CALL FOR PAPERS

Call for Papers

Share your knowledge.


NOTE: The Call for Papers submisssion has been closed. The program committee will now review all submissions and draw up the program for the 2024 event.

Shape the Connectors User Congress

The Connectors User Congress is the first and only event in Europe that is exclusively, practice-oriented and in-depth devoted to the diverse topics and challenges involved in the use of connectors in industry, automation technology, automotive, telecommunications and data technology as well as medical technology.

Submit a meaningful summary of your topic (maximum one A4 page) in German or English using the form attached below.

Target group of the event


This practice-oriented conference is aimed at engineers, designers, technicians and industrial engineers from electronics and device development, application technology, quality assurance, production planning, purchasing and component approval, technical and product management and distribution.

Speakers are invited


Experts from industry, research and teaching as well as trainers, experienced users and specialists from software and tool providers are invited to pass on their know-how and to present new findings and concepts.

As a speaker, do you want the participants to share in your expertise? Then submit a proposal latest by January 15th, 2024. Your abstract should be around 1000 characters long (no images) and describe the subject of the talk technically. Only presentations will be accepted that deal with technical, technological, standardization-relevant or user-related aspects of the topics mentioned. Marketing-oriented contributions, association or company presentations cannot be taken into account.

Please plan your presentation so that it does not exceed a length of 25 minutes. Following your presentation, there should be at least 5 minutes for a question-and-answer session with the participants.

Do you have questions? Please don't hestitate to contact us.

We are looking for presentations on the following topics


  • New solutions in connection technology
  • DC connectors: New applications in power supply, industry, building services and e-mobility
  • Automotive requirements for board to wire & board to board, signal connector systems in the HV environment
  • Electrical contacting in e-mobility
  • Thermal management of contact materials and plastics for high current applications
  • Plastics: Clearances and creepage distances in mating systems
  • Aging of plastics for dielectric strength and creepage resistance
  • Press-fit technology
  • Board-to-board connectors: high-speed; high-current requirements & heat dissipation
