The Black Swans of Circuit Protection
Reading Nicholas Taleb’s “The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable” (Random House 2007), the definition of a Black Swan caught my attention.
“…an event with the following three attributes. First it is an outlier, as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations, because nothing in the past can convincingly point to its possibility. Second, it carries an extreme impact. Third, in spite of its outliers status, human nature makes us concoct explanations for its occurrence after the fact, making it explainable and predictable.”
Could this description be relevant to circuit protection designs? I suggest that it can, based on these observations. Continue reading
TE Circuit Protection at CEATEC 2011
CEATEC is one of the largest IT and electronics trade shows in Japan where hundreds of leading innovative companies gather to showcase their latest product and technology offerings. This year TE Connectivity will be showcasing the TE Copter which is a human powered helicopter capable of hovering about 10 feet in the air The TE Copter was built using nearly 100 different TE Connectivity products including some of our own circuit protection devices. By empowering the human body to lift above the melee the TE Copter symbolizes the strength of the Japanese people persevering though the Tsunami disaster. CEATEC 2011 will be held from October 4th – 8th at Makuhari Messe in Tokyo, Japan. You can find us at booth No. 8G86 in hall 8. Continue reading

Tyco Electronics is now TE Connectivity
As you can see by the new logo at the top of the page, we are now TE Connectivity! The idea behind the name change is that TE connects and protects the flow of power and data in millions of products.
Many of you came to know and love our circuit protection products when they were first offered by Raychem, then Tyco International and then Tyco Electronics. You can continue to expect the same high-quality solutions when solving your most demanding design challenges. The only difference is that now we have a new face — TE Circuit Protection. Our blog, around the circuit, will also continue to highlight new trends in the electronics industry in general — and circuit protection in particular. Continue reading
