Starting a new FPGA project typically requires a custom form factor, pinout, and thermal concept for every design. Now the Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies (SGET)’s new Open Harmonized FPGA Module, or oHFM, puts a new high-speed board-to-board interconnect at the center of the design. A new standardized interface is changing the way FPGA applicationsRead More
Engineers frequently devote significant attention to processors, sensors, and software from the outset of a project, with connector selection sidelined until the later stages. However, the importance of electrical connectors cannot be underestimated: a single compromised connection can interrupt power delivery, corrupt data transmission, or bring equipment to a standstill.

Power D or Combo D-subs are specialized mixed-layout connectors that combine standard signal contacts with larger contacts for power, coax (RF), or high voltage in one shielded, locking, D-shaped shell. Some product lines also add fiber-optic contacts. The two names are often used interchangeably; however, some manufacturers use “Power-D” and “Combo-D” to distinguish products inRead More
