Racing cars produce heat and vibration to levels that raise the eyebrows of our road-car colleagues! So how do we go about making reliable solutions for our racing customers? Making parts smaller and lighter aids performance of a race vehicle, but understanding the dynamics of the vehicle and being trusted to solve performance and reliability challenges are what sets TE Connectivity’s Autosport teams apart from the rest of the motorsport industry. We want to be there making winning products and providing technical know-how to the world of racing for many years to come. As race teams can’t predict their updates (or how many times their vehicles will need spares because of accident damage), we need to be ready to support them as the need arises. We need to be able to ship parts around the world, as teams need them, so we developed a dedicated network of motorsport specific suppliers to meet this need.

RESISTORS
A resistor is a passive component that reduces voltage or limits the current flowing through a circuit. This component can also absorb energy and dissipate this energy in the form of heat. Its resistance to the flow of electrons is determined by the conductive materials with which it is built. The materials used in the composition of a resistor perform a critical role in enabling performance reliability and stability, particularly for high-voltage, high-power, high stability/accuracy, or high-current applications.
