State-of-the-art technologies for automotive testing

Targets from the Paris Climate Agreement require the world’s industrialized countries to massively reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Now, most vehicle manufacturers throughout the world have introduced zeroemission electric vehicles, in order to meet various government mandates.

The consequent rapid development of ever more advanced electric vehicles requires increasingly sophisticated testing procedures.

Modern vehicles have a multitude of sensors and electronic systems that interact with each other and require precise tuning. In order to meet the challenges, the use of state-of-the-art simulation and test systems in the automotive testing sector requires vibration and shock resistance in addition to high contact reliability.

From compact circular connectors to flexible modular connectors and mass interconnect solutions, the ODU product portfolio offers every connector variant required for this rigorous application - see brochure

Also, if preferred, customers can receive the complete system solution from a single source with a dedicated point-of-contact project manager.

ODU can provide answers to all your technical concerns, such as:

• Which connectors provide absolutely reliable results for end-of-line testing?

• Are there customizable interfaces for hardwarein-the-loop simulations?

• Can high voltage and current be transmitted with uncompromising user safety?

• What should be considered for in-vehicle test equipment?

Latest - ODU has published a new downloadable white paper entitled ‘Contact Technologies for EV Charging Applications’.

Simplicity itself: Temperature and humidity logging with T&D’s new log-EZ TR32B

The newly designed log-EZ TR32B is the simplest and easy-to-use wireless data logger for temperature and humidity monitoring. This small, affordable handy device with built-in sensor is suitable for home and office use in any everyday environment.

Redesigned with Bluetooth communication functionality, the new model is compatible with smart devices and cloud computing, making it even easier to manage temperature and humidity.

After inserting a single AA alkaline battery, the new log-EZ TR32B is ready to start measuring and recording temperature and humidity without any further setup requirements.

Device configuration, data collection and graph viewing can be done via “T&D Thermo” - a free and easy mobile application available for both iOS and Android.

The data retrieved by the mobile device can be uploaded to the free, cloudbased "T&D WebStorage Service" which is accessible at any time and from anywhere.
