TE Connectivity

Vishwas Rao, SVP and GM of Digital Data Networks at TE Connectivity, made an interesting point during his Our Connected World podcast talk: the engineers getting the most out of AI tools aren't using them to work less. They're using them to get to the interesting parts of their work faster.

Designing sensors for a car that parks itself is a different challenge than designing sensors for a car that simply needs to know how fast a wheel is spinning. The system expectations and accuracy requirements are different, and so is what failure looks like. As vehicles become more electrified, connected, and autonomous, sensors provide the trusted data needed for everything from braking and steering to predictive maintenance and passenger comfort. In a recent Connector Supplier article, Corneliu Tobescu, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, TE Sensors, discusses how sensor technologies are evolving to support the next generation of vehicle architectures.

At work, it is often easier to see what people produce than what they carry with them each day. That is why Employee Resource Groups like THRIVE play such an important role at TE Connectivity. THRIVE helps make inclusion visible and practical for people with mental, emotional, and physical disabilities, not only as a policy, but as something people can feel in the workplace. This week marked a milestone: the THRIVE local chapter in Italy launched at our San Salvo plant. The team chose to start not with an internal ceremony, but by inviting five community organizations to the table. Each one is already a partner through TE's Community Ambassador Program: the Italian Red Cross Vasto Committee, Anffas Vasto ETS-APS, AISM, Ricoclaun Onlus, and Casa Accoglienza "Genova Rulli." The event focused on inclusion by making space for the people and organizations who support those values in the community every day. #LifeAtTE #EveryConnectionCounts

Engineering time is finite. The question most engineers are quietly working through right now is how to protect more of it for the problems that need their full attention. That's a lot of what's driving the conversation around AI tools, not replacing expertise, but making room for more of it. Vishwas Rao, SVP and GM of Digital Data Networks at TE Connectivity, talked through what that shift looks like in practice on the Our Connected World podcast, including what it means for staying curious and adaptable as the tools keep evolving.

For Nate Myer, R&D Product Development Engineer at TE Connectivity, engineering is in the genes. Growing up around his father, John, problem-solving was just part of everyday life. The best ideas happened away from the desk, and curiosity kept going even after the workday at TE ended. Today, Nate brings that same mindset into his work on what’s next in mobility. From Nate and John, we see how the most meaningful mindsets get passed on. #EngineerToInnovate #TEConnectivity #EveryConnectionCounts

Every new advancement in transportation raises the pressure on the systems behind it. Vehicles are expected to process more information, respond faster, and continue evolving long after they leave production. That changes the demands on connectivity, sensing, power, and system architecture across the industry. Hear directly from TE Connectivity experts on the engineering challenges helping shape what comes next for mobility. #EveryConnectionCounts

At TE Connectivity, our mission goes far beyond engineering solutions, it’s about building connections that truly count. Last week, the Automation and Connected Living sector came together to dedicate time, creativity, and care to making teddy bears for children and families at the Ronald McDonald House of Philadelphia. These small, handcrafted bears represent something much bigger: comfort during difficult times, a sense of community, and the power of kindness. Moments like these remind us that innovation isn’t just what we create, it’s how we show up for others. #CommunityImpact #LifeAtTE #GivingBack

Wire harness installation used to happen late in the manufacturing process, after the body came out of the paint shop. Zonal architecture changes that entirely. Instead of running a complete harness through the assembled vehicle, the harness gets pre-assembled into discrete sections: the roof panel, the body, the underbody. Each zone is done before it arrives at the line. When the zones come together, the harness is already in. Dr. Nick Liu, TE Connectivity's Senior Director of Systems Engineering for Transportation Solutions, described it to Connector Supplier as similar to building with toy bricks. The prework is done and final assembly is fast. That shift matters for connector design too. Smaller, defined zones mean different routing requirements, different connector formats, and different tolerances for what automated assembly systems need to handle accurately. If you're working through connector or harness strategy for a new platform, it's worth understanding how far the zonal architecture conversation has moved. https://lnkd.in/gVrDGDdT

On World Environment Day, we’re recognizing how much thoughtful engineering can influence the future over time. The choices behind materials, manufacturing, and system performance don’t just affect what gets built today. They shape how industries continue to evolve, adapt, and improve in the years ahead. That long-term thinking continues to guide the work happening across TE Connectivity. #WorldEnvironmentDay #TEConnectivity #MovingForward

AI workloads are pushing the limits of speed, density, and power. Seeing the ecosystem come together to solve those challenges is what COMPUTEX is all about this week. That's the work TE is showing up for in Taipei. We’re highlighting: • HVDC power architectures supporting higher voltage and more efficient power delivery • Liquid cooling solutions enabling higher rack densities with improved thermal performance • High-speed optical connectivity that moves data faster and more efficiently across AI systems We are excited to be here alongside Wiwynn, a leading cloud IT infrastructure provider, showcasing how the broader ecosystem is accelerating next-generation infrastructure deployment. Come find TE products at Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 1, Booth J0106, or explore what we're showing in the virtual showroom: https://lnkd.in/exKpiSm7 #COMPUTEX2026 #AIInfrastructure #DataCenter #HVDC #LiquidCooling
