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 […]

PCB builder tool streamlines ordering process
Digi-Key Electronics announced that it now offers a printed circuit board (PCB) builder tool to streamline customers’ ordering experience of PCBs and to more broadly support their rapid prototyping needs. The PCB Builder allows PCBs to be shipped directly from the PCB manufacturer and will allow customers to receive instant quotes from multiple PCB companies […]
Compact Performers: PCB Terminal Blocks for Power Electronics
The increasingly compact design in electronics development today means that power and signal connections are now combined on the same printed circuit boards. The resulting increase in power density changes how we think about the requirements for PCB connection technology. Download this white paper to learn more.
Cloud-based PCB design software helps share layouts and models
Altium has launched a new cloud-based application that redefines the way that printed circuit board designs are shared between designers, part suppliers, and manufacturers. The A365 Viewer, powered by the Altium 365 cloud platform, is a brand new, and innovative way to view and share electronic designs through a browser on any web-enabled desktop, phone […]
NVIDIA’s VP and GM of Autonomous Machines Deepu Talla kicks off keynotes at 2019 Robotics Summit
The 2019 Robotics Summit in Boston on June 5th and 6th is a premier robotics event focused on the design, development, manufacture, and delivery of commercial robotics. The Summit is co-located with the DeviceTalks event at the Seaport World Trade Center. Critical technical challenges remain when designing electronics for robotics systems particularly in the context of […]
Miniature 4-pin ≥0.4mm-pitch logic package simplifies PCB assembly
Nexperia announced the four pin X2SON4 package which is the smallest logic package that can be used without requiring an expensive and fragile step-down mask. Nexperia developed the X2SON packages — part of its MicroPak package range — to provide the smallest footprint for logic functions while ensuring pad pitch remains 0.4mm or over (step-down masks are only […]
