06 February, 2013Harwin’s RoHS-compliant brass hexagonal threaded spacers are able to perform under severe conditions such as high mechanical load.
Photoetch flexible printed circuit
27 January, 2012A flexible PCB 1200 mm long has been formed into an aerial.
PCB testing
01 March, 2006By combining electronic and mechanical testing through mounting the board under test in a cantilevered or two-support beam position and subjecting it to an oscillating force, important reliability information can be gained and incipient failure modes; eg, track breakage, SMD and pin joint failures revealed.

Two-chip Bluetooth system
25 May, 2004Xemics' two-chip Bluetooth solution, using the recent Skyworks' 1.2 compatible radio, sees overall PCB surface required shrink to less than 49 mm2. This means that the two-chip solution is even smaller than the 'single chip solutions' available.
