• What are the orientation options for connectors? 2023-06-11

  What are the orientation options for connectors? PCB orientation is the relative position of two PCBs to be connected by BTB connectors. Here are some of the common orientations of BTB connectors: In order to cater various PCB orientations (Parallel, Horizontal, Perpendicular), board-to-board connectors have been developed in straight, right angle and U-shaped designs. How do we stack PCBs? Amid the trends of miniaturization, transitioning to light weight and high speed, designers often face many constraints, both mechanically, and electrically. Greenconn offers various solutions to accommodate all stacking options. Vertical - Parallel, Mezzanine - Both connectors are in a vertical orientation. This allows a PCB to be stacked on top of another, minimizing the surface area as a result. Horizontal - 180 Degree, Coplanar, Edge-to-Edge - Both connectors are in a horizontal orientation. From the design standpoint, this keeps the mating centerline low profile to the PCBs. Perpendicular - Motherboard to Daughterboard - Connectors are perpendicular to one another. This is commonly seen in hard drive applications where many "Daughterboards" are stacked onto one motherboard, allowing the data storage space to be efficiently expanded. Here are some advantages of stacking PCBs: The design can be modularized into smaller PCBs and the PCBs can be connected using BTB connectors later on during assembly. This not only improves the design process but also allo

• Introduction of scsi 2022-08-01

  SCSI is a once popular type of connection used for storage and other devices in PCs. The term refers to the cables and ports used to connect some types of hard drives, optical drives, scanners, and other peripherals to your computer. The SCSI standard is no longer common in consumer hardware devices, but you will still find it used in some commercial and enterprise server environments. Newer versions include USB Attached SCSI (UAS) and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS). Most computer manufacturers have stopped using onboard SCSI entirely and have used more popular standards such as USB and FireWire to connect external devices to the computer. USB is faster, with a maximum incoming speed approaching 40 Gbps. Adaptec 2248700-R U320 PCI Express X1 1-lane SCSI host bus adapter Adaptec SCSI host adapter. PMC-Sierra, Inc. SCSI is based on an older interface called the Shugart Associates System Interface (SASI), which later evolved into the Small Computer System Interface, abbreviated SCSI and pronounced "scuzzy". How does SCSI work? A SCSI interface used inside a computer to connect different types of hardware devices directly to the motherboard or storage controller card. When used internally, the devices are connected via ribbon cables. External connections are also common, usually using cables through external ports on the storage controller card. Inside the controller is a memory chip that stores the SCSI BIOS, an integrated software used to control connected devices.

• Knowledge about plating of connectors 2022-05-09

  Electronic connectors are an emerging electronic product industry. Since their birth, they have developed rapidly and have become an important electronic product industry. The products include RF coaxial connectors, EPT European connectors, optical fiber connectors, DRAWER connectors, and local broadcasting. Connectors, household appliances connectors, PC connectors, network connectors, microelectronic device connectors, explosion-proof electrical connectors, etc. In short, wherever there are electronic products, there must be connectors. So what is the connector for? As the name suggests, it is used for electrical connection. Without connectors, the functions of electronic products cannot be exerted, and the flow of energy, electrons, and information cannot be circulated and transmitted. Our most common connectors are all kinds of plugs, sockets and various cables on the computer at home. Obviously, without these cables, all home appliances and computers cannot work, which shows the importance of connectors. Like the electroplating of microwave devices, connector electroplating requires a large amount of precious metal electroplating solution. Therefore, saving precious metal resources is also an important issue faced by connector electroplating. The reason for putting this content in this chapter is that pulse electroplating is first and foremost used in precious metal electroplating, and connector electroplating happens to be an area where precious metal electroplating is more widely used. In the electroplating of connectors, due to the high electrical performance requirements of the contact pair, the gold plating process occupies an obvious important position in the electroplating of the connectors. At present, except for some strip connectors that use the selective gold plati
