Helping to Develop Living Space.

More than ever, people like to spend their time at home – home office is certainly one of the reasons for this, but it only partly explains the “cocooning” trend that has been going on for some time now. Home appliances – generally also referred to as White Goods – form a key segment in the consumer goods market. This covers a large selection of devices, ranging from washing machines and dryers, to refrigerators and freezers, to dishwashers and stoves or microwaves as well as small appliances like modern coffee machines, toasters, blenders, vacuum cleaners and shavers.

More than 37 years ago, this industry created what is termed a Household Appliances Standard – and Lumberg was involved in this development from the very start. RAST connectors were created at the time with the aim of standardizing components, to guarantee conformity for connectors from different manufacturers and to eliminate errors in the production process due to mismated connections, or to simplify the process of the end device’s assembly and minimize faulty wiring. RAST also facilitates the consolidation of connections, which helps to avoid discrete connections and discrete cable harnesses. Advantages, which to this very day have furthered their success in numerous other sectors, including automotive. Lumberg is the RAST specialist here, boasting the broadest and deepest product range.
