Double-latch open-top sockets handle QFP208 chip packages

December 14, 2021 By Lee Teschler

A new stamped-spring pin socket addresses high performance requirements for testing 208- lead Quad flat pack packages. The CBT-QFE-3028 socket contains a contactor with a stamped-spring pin construction with a 17-gm actuation force per ball and cycle life of 10,000+ insertions. The self-inductance of the contactor is 0.88 nH, insertion loss < 1 dB at […]

SMT PCB sockets handle 6 A

December 7, 2021 By Lee Teschler

The Sycamore Contact 6-A current-rated surface-mount PCB sockets allow engineers to accommodate different designs, placing individual sockets freely on a board without the constraint of connector housings. Two additions complement the existing 3.87-mm-length sockets, which accept 0.8-1.3 mm or 1.5-1.9 mm mating pins. These new versions have longer body lengths of 5.87 mm, which means […]

Basics of cooling transistors, IGBTs, and power FETs with heat sinks and PCBs

December 2, 2021 By Chris Francis Leave a Comment

When designing any electronics that consume a significant amount of power, you need to consider where that power will go. With power electronics –such as IGBTs, power FETs, or power transistors – you might be expecting most of it to end up in your load, but there will be some which don’t. Even devices that […]

Ultra-high power thick-film chip resistors offer PCB space savings

November 12, 2021 By Redding Traiger

Today’s electronics devices push the envelope for smaller designs and greater functionality. Stackpole’s RMCP-UP is a high-power thick film chip resistor with very high power ratings for each case size, ranging from 0.2W rated 0402 sizes to 3W 2512 size. These elevated power ratings allow design engineers to use smaller chip resistors to free up […]

Here’s a rundown on free layout/PCB software

September 28, 2021 By dherres

free layout/PCB software

There are dozens of free PCB-layout and schematic packages available on the Web. Often they are stripped-down versions of more complex packages available for licensing. Often, the process of upgrading from freeware to more sophisticated versions is pretty easy. If your circuit needs are generally confined to relatively straightforward two-layer boards, here are a few […]

A comprehensive guide to PCB prototype testing

September 25, 2021 By WTWH Editor

By Arshon Technology For PCB prototype applications, one prerequisite is a must: reliable testing. These early products are built with the sole purpose of testing design ideas to ensure they work for approved use and sale. Be that as it may, PCBs can be unpredictable as there are many parts and patch associations. When electronic […]
