Here’s the rub when it comes to modernizing the outlets, switches and circuit breakers that characterize ac electrical systems: Any innovations must interoperate with an installed base of equipment that may have been in place for decades. Manufacturers say issues surrounding compatibility with installed equipment have slowed the rate of introduction for technologies such as […]
94-GHz BGA sockets handle Xilinx FFVB676 packages
A new BGA socket design uses high-performance elastomer capable of 94 GHz and features a low inductance for use in applications characterized by wide temperature ranges. The GT-BGA-2175 socket is designed for a 27×27-mm package size and operates at bandwidths up to 94 GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss. The socket is […]
Test setup simulates, characterizes, validates PCIe designs
An end-to-end PCIe test solution enables the simulation, pathfinding, characterization, validation and compliance testing of PCIe designs. To maintain performance goals and prepare for the PCIe 6.0 move to pulse amplitude modulation 4-level (PAM4), customers need a smooth transition from PCIe 5.0 to 6.0, where the integrity of PCIe measurements are backed by leading-edge tools […]
High-voltage probe provides isolation via fiber optics
The Saker-MV ISOVP Probe enables high-voltage isolated measurements via fiber optic cables. Optical fiber isolation provides high-voltage safety and increased signal integrity due to absence of induced interference from external fields. This also allows for much higher common mode rejection as compared to conventional differential probes. The probe head can be remotely put in standby, […]
Plastic battery holders have optional built-in on/off switch
The widely used Densi-Pak covered plastic battery holders now include the option to have a built-in On/Off switch. The built-in On/Off switch eliminates the need for additional components in designs using “AA” and “AAA” batteries – a candidate for self-contained powering components in a variety of applications. These high-performance Battery Holders are made with an […]
Test system handles latest Wi-Fi 6E devices
A newly integrated testing system allows testing to the new IEEE 802.11ax WLAN standard. The new band adds to the already available 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Anritsu’s Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A has been integrated with the EMITE E600 Reverberation Chamber, allowing developers to test the OTA TRP/TIS performance of IEEE 802.11ax devices […]
Test setup handles high-speed Ethernet cable assemblies up to IEEE 802.3ck
New compliance test automation software from Rohde & Schwarz for IEEE 802.3 cable assemblies allows for precise and time-saving compliance tests of high-speed cables and backplanes according to the IEEE 802.3bj, by, cd and ck standards. The R&S ZNrun vector network analyzer automation suite controls a vector network analyzer and a switching solution from Rohde […]

Foundries.io will partner with Arduino to deliver secure, embedded Linux IoT and Edge solutions for the enterprise with the Arduino Pro Portenta X8. Arduino is an open source electronics company that manufactures open hardware development boards used by millions of developers around the world. It will use FoundriesFactory in its enterprise product to help customers […]
AC/DC supplies in 2×1-in format are OVC III rated
The ‘E-K’ range of encapsulated, PCB-mount AC/DC modules now includes the 20-W RAC20E-K/277. Even though it is economically designed, the series is dimensionally of the same size as the existing 20 W at just 52.7×27.6-mm footprint, but with a different pinning that is compatible with further industry standards. It also features full-load operation over a […]
