CR123A battery holder has an ultra low profile
The BH123A is an ultra-low-profile battery holder for “123A” batteries. The battery is flush with the PCB surface, so it adds no height to a CR123A cell when mounted on a circuit board. Use multiple holders, wired thru the PCB for serial or parallel connectivity options. The battery holder is made of premium materials like […]
EMI receiver gets time-domain scan, real-time scan capabilities
Time Domain Scan (TDS) and Real Time Scan (RTS) capabilities have been added to the Keysight N9048B PXE Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) receiver that enable real-time measurements and diagnostics for faster electromagnetic compliance (EMC) certification. EMC testing requires detailed and exacting methodologies to ensure that all emissions are accurately measured. Long test times impact test facility […]

The Hioki PQ3198 Power Quality Analyzer can be used for assessing power usage as well as for investigating power supply problems such as voltage drops, flicker, harmonics, and other electrical issues. Hioki portable power analyzers can measure single to three-phase lines with a high degree of precision and accuracy. New features include the ability to […]
Stand-alone module facilitates testing of MIPI-enabled devices
The SV4D is a versatile, high-performance, ultra-compact test module enabling at-speed production testing for MIPI interfaces. Capable of operating independently or within any ATE load board, the SV4D is ideal for deployment at wafer sort as well as final test or system-level test. With up to 4 MIPI transmit or receive ports each containing multiple […]
Economical real-time spectrum analyzer monitors wireless signals in real time
The compact ThinkRF R5x50 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer series are designed to monitor wireless signals in real-time rather than via progressive scan as with most common spectrum analyzers. Real-time analysis is essential for observing intermittent or frequency-hopped signals. Sleeker, lighter weight, and quieter than their predecessor models, the R5550 and R5750 analyzers offer improved spectral performance, […]
Sockets handle 25-pin BGA packages little loss, minimal increase in PCB
A new high-performance socket handles 0.4-mm-pitch BGA 25-pin devices. The CG-BGA-5030 socket is designed for the 2.125×2.225-mm package size and operates at a bandwidth up to 30 GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss. The socket is designed with an easy open clamshell lid with an integrated compression mechanism. The contact resistance is […]
Foil-on-ceramic current-sense resistors offer values down To 2.5 mΩ
The CSRF Series utilizes foil-on-ceramic technology to achieve low values in small chip sizes. The 0.25-W rated CSRF0402 – HP, for example, is available in resistance values from 20 mΩ down to 2.5 mΩ. TCR ranges from ±400 ppm to ±200 ppm are possible depending on resistance value with tolerances as low as 1%. This […]
