Trilogy Of Connectors: Basic Principles And Connector Design Explanations

Reference Education Textbook Professional Development Engineering Electronics Technology Design

Engineers and technicians hunting for a single, durable reference on connector design keep snapping up the 2010 hard-cover “Trilogy Of Connectors: Basic Principles And Connector Design Explanations.” Published by Würth Elektronik and printed in Germany, this profusely illustrated textbook distills three stand-alone volumes—Basics, Mechanical Design, and Electrical Performance—into one 500-plus-page desk companion that never walks out of the lab. From crimp-force equations to EMI-shielding geometry, every concept is paired with full-color cut-away drawings, real-world failure photos, and spec tables you can apply straight to a CAD model or procurement sheet.

What makes this edition especially collectible is that it was written by the same application-engineering team that produces Würth’s industry-standard component libraries; the content is vendor-neutral yet packed with insider rules-of-thumb you will not find in academic tomes. Young professionals appreciate the graduated “theory → example → checklist” layout, while seasoned designers treat it as a trusted quick-lookup for contact plating compatibility, creepage standards, or connector derating curves. The sewn, jacketed hardcover lies flat on a bench, survives reflow-hot fingers, and—on this used copy—arrives clean, unmarked, and tightly bound with only light cover scuffing that keeps the price student-friendly.

Because Würth never reprinted the consolidated hardback after the first run, intact copies are increasingly scarce. Anyone restoring vintage hardware, mentoring STEM students, or updating a corporate design library will value having the complete “trilogy” in one indexed volume. Searchers typing “best connector design book,” “Würth Elektronik textbook,” or “hardcover electronics reference 9783899292015” consistently land on this title—grab it while this gently-used, annotation-free specimen is still available.
