DF50 1mm pitch, board-to-wire connector reportedly reduces required printed circuit board mounting area. Features a locking mechanism designed to prevent uneven locking. Locking function and contact mating occur simultaneously. Has a lance structure with a cable pull force of 10N min. Is designed with blade type contacts attached to a thick housing wall said to be resistant to cracking or deformation. Nickel barrier plating prevents solder wicking. Comes in straight and right angle versions; available in a single-row with 2 to 16 positions or as a double-row with 30 positions. Has a current rating of 1A per pin, a voltage rating of 100 VAC / DC, contact resistance of 50 mO max. at 20mV (1mA) and an operating temperature range of -35° to 85°C. For LCD, LCD TVs, PDP, wireless LANs, office equipment, notebook PCs/laptop computers, industrial control units, automotive audio and navigation systems, medical devices, commercial gaming equipment and consumer hobby applications.

Nanotherm MBPCB (Metal-Backed Printed Circuit Board) features a nano-ceramic dielectric layer for thermal management.

Material Disclosure software protects trade secrets about products and raw materials while providing supply chain traceability. Can upload reporting templates such as EICC-GeSI to a secure central database to create reports from consolidated supplier data. Works to increase response times from suppliers and automates querying suppliers on a regular basis, as well as gathering and storing data. Collects data on raw materials, including gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten. Data are collected at the bill of material level down to the substance level throughout the supply chain.
