Design and Development

Closer to you, closer to the solution

Electrical and electronic device designs are becoming increasingly miniaturised and complex, based on the explosive growth of information technology. As these electronic devices must offer continuously higher reliability and operability, the complexity of design requirement is increasing at an exponential rate.

Therefore focusing solely on connectors, JST has developed a worldwide organisation structure and internal system that directly links our customers' engineering teams with our development staff, who have complete decision-making authority.

JST's corporate commitment to technological innovation is quickly seen at a host of advanced development facilities throughout the world. A good example of this is at our Engineering Centre in Tokyo, which has incorporated N2 reflow soldering equipment for the study of fine pitch SMT connectors.

As part of this worldwide organisation structure, tss@jst.co.uk has also developed a dedicated design team to address and meet the demands of our customers. Whether it's a modification of an existing product or a completely new design specifically for our customers' application, we will assist step-by-step all the way.

If you have any questions regarding any of our products then please contact us on phone no: +44(0)1986 834418, or email us at tss@jst.co.uk. Alternatively, you can contact one of our local JST representatives; Dave Wauchope PTY Ltd or Mantech Electronics, who will be more than happy to deal with your enquiry.
