ULDelivering the right connector solution for products and systems can mean success for you and your customers by expanding the available connector options through certification. The options provide additional end product value by streamlining the certification process, providing cost effective solutions and reducing time to market. There are now connector certification solutions for both the U.S. market as well as global options that can be your roadmap to open up new opportunities and markets.

This educational webinar will provide insight into the connector certification levels available for the U.S. market. We will review why the certifications allowed by UL 1977, UL Subject 2237 and UL 2238 provide an increase in available connector options and a reduction in product testing and costs. The webinar will include a comparison of the standards and how the certifications achieved from each standard can provide additional product selections and increase end product applications for connector manufacturers.

It’s also important that end product manufacturers and system integrators understand the varying certification levels and how this can benefit end product certification. These may include streamlined certification, cost effective solutions and shorter time to market. The webinar will review the impact of selecting the connector components based on certification of the products, with a goal of meeting the demanding cost and performance needs of the end application.

The webinar will wrap up with a discussion on global certification options for connectors, including Canada and international considerations. We will cover CSA C22.2 No. 182.3-16 and IEC 61984:2008 and how certification to these standards can allow access to global markets.
