This article discusses the essential considerations of mounting connectors on PCBs. These aspects include the pin assignments for signals and grounds, stubs due to the pins of through-hole or ...

ERNI has expanded its M12 wire-to-board connector product offering to include a center axis, PCB edge mounting connector that saves significant board space when compared to top mount right angle ...

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 ...

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 ...

While connectors are essential components of nearly every electronic application, they can be easily overlooked by design ...

Promising to eliminate the need for board-to-board connectors, the APD direct PCB connector interfaces to a PCB internally, rather than with a standard crimped cable connection. Promising to eliminate ...

Samtec has created a line of RF connectors that mount to the edge of PCB by bolting rather than soldering. They measure only 9.5mm from side-to-side where they sit on the PCB and are under 8mm from ...

Harwin has extended the scope of its high-reliability (hi-rel) connector portfolio through the introduction of mixed-layout versions of the company’s popular Gecko-SL series. By complementing the data ...

When current flows through a conductor it becomes an inductor, when there is an inductor there is an electromagnetic field (EM). This can cause a variety of issues during PCB layout if you don’t plan ...
