February 5, 2013 – Recently, the IEEE 802.3 Higher Speed Ethernet Consensus Ad Hoc group decided to focus its efforts on the next data rate of 400 Gb/s. The evolution of Ethernet technology hasbeen nothing short of remarkable: The next speed is in development before the current one has even reached the masses.
February 5, 2013 -In many cases, materials that have stood the test of time simply will not work in today’s high-performance chipsets, and the designer must consider alternate materials for use in these powerful packages. Rich Orstad reviews some of these materials and provides guidance for proper selection and use in BGA, split chip, and test socket assemblies.
January 22, 2013 – Titanium compounds perform an increasing variety of electronic functions, and their utility has proved far broader than silicon compounds. Dr. Peter Harrop examines current and future uses of the compound in next-generation applications and beyond.

January 22, 2013 – Swedish company Impact Coatings has introduced a new type of machinery that provides a viable alternative to wet gold plating, using high-volume physical vapor deposition (PVD).
Whenever there is a tragedy in any area of the world, thinking about the impact on business comes second to thinking about the impact on individuals. But restoring a stable business environment is one of the first steps in bringing about recovery.
January 15, 2013 – Flat, foldable Twin Axial Cable saves space in the box and rack without compromising performance.
January 15, 2013 – The recession reduced investment, cancelled many projects, and impacted budgets in the structured cabling market. Meanwhile, changes in IT technology reshuffled the product mix end-users demand from manufacturers, forcing companies to reconsider their portfolios and adjust the way they approach the market.
December 4, 2012 – When customers presented application challenges that weren’t met by traditional connector technology, TE Connectivity set out to develop a contactless technology that offered high performance with a low maintenance design. Here’s how TE solves problems faced by the robotics industry with its ARISO CONNECTLESS CONNECTIVITY.
November 20, 2012 – If your application’s requirements go beyond off-the-shelf components, L-com’s Dave Fallon offers some advice for working with a custom manufacturer.
11-12-12 – Summary: A lot has changed between the early generations of surge protectors for signaling, and the versions available today. New innovations have improved the quality of protection, broadened device functionality, and made it easier for users to manage the crucially important ongoing protection.
November 13, 2012 – SEA CON has been working on many projects with the principle aim of reducing various key parameters, such as size and weight, of electrical and optical connectors for extreme environments, without major compromises on performance. This technology is not limited to underwater applications but also applies to those in tactical and support environments, including airborne, surface shipping, and field applications subject to extreme operating conditions. SEA CON’s Gary E. Brown discusses the drivers behind shrinking extreme environment connectors and the technology innovations that have resulted. You can read the complete white paper online.
