Boards/Backplanes
BGA pitch 0,200 mm
Somacis plant in Castelfidardo is very close to finish the tests that will break another barrier. The Italian headquarters are producing a test board that will use a BGA with a pitch of 0,2 mm. Something unbelievable till few years ago is very close to become a new starting point to further challenges. Key characteristics are very demanding for PCB, with BGA Pad diameter of 100 µm and tracks and gaps of 30 µm.

AMCs as an add-on for MicroTCA systems
Every interface and every signal transfer carries within it a potential source of error – not only on a technological level, but also in terms of interpersonal communication. This explains the desire of many developers and system integrators: To have to explain everything just once and then obtain as much as possible from just one supplier and from a single source. ELMA has therefore extended its product range to include “Integrated Productsâ...
High-density 48-port UTP patch panel from Tyco

PC/104 and PC/104-Plus connectors from In2Connect
At the beginning of the 90s the demand for electronic goods such as PCs was huge in all sectors. The performance of the embedded microcomputer application grew rapidly, as did, unfortunately, the problem of creating a low-cost connection between two motherboards. Industry had to find a way to connect at least two motherboards together without needing to use a card cage or a backplane. In addition, the components had also to be easily separated or...
