The XMPL Polymer Chip Capacitor Series has been expanded to match applications with higher voltage and capacitance requirements. Their excellent capacitance and voltage stability with temperature and frequency make these conductive polymer capacitors ideal for applications where bulk storage and high ripple current filtering are needed. Possessing much lower ESR and a shorter height profile […]
Elastomer socket for BGA324 packages with 23-W power dissipation
A new socket handles ASE package BGA 324 devices. The sockets use an elastomer technology as a contactor between the IC package and the circuit board. The elastomer can support +50 GHz bandwidth and comes with a protective cover. (The cover is necessary because the elastomers are sensitive to dirt.) The elastomer has a low […]
Elastomer sockets handle BGA1365 chip packages
New sockets handle ball grid array devices with a 1,365 pin count and a 0.65-mm pitch. The socket utilizes a high-performance elastomer contactor and has over 40 GHz bandwidth with a -1 dB insertion loss. The self-inductance is 0.21 nH. Capacitance to ground is 0.15 pF. Current capacity is 4 A/pin. The socket operates over […]
Cloud-native electrical design SaaS offering targets small-to-medium-sized businesses
Capital Electra X is a new cloud-native electrical design software as a service (SaaS) offering aimed at individual electrical designers or small teams that require an affordable yet powerful electrical design solution. Part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of software and services, Capital Electra X offers users sophisticated electrical design capabilities with lower cost-of-ownership and […]
CAD models cover timing, inductor products
SnapEDA, the first search engine for electronic design, and Abracon, an industry leader in passive components, have released over 13,000 new computer-aided design (CAD) models to help engineers design electronics faster. Designers spend weeks creating CAD models for their printed circuit board (PCB) designs. Besides being time-consuming, creating CAD models is a detailed and sophisticated […]
Stamped-spring pin socket accepts dual-row QFP packages
A new socket addresses high performance requirements for burn-in and test applications. The SBT-QFE-3035 socket includes a contactor that is a stamped spring pin with 14-gm actuation force per ball and cycle life of 125,000 insertions. The self inductance of the contactor is 0.88 nH, insertion loss of < 1 dB at 20.5 GHz and […]
Audio component CAD models compatible with PCB design tools
An online experience allows engineers to visualize and download CAD models for PUI Audio products. To save engineers weeks of design work, SnapEDA created the first search engine focused on providing trustworthy electronics CAD (E-CAD) data. Traditionally, engineers have spent hours creating the CAD models needed for circuit board design. The process of creating and […]
“Zero-height” metric threaded inserts for PCBs
Ultra-Low-Profile, Surface Mountable Threaded Inserts now include Metric and Imperial thread options. These inserts are specifically designed and packaged for use on PCBs in the same manner as other SMT components as a simplified method of adding threads to PC Boards. Manufactured from steel with a tin plate, these inserts offer an easy method of […]
Circuit board shields feature short lead-time customization
Modified CBS products use existing tooling and manufacturing processes to create near-custom solutions with short lead times and little or no NRE, while providing all the same benefits of our CBS products. This allows for any parameter size and custom shapes to provide optimal shielding and save board space. Designs can include I/O holes, trace […]
Chip sockets handle flat no-lead SO-8 packages
A new high-performance elastomer socket for 1.27-mm-pitch QFN packages called the SG-MLF-7103 socket is designed for a 6.15×5.15-mm package size and operates at bandwidths up to 30 GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss (GSSG configuration). The contact resistance is typically 20 mΩ/pin. Network analyzer reflection measurements for the G-S-S-G case were taken […]
