Here at MurCal we solder, crimp, and insulate our in-house wire harnesses together. That is great in the shop but how about in the field, in the real world? We want to keep our connections rugged and water tight. Trombetta has a solution. We can easily crimp some Deutsch pins and connectors for a CANbus extension leg. Once those are installed, we can mount and install one of our rugged CANbus splitters or other comparable products.

Q. How long have you been at MurCal? A. Technically, I've been with MurCal for 39 and a half years. However, I spent many more years as a kid running around the halls and making devices to play with from nuts, bolts, resistors, diodes, and capacitors. We'd pretend they were walkie-talkies and radios...

A circuit breaker is an automatically-operated switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from overloading and short circuits. It monitors the flow of current and “trips” or flips to the off position if current exceeds safe levels, cutting power to that circuit. After tripping, the breaker can be manually reset to restore power once the overload issue is resolved.
