Tribotek to Display Expanded Product Line, Give Seminar at APEC 2006

Burlington, MA — March 16, 2006 — Tribotek, Inc., an electrical interconnect technology company focused on the design, development and manufacture of high-density power and data connectors, is scheduled to showcase the latest additions to its expanding line of high density, high performance power connector products at this year's Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition, APEC 2006, to be held on March 20th through the 22nd at the Dallas Hyatt Regency Hotel.

To be displayed at APEC 2006 is Tribotek's expanded line of high-performance power connectors, including the LowProTM high-density, low-profile power connector; the InBoard SocketTM, a compliant press-fit socket ideal for power delivery to backplanes; and several drawer-style products for hot-plug, blind-mating power applications. All Tribotek connectors benefit from LowR®, the company's award-winning, high-performance power contact technology inspired in the principles of tribology.

Tribotek's VP and Chief Engineer Matt Sweetland is also scheduled to give an Exhibitor Seminar during APEC 2006. Titled "Design of High Current Density Interconnects Through Locally Compliant Surface Structures," this will be a talk covering the basic design parameters, functional requirements and design trade-offs for high current density power connectors, as well as the basic physics behind interconnects, and the relative benefits and penalties for various design alternatives. The 30-minute presentation will be held on Tuesday March 21 from 4:00PM, at the Landmark Ballroom D of the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
