Hirose Launches Solution Partner Network to Address Changing Design Challenges
May 6, 2024 | HiroseEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Hirose, a leader in the design and manufacturing of innovative connector solutions, has established a Solution Partner Network that enables OEMs to quickly explore product design, specialty IP, and component fulfillment options that best suit their needs.
The Solution Partner Network offers OEMs a competitive advantage. OEMs can easily expand their design and manufacturing resources thru a vetted channel to ultimately improve product performance, reduce costs and improve time-to-market. From quick turn prototyping, to designing for harsh environments, to scaling for manufacturing, Hirose’s Solution Partner Network addresses intricate design problems with tailored solutions that meet unique customer needs.
The Solution Partner Network is a strategic collaboration comprising Hirose, eight premier design partners with various product development core competencies and specialty IP, and Hirose’s eight distribution partners with expertise in logistics and fulfillment. The network enables OEMs to explore Hirose’s innovative connector solutions, various subsystem solutions from Hirose’s design partners, and peace of mind in component fulfillment from a Hirose distribution partner. Connect with Hirose, and explore design, specialty IP, and logistics options through Hirose’s new Solution Partner Network.
“Through the Solution Partner Network, OEMs can tap into a wealth of expertise, resources, and collaborative opportunities that will drive success in today's rapidly evolving marketplace,” said Pete Lais, Assistance VP of Product Management at Hirose Electric USA.

Elementary, Mr. Watson: Pushing Design Boundaries
05/29/2024 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonOverconstraint: What a concept. Our first thoughts would be: What are we hurting by overconstraining a design? Isn't it better to be safe than sorry? What is meant by overconstraint? It means to apply excessive constraints. In engineering and mathematics, it's used when there are too many simultaneous equations to result in an exact solution. For example, fitting a line to many points is overconstrained because a line cannot be drawn simultaneously through all of the points. In PCB design, overconstraints always occur, including dimensional, electrical, manufacturing, and timing constraints. The list goes on.
