‘Nanometre Designs’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release
Power interconnects make better use of airflow from
Tyco Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Tyco Electronics has developed a range of power interconnects, comprising the Multi-Beam XLE and Minipak HDL connectors, to meet the demand for increased current density with modular power solutions.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release ITT unveils snap-on and ultrasonic PCMCIA I/O kits from
ITT Interconnect Solutions: "ITT Interconnect Solutions has developed two PCMCIA I/O kits - snap-on and ultrasonic - each available with a range of options and customisable features for maximum design flexibility.".
In March 2010, we covered the news from EMKA
- take a look at EMKA designs customised cabinet hardware
which says: "EMKA can produce custom configured hinges, handles and locks for rack/cabinet manufacturers or any end-user specification.".
Take a look also at the news release from Osram Opto Semiconductors, Osram offers LEDs for vehicle headlights,
as well as Marl to distribute Lumoluce LED solutions from Marl,
and Clock generator card features low jitter from Mistral Solutions.
