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.

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 […]
