable Test Solutions

Test instrumentation devices are connected and disconnected many times, thus requesting the high mating cycles and low insertion/extraction forces of the Hypertac contact system. Our hyperboloid and pin loop and spring contact technologies are also suitable for Burn-In-Test equipment.

Case Study

Smiths Interconnect helps protect crops by charging agricultural droness

The challenge for an Indian manufacturer of commercial robotic drones & drone-based solutions was to find a qualified high-power connector for the power supply module of a new UAV to be used for precision spraying of pesticides for agriculture and livestock. The Customer normally produces drones for crop protection, crop health, precision farming & yield monitoring using Artificial Intelligence.

Case Study

Smiths Interconnect connectors drive revolution in automotive testing

Modern drivers expect their cars to provide an even smoother, quieter, and easier experience – whilst also being safer, tougher, and less environmentally impactful. It’s a tall order. To achieve both the necessary certifications and customer confidence for sales success, new models must endure an even more stressful, rigorous, and aggressive testing and validation regime. Automotive testing today subjects whole vehicles, components, and systems to an intensive series of laboratory, virtual and real-world assessments – from emissions analysis, crash simulations and extensive electronics testing, to a wide range of ‘buzz, squeak and rattle’ investigations.
