Blogging site aims<br />
to connect<br />
Molex has launched an interactive blog<br />
site to provide connector industry news,<br />
trends <strong>and</strong> opinions. Called The<br />
Connector.com, the blog will also carry comments from<br />
Molex experts on issues <strong>and</strong> challenges relevant to design<br />
engineers. There will also be links to social media sites,<br />
newsfeeds <strong>and</strong> videos illustrating interconnect products <strong>and</strong><br />
technologies. Initial articles cover general connector topics as<br />
well as high-power delivery <strong>and</strong> sustainable systems.<br />

Controls comparisons<br />
are simplified<br />
Following a major review of its UK Web<br />
site, Schneider Electric has made a<br />
“significant” investment in new<br />
features, including an intelligent reference database that<br />
makes it easier to compare products from its wide portfolio.<br />
Visitors can compare the features of part numbers within a<br />
range <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong> differences such as colour, voltage<br />
ratings, dimensions <strong>and</strong> settings, making it easier to pinpoint<br />
products that meet their needs. The database is supported by<br />
datasheets which can be downloaded for use in project plans<br />
<strong>and</strong> quotes. The first products covered by the enhanced service<br />
are in the automation <strong>and</strong> control section. Others will be<br />
added progressively.<br />

Twitter stream gives<br />
links to weekly videos<br />
The plastic bearings <strong>and</strong> energy chains<br />
specialist igus is producing weekly videos<br />
highlighting aspects of its products <strong>and</strong><br />
their applications. Recent videos have<br />
covered: a bespoke guide trough<br />
designed to meet the needs of a large<br />
rotating energy chain system; a self-guiding<br />
energy chain system which avoids the need for troughs; <strong>and</strong><br />
the speedigus service for rapid production of customdesigned<br />
parts. Links to the videos are given in igus’s<br />
Twitter stream.<br />
