BGA socket for FCBGA955 packages handles 75-GHz signals
A new BGA socket design from Ironwood Electronics uses high-performance elastomer capable of 75 GHz, while exhibiting low inductance and operating over a wide temperature range. The GT-BGA-2086 socket is designed for a 21×21-mm package size and operates at bandwidths up to 75 GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss. The socket is […]
Ultra-Fit and Nano-Fit power connectors available from Sager Electronics
Sager Electronics is now stocking Molex’s Ultra-Fit and Nano-Fit power connectors. Ultra-Fit power connectors solve four key design challenges while offering the premium housing features of proven Mini-Fit and Micro-Fit 3.0 connector systems: color-coded housings mitigate the risk of mis-mating, optional TPA retainers significantly reduce terminal back-out, the streamlined design is 17% smaller than competing power […]
What types of connectors are used in industrial motion control systems?
Most cable assemblies used in motion control systems require some type of interconnect device to transmit the signals from the cable to the motor or drive. Commonly used connectors include M12 and M8 connectors, which are circular connectors with a 12- or 8-mm locking thread used for sensors, actuators, Fieldbus and industrial Ethernet, primarily in […]
