Intertek Opens New, Larger Facility in California Late last year Intertek opened a new testing and certification lab in Lake Forest, CA replacing its lab of 13 years in Laguna Niguel. The new, larger 29,000 square foot facility will increase capacity to meet the rising demand for testing and certification services in the western U.S. The new facility houses Intertek’s new … [Read more...]
Elite Completes NVLAP Assessment and Marks 20 Years of Quality System Accre
Late last year IL-based Elite successfully completed a four-day ISO 17025 quality system assessment by the accrediting body NVLAP. The assessment evaluated various aspects of Elite’s quality management system including document control, internal audits, corrective actions, and other elements of its quality system and manual. Included were this lab’s test methods re MIL-STD-461, … [Read more...]
Cable Assemblies Feature 100 dB of Shielding
A new line of high performance hand-formable cable assemblies has been introduced by Electronic Assembly Manufacturing (EAM). These cable assemblies provide typical insertion loss of 0.7 dB/ft. at 20 GHz for 0.141-inch diameter cables. VSWR is 1.3:1 at 18 GHz with capability past 20 GHz. These hand-formable cable assemblies minimize signal losses by means of a PTFE dielectric, … [Read more...]
Gaskets Boast EMI/ESD Protection and Rework Potential
The new 7810 series of 3M Electrically Conductive Acrylic Pads (eCAP) offers cohesive strength, shock absorption, and strong adhesion, which allows for rework and fast assembly without curing time. The eCAP 7810 series products are effective for EMI gasket shielding applications, ESD grounding, and reliable electrical contact with as little as 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm of contact. This … [Read more...]
SiP for Automotive Apps Delivers EMC and ESD Performance
A new system-in-package solution (SiP) for LIN automotive networking applications is now available from Atmel Corporation. The ATA6617 combines a proprietary LIN System Basis Chip (SBC) AT6624 that includes a LIN transceiver, voltage regulator, watchdog, and an AVR microcontroller (ATiny 167 with 16-k flash memory) in a single package. This new Sip is based on Atmel’s second … [Read more...]

Autostar 5.0 test management program is now available from Teseq in the first major release since the introduction of Autostar 4.0 with support for NSG 5500 (emissions testing) and NSG 5600 (complex voltage variations, magnetic field test, immunity testing). New features in this latest issue include a sequencer for building of complex test steps using an updated user interface, … [Read more...]
New EM Simulation Software Release Offers Faster Simulations
SONNET® Suites Professional™ Release 12 now offers dramatically faster simulations through parallel processing on multi-core CPUs. Each frequency port is computed in parallel within the same computers. The package’s matrix solve algorithms used on a typical workstation with dual quad-core processors can achieve a speed increase that is nearly seven-fold. Two new versions of the … [Read more...]
Compact Inductors Are Magnetically Shielded to Forestall Interference
The new LQH44P wire-wound inductor series from Murata Electronics North America has been crafted especially to increase DC-DC converter efficiency while conserving valuable board space with dimensions of only 4.0 mm x 4.0 mm x 1.65 mm. The device’s low DC inductance makes it well suited for use in the DC-DC converter circuits found in electrical appliances such as TVs, digital … [Read more...]
