TE adopts lower-CO2 plating for connector contacts

TEconnectivity Econidure plating CO2 plating connector contacts

TE Connectivity is moving to nickel-phosphorus coatings to reduce the CO2 footprint of its connector contact plating processes. Branding the plating stack Econidur, “according to TE internal analysis and calculations, in alignment with ISO standard 14067/14040/44, CO2 emissions decrease over 44% compared to palladium nickel plating, depending on layer thicknesses, performance level and connector type”, said the company. Is it ...

Plug-in module connector design rises to VPX challenges

TE Connectivity’s MultiGig HD connector has been selected by the VITA Standards Organization as the next-generation VPX plug-in module connector. Senior project manager, Mark Walmsley, revealed the VITA 100.30 connector plug-in module at Embedded Tech Trends. The modules features powerblades and stripline (four layer) wafers to optimise isolation. The wafers are thicker than those used for VPX and have key ...

The VITA 100 standard will build on VPX’s legacy but “leapfrog” to meet increased processing and power demands. Providing a progress update, VITA 100 chair Steve Devore (pictured), described it is a continuation of VPX, supporting evolving power and data processing demands. One requirement is to double the density of today’s VPX connectors while maintaining the maximum current connector length. ...

There are design challenges for antennas, PCB connectors and components, advise Ifan Yousaf and David Currie, of TE. The environment of smart devices presents design challenges. Electronic devices are increasingly being connected to the world through one or more wireless technologies and are commonly referred to as smart devices. By 2025, it is estimated that more than 75 billion devices ...

Adhesive flexible PCB antennas for 5G New Radio, LTE and cellular IoT

TEconnect ant-5gw-fpc-lh antenna

Linx Technologies is aiming at sub-6GHz 5G New Radio, LTE, LTE-M and NB-IoT with a range of flexible stick-on antennas. Measuring 120 x 20mm, “ANT-5GW-FPC antennas provide a ground plane-independent dipole,” according to the company, which is now part of TE Connectivity. “The flexibility and adhesive backing make the series easier to mount in RF-transparent – for example plastic – ...
