TT electronics’ entire range of ABCIRH connectors have met the requirements of the UK rail operator by conforming to NR/L42/SIG/30027 specifications. The plug and play connectors from TT electronics are designed for high reliability applications and can be used in trackside cabling for applications including signals, points and level crossings.
TT electronics global product line director for traction Geraint Davies said its engineers have been working with the technical team at Network Rail for nearly two years to ensure the products withstand the shock, vibration and environmental conditions found in trackside applications.
"We are delighted to achieve the NR/L42/SIG/30027 specification and we are already working with a number of subcontractors on refit projects," Davies added.
Network Rail is working with TT electronics to approve the ABCIRH connector range for use on signalling infrastructures. TT electronics stated it has developed a product matrix detailing all the different product permutations to assist railway subcontractors in selecting the right product for each application.
