USB Power Delivery Makes Circuit Protection Mandatory

On October 18, 2019 in All, Circuit Protection, Computing, Connectors by Steven Keeping

The additional voltage and current introduced to the popular USB standard by USB-PD multiplies hazards and makes circuit protection essential. But designing protection against all threats can be complex and expensive. Integrated solutions from chip makers simplify the task.

Avoiding Connector Reflections in mmWave Applications

On August 15, 2019 in All, Connectors by Robert Huntley

Connecting the parts of a mmWave system requires careful attention. As the frequency increases, so does the risk for disruptive reflections to impact efficiency, as with traditional compression-type solderless connectors. Learn how a new solderless PCB connector exhibits minimal reflections up to 67GHz.

Ensuring the Electrical Safety of Powered Exoskeletons

On August 15, 2018 in All, Connectors, EIT 2018: Generation Robot, Industrial, Medical, Motor Control, Power, Robotics, Sensors by Alex Misiti

Exoskeleton use in improving the mobility of patients with spinal cord injuries, helping industrial workers lift heavy objects, and enhancing soldiers’ abilities on the battlefield are obvious benefits, but designers and engineers must remove safety risks to ensure the health and well-being of users.

Cobots: A Major “Motion” Feature of Star Wars

On May 18, 2018 in All, Automation, Connectors, EIT 2018: Generation Robot, Robotics by Jeremy Cook

In Star Wars, aliens, spaceships, and planets change as the epic tale unfolds, but one aspect is constant: The collaborative robots, known as “droids,” who follow the heroes to the end of their journey.

K-SIM Improves Capacitor Datasheets and Simulates Multiple Parameters

On April 30, 2018 in All, Circuit Protection, Connectors, Industrial, Medical, Power, Student Central by KEMET Electronics

Capacitor datasheets are notorious for omitting performance details, typically only including individual performance parameters in each graph or only including "typical" performance of combined parameters. KEMET’s capacitor parameter simulator, called K-SIM, solves this problem by combining multiple parameters into a single graph.

USB 3.2 Doubles Type-C Cable Speed, Adds To Naming Confusion
