One of the first practical lessons that electronic-circuit designer learn is to be aware of power-rail voltage drop, commonly called “IR drop,” which is the simple product of current and resistance in the printed-circuit board (PCB) track, wire, or larger cable. As currents increase to tens of amps and much higher, the IR-drop problem become more acute. Even a modest 50 mΩ of … [Read more...]

Low Compression Force Sarcon
Carteret, NJ — The compression characteristics of thermal gap fillers should be key considerations during a product’s early design phase. For applications that have delicate components or widely varying gap distances, Fujipoly® created a line of Low Compression Force gap filler pads. These TIMs help avoid overstressing the printed circuit board (PCB) and fragile solder joints … [Read more...]
