October 8, 2026 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, is now stocking the new EEPROM embedded smart connector from TE Connectivity. The EEPROM-embedded smart connector simplifies platform development and production processes by combining electrical connectivity and memory into a single, compact solution. The EEPROM-embedded smart connector enables smarter, more efficient platforms for applications such as consumer electronics, medical products, batteries, and industrial and consumer attachments.

The TE Connectivity EEPROM Embedded Smart Connector, now at Mouser, integrates an AT21CS11 1Kb serial EEPROM memory IC from Microchip Technology directly within the connector to support automatic model recognition, reduce manual setup steps, and help manage increasing product variation. The connector's integrated memory intelligence also enables local storage and retrieval of operating information and user-related data without a separate memory board, reducing PCB space requirements and overall design complexity.

The EEPROM-embedded smart connector is designed for long-term durability and mounts directly onto the PCB to improve robustness and vibration resistance. The EEPROM-embedded smart connector also enables faster maintenance, diagnostics, and servicing. Compatible with TE's Economy Power 2.5 connector platform, the EEPROM-embedded smart connector enables designers to support multiple applications with a common connectivity solution.
