As the data rates in high-speed digital designs increase, the limits for overall system jitter become tighter. This especially applies to the various components of the clock tree, where the jitter limits for reference clocks, clock buffers and jitter attenuators are even tighter. Due to their high phase noise sensitivity, phase noise analyzers are the […]
New Press-Fit PCB Pins for Plated-through Holes
The development of four new pins specifically designed for press-fit into PCB plated-through holes, is providing a secure connection while maintain plated-through hole integrity and continuity. These new PCB pins incorporate square press-fit geometry and angled vent features making them suitable for solderless press-fit or press-fit and solder PCB termination.
Mill-Max Expands Rugged, Spring Loaded Connector Line
Mill-Max announces the expansion of the rugged, 4mm pitch connector series with the introduction of wire terminator spring-loaded and targeted connectors. This new connector series include solder-cups to accommodate wire and cable attachment along with flanged insulators and fastening options.
New Right Angle Solder Cup Holders
The newest developments in right angle solder cup header simplifies wire to board terminations. Enabling expedited soldering processes and reducing overall assembly height by eliminating the need to bend wires or cables for in-line connections round out the benefits of this new component.
Introducing the Latest Parallel Board-to-Board Connectors
The latest in parallel board-to-board connectors feature horizontal SMT headers and sockets ideally suited for low very low profile SMT connections. With the addition of a removal plastic cap, these new components provide the convenience of a traditional connector and once removed delivers an interconnected system with a minimal surface mount profile.
