Miniaturisation means manufacturers need surface mounting technology to deliver more than ever before. That’s why we created STH terminal blocks and connectors. Small products require miniature components. The smaller the components get, the greater the need for robotic (rather than human) positioning. Traditionally, compact high precision terminal blocks required some manual intervention, but manual intervention

When might flexible connectors have the edge over rigid (and vice versa)? There’s not always a clear demarcation between applications, products or industries better suited to rigid interconnect systems and those better suited to flexible. Applications for both technologies have a wide overlap, and both enable a shift from a single PCB in a 2D
