VIAVI has announced the introduction of a new optical connector inspection solution for next-generation transceivers.

Würth Elektronik expands its SMA connector family for high frequency applications to include WR-SMA PCB Solderless. 

Molex continues to build on its automotive industry expertise with the introduction of its MX-DaSH family of data-signal hybrid connectors that unify power, signal, and high-speed data connectivity in a single connector system.

Junkosha has chosen DesignCon 2024 as the platform to showcase its breakthrough ultra-phase stable advancements in high frequency cabling solutions.

Würth Elektronik is expanding its USB-C range with a 24-pin fully-configured horizontal receptacle for SMT assembly. 

The MXPM and MXP connector lines are ideally suited for applications requiring performance, speed and density, including benchtop and system testing, and internal cabling in automated test equipment.

Hirose has released a multi-RF board-to-board connector that provides a size reduction of up to 71% compared to conventional designs.  

The continued progression to higher data rates puts increasing demands on the design of practical SerDes channels. At 112G-PAM4, the UI is only 17.86 ps, and signal transmission in the PCB must be highly optimized for loss, reflections, crosstalk, and power integrity. This article summarizes the key elements of a study that describes the signal-integrity and power-integrity design process and shows simulated SI and PI performance correlated to measured data as well as measured eye diagrams of a test board that uses a 112G-capable silicon and high-speed compression-mount cable connectors. 

Engineers who design and model power distribution networks require accurate component level models from high frequency down to DC.  Accurate modelling of power connectors can guarantee best power transfer and minimize power-induced noise.  In this paper, which won a DesignCon 2020 Best Paper Award, the authors analyze the frequency-dependent resistance and inductance of various power connectors as well as pin patterns.

In the high-speed connector design arena, there are two opposing ideas. For some people, if you simply put pieces of plastic and metal together, eventually you have a signal transmission. This process is very simple. On the other end of the spectrum, there is the idea that a solid connector design requires a deep understanding of electromagnetic theory, a wisdom only sorcerers and wizards possess.
