New Technology for Joining Plastic Parts-With feedback from load cells, encoders and other sensors, today’s microprocessor-controlled plastic welders offer extraordinary command over every aspect of the joining process. Depending on the machine, engineers can monitor and control ram force, ram speed, amplitude, power, energy, weld… READ MORE
Parameters for hermetically sealed connectors-Sealing is a very complex science by itself as it involves many physical aspects, including mechanical design, materials science, surface science and fluid behaviour. Armin Reicharz reports. For applications requiring hermetically sealed connectors - like vacuum processing equipment, pressure vessels… READ MORE
Power Distribution for High-Voltage/High-Current Circuits Creates Challenges-High-voltage/high-current circuits in antenna, radar, rangefinder, satellite, military ground vehicles, shipboard, and other aerospace and defense applications — as well as 270-VDC aircraft power systems — pose unique power-management challenges. Today, it’s critical to design solutions that can handle high… READ MORE
Tackling the Unique Requirements of Hermetic Packaging for Harsh Environments-For electronic warfare systems, implantable medical devices, down-hole oil logging tools, and other applications that require components to operate reliably in harsh and mission-critical environments, reliable hermetic packaging and components provide a critical defense against failures that can quickly lead… READ MORE
Is an RTC Module Timing Solution Right for Your Project?-Timing solutions are critical to today’s electronics. Many engineers rely on the internal real-time clock (RTC) functionality that comes embedded in microcontroller units (MCUs) and system on chips (SoCs). Those functions rely on crystal, crystal oscillator (XO), and temperature compensated… READ MORE
Key technology trends driving the medical connector market-The quality and reliability of electronic equipment is vital for every industry, but it is especially critical in the medical industry where human life and safety depend on equipment operating as intended. This formidable responsibility not only impacts the device… READ MORE
Reed Switch & Sensor Technology for Technology Applications-Used from test and measurement equipment to medical electronics, automotive, household appliances, aerospace, telecom, consumer electronics, HVACs, general purposes, and much more, Reed Switches offer product designers a reliable, hermetically sealed switching solution. The Reed Switch’s hermeticity lends itself to… READ MORE
Maximizing the reliability of Reed Relays in your designs-If used correctly, a Reed Relay is a superbly reliable device. The switch contacts are hermetically sealed, so do not suffer from oxidization or contamination in the same way as an open electromechanical relay. In reality, though, relays are often… READ MORE
