CHICAGO -- September 29, 2015 - Newark element14 is now stocking TE Connectivity's (TE) ARISO Contactless Connectivity platform, a hybrid interconnection system which reliably delivers power, data and signal over short distances, even in harsh environment applications. This platform helps overcome traditional connector restrictions and design constraints because no mechanical contact is required, enabling connectivity where connections were not possible before.

In factory environments, dust, dirt, water, corrosion and vibration can threaten connections that are crucial to maximizing uptime and productivity. TE's ARISO Contactless Connectivity overcomes those design restrictions, while making maintenance and installation easier due to a high degree of design flexibility.

TE's ARISO Contactless Connectivity provides a small form factor and features such as over temperature, reverse polarity and foreign object protection. It is easy to use and offers all the benefits of a non-mechanical contact point.

Additional features include:

· Rotational freedom

· No wear and tear

· Reduced maintenance

· Unlimited mating cycles

· Vibration resistance

· Inductive magnetic coupling providing reliable connections

· Connection on the fly

TE's ARISO Contactless Connectivity platform can be used in a variety of applications including printing drums, milling machines, injection molding, centrifuges, wafer production, rotary tables and robotic tool changers.

TE's ARISO Contactless Connectivity connectors can be purchased from Newark element14 here .
