Wuerth Elektronik introduces printed pulse resistors for various voltage ranges. The product is reported to reach 200,000 V and to have increased reliability at high levels of thermo cycles. It has withstood temperature cycle tests of -40° C / +125° C, up to 3,000 cycles.

The resistors can be printed on the innerlayer of multilayer boards, saving space on external layers. Because they have no solder joints, they are not affected by any solder defects.

Yamaichi Electronics introduces the MatchCon series of connectors. The connectors feature a special contact design for applications with strong vibration exposure, such as the automotive sector. Male and female contacts interlock, providing a high contact force and eliminating the typical fretting seen with tin-plated versions.

Based on a 1.27-mm pitch, the series provide a variety of 90° and 180° board connectors in SMT and with TH pins. The cable connection is secured by IDC technology and by an additional locking between the board and cable connector.

Versions are available in 6 to 26 pin counts.

Ucamco introduces the FlashRip raster image processor. FlashRip is optimized for ripping and plotting very fine line images down to 4 μm features for HDI PCBs and chip-scale packaging substrates for BGA, FC-CSP and FC-BGA/LGA packages.

The company reports increases in throughput up to 100%, depending on plotter model and job complexity.

Crydom, a subsidiary of Custom Sensors and Technologies, introduces the HS Series of heat sinks. Suitable for combined loads from 10 amps to 100 amps, the heat sinks can accept 1, 2 or 3 standard, single, dual or 3-phase solid state relays.

The heat sinks are designed for DIN rail or panel mounting and are available with thermal impedance ratings from 5.0 °C/W to 0.5 °C/W.

Accessories include thermal interface pads, clear touch safe SSR covers and heat sink mounting hardware.

Rogers Corp. introduces RO4730 LoPro laminates for base station, RFID and other antenna designs. The halogen-free laminate combines low-loss dielectric with low-profile copper foil for reduced passive intermodulation and low insertion loss.

The thermoset resin system incorporates a hollow, microsphere filler, producing a low density, which results in a lightweight laminate that is reported to be 30% lighter than woven-glass PTFE materials.

According to the company, the product has a matched dielectric constant of 3.0. It is also lead-free and automated assembly compatible.

Features include low z-axis CTE of about 40 PPM/°C and a temperature coefficient of dielectric constant of around 23 PPM/°C. The RO4730T LoPro has a high glass transition temperature greater than 280 °C, the same as the company’s other RO4000 laminates, and is compatible with standard PCB fabrication techniques and PTH processing.
