ITT connectors named a "top component" by Electronic Design readers

APD connectors rank No. 6 on list of 2012 best components

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Aug. 13, 2012 – Each summer, Electronic Design, the industry’s largest published print magazine, rates the 101 products that garnered the most reader interest in the previous year. For 2012, the ITT APD connector series, which is geared to automotive applications, landed a spot in the top 10.

When compared with all electronic devices, from sensors and switches to motors and motion control components, the APD connector series ranked No. 6, and in the largest single category – interconnects – the series ranked No. 1. The ratings are based on the number of page views components attract on the publication’s Web site and on reader votes in an online survey.
