ERNI has expanded its M12 wire-to-board connector product offering to include a center axis, PCB edge mounting connector that saves significant board space when compared to top mount right angle ...

This article introduces the basic concept of PXI-Express (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation-Express) and studies the key considerations for modular hardware PCB layout design to achieve PXI-Express ...

Leading connector expert Harwin is using the forthcoming PCB Live event to profile an extension to its award-winning Gecko-SL (Screw-Lok) product range, which includes horizontal male connectors. The ...

Hirose has squeezed two 4A contacts, four 2.5A contacts and 10 signal contacts into a 1.9 x 5.33mm two-part flexi-to-PCB connector with an 0.6mm stacking height. “The connector features an armored ...

Most printed-board connectors are either a one-piece receptacle or a two-piece plug and jack. With receptacle (edge) connectors, the printed-circuit board foils extend to an edge of the board and are ...

When current flows through a conductor it becomes an inductor, when there is an inductor there is an electromagnetic field (EM). This can cause a variety of issues during PCB layout if you don’t plan ...

As a general rule, when a design’s speed rises to more than a few hundred megahertz, it requires a PCB (printed-circuit board) with four or more layers. The only exception occurs when the design uses ...
