A new socket addressing high-performance requirements for Burn-in and Test applications is called the SBT-BGA-6558. The contactor is a stamped-spring pin with 31-g actuation force per ball and cycle life of 125,000 insertions. The self-inductance of the contactor is 0.88 nH, insertion loss is less than 1 dB at 15.7 GHz, and capacitance 0.097 pF. […]
Anti-surge chip resistors now come in 0402 size
The RPC Series from Stackpole is an anti-surge chip resistor with superior pulse handling performance compared to standard thick film chips. Stackpole has recently added an 0402 chip size rated at 0.2 W and featuring values from 1 Ω to 1 MΩ in tolerances as low as ±0.5% and TCR as low as ±100 ppm. […]
Affordable data streaming and visualization service targets individual engineers
A cloud-based data streaming and visualization service for individuals includes unlimited data streaming and beautiful visualizations and is priced at $9.99 per month or $99 per year. The service is free for students. The technology is from Nashville, Tenn.-based Initial State Technologies Inc., acquired by Tektronix earlier this year. The cloud-based Initial State platform provides […]
Sights at the IDT tech seminar
Integrated Device Technology hosted a one-day technical seminar in Detroit covering wireless power, sensing, and timing technologies. Here are some of the notable demos we saw running there. NEXT PAGE: A better way to track motor shaft position: Inductive sensing
Ultra-compact logic analyzers sport large data buffer, built-in bus receivers for serial decoding
The Ikalogic SP2 Series of compact 9-channel 200-MHz logic analyzers offer in-depth analysis of logic signals and protocol decoding with 200-MHz (5 nsec) timing resolution. The nine-channel design allows 8-bit parallel data to be captured along with a clock or strobe signal at the maximum sampling rate without any trade-off between the number of active […]
BGA SMT emulation adapter set allows affordable, reliable socketing of BGA1089 ICs
The SF-BGA1089C-B-42F and LS-BGA1089C-41 BGA SMT adapter set enables a low-cost and reliable socket for 1089 pin BGA ICs. The adapter pair consists of the SF-BGA1089C-B-42F, patented female sockets with machined pins epoxy over-molded into an assembly that matches the male pin LS-BGA1089C-41. The epoxy over molded SF-BGA1089C-B-42F is soldered to a PCB using standard […]
Class II, Level VI external 110-W-rated supplies carry home medical and ITE safety certifications
The TDK-Lambda medical and industrial certified DTM110-C8 Class II (no earth ground needed) external power supplies meet stringent DoE Level VI and EU Tier 2 v5 standards for efficiency and off-load power. The DTM110-C8 is certified to the medical IEC 60601-1 and industrial IEC 60950-1 standards, making it suitable for a variety of hospital and […]
Flicker spectrometer quantifies light flicker, gauges CIE photometric/radiometric parameter
The GL Spectis 1.0 Touch Flicker Spectrometer is an upgraded version of the handheld Spectis 1.0 Touch Spectral Light Meter. This device can now measure the increasingly important parameter of light flicker in addition to the extensive range of standard photometric and colorimetric values already available. The Spectis 1.0 Touch Flicker Spectrometer is now equipped […]
Current sense chips comes in 0603 and 0805 sizes
Ultra precision current-sensing chip resistors, the CSS Series, offer precision tolerances as tight as 0.5% and TCR as low as 15 ppm. Recently, Stackpole extended the value range for the 0603 size adding a 4 mΩ value and the 0805 size adding a 3 mΩ value. Lower resistance values allow the CSS to sense higher […]
PSMA/PELS sponsor pre-APEC workshop on power magnetics at high-frequency
The Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) and the IEEE Power Electronics Society (IEEE PELS) are jointly sponsoring the fourth high-frequency magnetics workshop, “Power Magnetics at High Frequency,” on Saturday, March 16, 2019. The workshop will take place on the day before and in the same venue as APEC 2019 at the Anaheim Convention Center in […]
