Half-bridge automotive MOSFETs offered space-saving LFPAK56D package
Nexperia announced a series of half-bridge (high side & low side) automotive MOSFETs constructed in the space-saving LFPAK56D package format. The half-bridge configuration of two MOSFETS is a standard building block for many automotive applications including motor drives and DC/DC converters. The new package provides a half-bridge solution in one device, occupying 30% lower PCB […]
Putty-like thermal interface material delivers high conductivity
SARCON PG80B is high-performance putty-like thermal interface material. This extremely compressible gap filler delivers a thermal conductivity of 8.0 W/m°K with a thermal resistance as low as 0.05°C•in2/W at 43.5 PSI. SARCON PG80B requires a very low compression force, even under high compression rates, to make reliable contact between heat-generating components and nearby heatsinks. This […]
PCB design tool integrated utilities for search and place symbols, footprints, and 3D models
ExpressPCB is excited to announce the release of its new Plus PCB Design Suite (ExpressSCH Plus and ExpressPCB Plus version 3.0). Highlights of the newly added features include an integrated search and download for components using SnapEDA, a schematic link between ExpressSCH Plus and ExpressPCB Plus, as well as netlist validation between the printed circuit […]
High-current true 0-Ω SMT jumpers
A new series of “true” 0=-Ω high-current SMT jumpers designed to replace “Zero” ohm resistors are the latest connectivity devices available from Keystone Electronics Corp. Quick and easy set-up, these Jumpers are uniquely suited as true zero-ohm resistor replacements without the need to change board designs or layouts. Four resistor chip sizes are offered to […]
WLCSP packages get 52-GHz-bandwidth sockets
A new high-performance elastomer socket is designed to handle 0.35-mm-pitch WLCSP packages. The SG25-BGA-2071 socket is designed for a 4.525×4.525-mm package size and operates at bandwidths up to 52 GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss (GSSG configuration). The contact resistance is typically 20 mΩ/pin. Network analyzer reflection measurements for the G-S-S-G case […]
Write images and drill holes on flex circuits
>The Infinitum 10/10XT writes directly on flexible PCB resist to produce circuit images while the Apeiron system uses laser to product via holes.
Ultra-low loss prepreg delivers stable performance over a broad frequency range
Rogers Corporation is pleased to introduce SpeedWave 300P Ultra-Low Loss Prepreg. With the increasing need for stackup flexibility in high layer count designs for 5G mmWave, high resolution 77 GHz automotive radar, aerospace & defense and high speed digital designs, SpeedWave 300P prepreg offers a broad range of competitively priced high performance options for the […]
Adhesive gap-filler material mates hot components with cold heat sinks
With its WE-TGF (Thermal Gap Filler) Würth Elektronik now offers a new solution for heat dissipation. The outstanding feature of the self-adhesive gap-filler material: The non-conductive barrier with a high dielectric strength has a high thermoconductivity index of 1 W/(m*K). The material easily adapts to the differing thicknesses of components on the PCB and fills […]
