Case Studies: Electrical Applications

	Semi Truck Wiring Harness Semi-trailer trucks are subject to a "chemical cocktail" of ongoing abuse. Grimy exhaust and road particulate combined with spraying water, caustic de-icing solutions, and other chemical agents wreak havoc on whatever they contact.
	Cable and Circuit Connectors The fundamental reason for using RTP Company's conductive plastics in our analog connectors is to minimize noise interference in the electronic signal, which is primarily caused by static charge.
	AV Wall Outlets Entratech Systems has been a long time manufacturer of diesel engine sensors. Recently, when Entratech's Mike Richardson was building a new house, he thought he'd get some separation between his home and work lives.
	Platable Circuits Technological advance is gained only by overcoming a technological challenge. In the electronics industry, these challenges often involve the issues of electromagnetic compatibility, reliable electrical conductivity, and static dissipation.
	Wiring Harness To direct and protect cables, Marconi manufactures a megaphone-shaped communications cone. Mounted in outdoor cabinets, the cone functions much like a traditional wiring harness, funneling cables and protecting them through climate changes as varied as the Earth's terrain.
	Coil Bobbin RTP Company, in conjunction with Epcos AG, a German manufacturer of electronic components, has developed a commercial line of glass reinforced, non-halogenated flame retardant polyester compounds.
	Electrical Terminal Block Stanwick Electrical Products and molder Pre Plastics turned to RTP Company for an RTP 200 Series nylon compound that meets the extreme demands of electrical terminal block carriers used in the utility/power generation industry.
	Electrical Connectors Electrical connectors in stage and studio lighting systems take a beating every time they are on the job. Handling currents ranging from 20 to 400 amps, they must be exceptionally resistant to heat.
	Appliance Connectors Not long ago, field failure fires — caused by improper crimping — prompted the appliance industry to sit up and take notice.
