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.
