Lisle, IL--Molex Inc. (www.molex.com) is now offering the Micro-Fit
3.0, an interconnect system designed to meet the need for a high contact density
signal or power connector. The system incorporates many features previously
found on larger power connectors. These 3.00-mm (0.118-inch) pitch connectors
are for designs requiring compact connectors carrying up to 5A of current. Dual
row test plugs are also available for continuity and are rated for 10,000 mating
cycles.
Micro-Fit
products are available in circuit sizes 2 to 24 for single and dual row,
wire-to-board, and wire-to-wire applications. The product family has more than
500 part numbers, with many retention choices including fitting nails,
solderable clips, and offset terminal retention. Additionally, the product line
offers through-hole and SMT options. The latter are available in tape and reel
packaging for robotic placement on the PCB.
Almost every automaker has had to 'pick a side' when it comes to alternative fuel options and ways to divest from a reliance on gasoline. Fiat is looking to back compressed natural gas or liquid propane as an interim solution.
Designing and filling a new type of water bottle might take less engineering work, but the description will help kids understand how science, math, and engineering influence their lives even through things that seem mundane.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
