Customized connectors
Smart, powerful, safe and quick solutions for connections
Sophisticated unique solutions
Individuality guaranteed
Today’s high technical requirements call for special and individually optimised connectors.
Smaller, lighter, more functions and faster data transmission – these are the objectives to enable new technologies at our customer applications. ALACsystems faces such requirements and is particularly specialised in:
- New development of customised connectors
- Board-2-board connectors
- Wire-2-board connectors
- I/O connectors (USB, HDMI, DC, SATA, …)
- Modification, functional extension and improvement of standard connectors, e.g miniaturisation
- Combination of multiple technologies and functions in one connector with simultaneous compliance of the standard requirements, e.g. integrated LED technology
- Development of shielded connectors to meet automotive standards
