Odd Connectors That For Some Reason Are Popular
One of our most popular product lines is two-piece board stacking connectors, what we call “Flexible Stacking.” If a designer is not familiar with our capabilities, I tell them that we have more ways to connect two or more boards than any other connector company. By that I mean we have tons of pitches, pin counts, stack heights, orientations, and combinations of connectors. Put another way, we have more design flexibility than Bubba has shrimp. This variety and design flexibility also … [Read more...]

Radar Detection
The popular concept of radar detection can be seen in a hundred movies – a group of serious-looking controllers studies a circular screen intently in a darkened room. They could be civilians or soldiers, but the sweeping radar display is very familiar to most of us. Radar has become an essential tool in the aerospace, marine and even land-based theaters. The concept behind radar is very simple and the name itself – RADAR – is short for Radio Detection and Ranging. Radio waves are emitted … [Read more...]
Knocking On The Door To 112 G PAM4
Channel rates have evolved from 28 Gbps NRZ to the current 56 Gbps PAM4, with 112 Gbps PAM4 in-development and knocking at the door.
