Rotary coded switch range offers wide operating temperature range
The availability of the Elma C15 Rotary Coded Switch range has been announced by Foremost Electronics.The C15 multifunction switch is intended for cost sensitive applications where space is critical and is particularly suitable for frequency and channel selection in two way radios, portable appliances, instrumentation and similar miniaturised mobile applications.
Solder-tag board opens way to low cost prototyping
A 40-pin solder-tag board for the Raspberry Pi credit-card sized computer board has been introduced by RS Components. Exclusively available from RS, the solder-tag board is ideal for electronics engineers developing prototypes based around the Raspberry Pi board, as well as being well suited for education and the training of students and electronics beginners.
Testing the reliability of Ni-Cu-Ag plated solar modules
imec (partner in EnergyVille) and BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. (Besi) announced that they have demonstrated long-term reliability in five full size 60-cells Nickel/Copper/Silver (Ni/Cu/Ag) plated solar cell modules, confirming the industrial value of this metallisation technology.The modules consist of 60 front side laser ablated and Ni-Cu-Ag plated p-type Cz-Si cells. The plating was performed with Meco’s Direct Plating Line, an indust...
The right amount of balance in human qualities and advanced automation
According to Roberto Banelli, CEO of MB Elettronica, successful manufacturing in Europe all depends on maintaining the right balance between the human abilities to visualise and adapt, and technological innovation to handle high-quality processes cost-effectively.
Tools enable integration of antennas onto PCB designs
Manufacturer of antennas and RF antenna modules for M2M and the Internet of Things,Antenova, has launched a series of tools and resources to help product designers successfully integrate antennas onto new PCB designs, with the aim of making antenna integration simpler and faster for all designers.
Industrial mini I/O connector portfolio extended
TE Connectivity has upgraded its portfolio of industrial mini I/O connectors with the addition of a surface-mount PCB header. Its co-planarity of just 0.08mm enables the amount of paste to be minimised during assembly. Because of this, the surface mount PCB header delivers improved solderability.
