Typical hand-wound coils meet existing performance goals by as much as a 2/3-design and 1/3-art process. Predictability is very difficult because of the human element involved in hand winding. As the frequencies increase, the design aspects become less and less predictable. As a result, the art aspect, the number of iterations performed until matching is achieved, will increase.

February 19, 2013 – In the highly competitive world of train manufacturing, there is increasing demand to replace the relatively large heavy metal connectors inside the cable car with smaller and lighter ones that still meet the strict smoke- and fire-resistant standards mandated by the industry. To meet these requirements, ITT’s Interconnect Solutions team created the VEAM Rectangular Plastic Connector.
