When you first start out in the PCB layout game and know just enough to be dangerous, you simply plop down a connector, run a trace or two, and call it a hack. As you learn more about the finer points ...

Munich, Germany – D-Sub connectors with straight solder pins are available as versions “Combilock” with integrated UNC 4-40 or M3 threaded bolt, and “Boardlock” with UNC 4-40 or M3 internal thread. As ...

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 ...

Sometimes when you’re making a PCB that you plan on programming over USB, but you only plan on plugging in a couple of times, it would be nice to make that connection without another BOM item. Over on ...

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 ...

A common problem with design integration of conventional off-the-shelf medical connectors is that the connectors are rarely perfect matches for the application. They often require additional labor to ...

Printed circuit board development timelines continue to compress, driven by faster design cycles, tighter launch windows and increasing product complexity. While EDA tools and automation have improved ...
