Mouser explores the challenges of harsh environments

Electronics and automation distributor Mouser Electronics is equipping engineers with resources in its harsh-environments content hub. Mouser’s technical resources are designed to aid engineers in recognizing potential hazards and ensure safety in challenging conditions. The resource center offers products to mitigate the risks associated with harsh environments, providing professionals with tools designed to protect lives and minimize environmental impacts.

Advanced sensors, ruggedized components and specialized materials enable many applications to withstand extreme temperatures, vibration and other environmental factors that would otherwise affect productivity and worker safety. For professionals in roles such as industrial energy management, these technologies can improve operations by enabling precise data collection and analysis, leading to better decision-making and ultimately enhancing safety conditions and success rates.

Mouser partners with manufacturers to curate ebooks, articles and blogs to combat the unpredictability of harsh environments by exploring industry trends such as automation, complex sensing and control systems, and fail-safe designs. In a recent ebook with TE Connectivity, Mouser’s technical team examines the vulnerability of electrical systems and circuits and provides tailored products.

Mouser stocks a selection of semiconductors and electronic components, including the following for harsh-environment applications:

  • Molex EXTreme Guardian plug-side cable assemblies with polarized mating geometry and locking tang-on terminals
  • Advantech FPM-200 industrial monitors for intuitive operation in smart factories and machine automation display applications
  • Amphenol Socapex USB3AP composite USB 3.2 access points with self-closing cap protecting the USB-A receptacle from splashes and dust when the plug or the USB memory key is unmated

TE Connectivity heavy-duty sealed connectors with Matenet inserts to enable Ethernet connectivity of up to 1 Gbps in chassis applications in heavy-duty commercial vehicles.
