Smarter, Greener Appliances

Trend Insight

Save energy, water, time

Your smart appliances need to meet minimum energy consumption regulations. We can help you build more energy-efficient designs.

Meeting the Requirements

TE helps you meet global energy-consumption requirements for your appliance designs. ENERGY STAR (U.S.), the EU Energy Labeling Directive (European Union), and the Energy Rating Label (Australia) – all mandate or incentivize reducing household electricity consumption. The smartest appliances of today use sensors interfacing with cables and connectors to detect and manage energy usage.

For example, the sensors in today’s smart washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers can monitor humidity and water levels, temperature, turbidity, etc. This automatically triggers the appliance to the shorten cycles, run at off-peak hours, or report service issues. Now adding sensor design and manufacturing to our well-established connector business, we offer you the product and support capabilities to enable your transformative, energy-wise smart appliances.
