A new socket addresses high-performance requirements for burn-in and test applications. Called the SBT-BGA-6044, the socket contains a contactor that is a stamped spring pin with 19-gm actuation force per ball and cycle life of 125,000 insertions. The self-inductance of the contactor is 0.93 nH, insertion loss of < 1 dB at 14.1 GHz and […]
Isolated analog amps provide accurate current measurements
Silicon Labs has introduced a family of isolated analog amplifiers, voltage sensors and delta-sigma modulator (DSM) devices designed to provide accurate current and voltage measurement with very low drift across temperature. Based on Silicon Labs’ robust, third-generation isolation technology, the new Si89xx family provides flexible voltage, current, output and package options to help developers reduce BOM […]
Filters, Part 1: Analog, switched, and digital filters
Filters are essential functions in most circuits and systems; as frequencies extend into the multi-GHz range, surface acoustic wave (SAW) and bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters are needed to meet the design objectives. An engineer I worked with (and whose name I have forgotten) once remarked to about electronic filters (and he was serious): “like […]
MRI, Part 2: Historical development (and lawsuits)
The modern MRI system is an amazing blend of diverse technologies, based on the realization that a small but critical aspect of the spin of hydrogen nuclei could be leveraged to provide a safe, non-invasive way to see inside a human body. Part 2 of this FAQ looks at the physics and other advances that […]
Heilind now stocking single-action lock connectors from Hirose
Heilind Electronics, an authorized distributor for Hirose, is now stocking the manufacturer’s FH62 Series FPC connectors. These robust connectors feature an easy-to-use single-action lock that secures through a simple insertion of the FPC after mounting — ultimately reducing assembly time. Because this design eliminates the requirement to close a locking lever while mating, it prevents […]
Tantalum caps can handle 150°C in industrial/automotive apps
AVX Corporation released a new series of miniature, surface-mount, J-lead tantalum capacitors that deliver high reliability and high volumetric efficiency in high-temperature automotive and industrial applications. The new F9H Series meets AEC-Q200 requirements, is compliant with RoHS2 directive 2011/65/EU, is rated for operating temperatures up to 150°C, and offers the industry’s highest CV/cc in a high-temperature […]

Optical amplifiers, Part 2: Basic implementations
Part 1 of this FAQ began an overview into the arcane world of all-optical amplifiers including where and why they are needed. Part 2 will briefly describe the four types and identify the two most commonly used for optical-fiber link signal boosting. Q: How “accurate” will this presentation be? A: Frankly, it will have large-scale […]
Micro-sized slide potentiometers for consumer, audio, medical, or industrial applications
TT Electronics has combined miniaturization with economy in the PSM050S-10B10KB – part of the PSM series of long-life miniature PCB mount slide potentiometers for audio, consumer, medical, and industrial applications. Available in six resistance variants ranging from 500Ω to 50kΩ, and offering linear response with better than 5% linearity tolerance, the 10mW micro miniature potentiometer […]
