he arms race in thin and lightweight, but still powerful consumer devices such as smartphones relies on high integrity of sensitive functions on a semiconductor component. For the semiconductor manufacturer to be able to guarantee that functionality, the test equipment has to be correspondingly powerful. The new test contactors with Kelvin pins ensure that these IC components can be tested reliably. With the YED274 Kelvin test contactor series,
Yamaichi Electronics is offering a wide spectrum of products. The test contactors, with Kelvin fine-pitch pins, are available as test sockets with fixed covers for manual component testing, but also in different variants adapted to the component handler for volume testing. The fine-pitch Kelvin pins are used for QFN, SOP and QFP components. To ensure the reliable contacting of component pad alloys, the pin plungers are made of hardened steel with a palladium or gold surface.

DA14681 deliver the industry’s first state-of-the-art power management and RF technology single-chip wearable solutions for advanced Internet of Things (IoT)
designs.The Dialog SmartBond™ DA14680 and DA14681 Wearable-on-Chips, now available from Mouser Electronics, are small, ultra-low power SoCs that deliver more than double the battery life of competitive application-enabled smartphone accessories, wearable devices or computer peripherals. The DA14680 and DA14681 consume around 1 mA for typical Bluetooth 4.1 and 4.2 events, and feature flexible processing power, flash memory options, and an advanced power management unit (PMU) that supports rechargeable batteries and can power a complete wearable system. The DA14680 includes 8 Mbits of on-chip flash memory, and offers unlimited execution space and over-the-air updates.

New LEMO T Series Watertight Connectors Push-pull latching connection technology; full 360 degree EMC Shielding; suits defence, security, test, medical applications
he LEMO T Series of watertight small diameter push-pull connectors is now available from Astute Electronics, the leading supplier of electronic components and value added services.
T The LEMO T Series
Connector is a new innovative design, rated to IP-68 to provide reliable performance in environments requiring ruggedized equipment and a watertight connection, including defence systems, security systems, test & measurement, medical and many others.
Based on the LEMO B Series, the T Series Connector uses the same original LEMO Push-Pull technology, but includes a special construction with an inner sleeve and extra sealing to enable IP68 water protection when mated. The T Series is available in 2- to 16 contact configurations and available with solder, PCB or crimp contacts. A further benefit of the T Series is a keying system to ensure correct connector alignment with multiple key options to avoid cross-mating of multiple connections.

A positive future for contract manufacturing: bringing business home
here was once a time when the design and manufacturing of electronic goods would all happen under one roof. The search for great efficiency and lower costs gradually changed this and the majority of electronics companies now outsource the manufacturing of their products to specialist factories with the capacity and workforce to make the process cost efficient.
T Basic economics around the cost of labour has also
driven large swathes of manufacturing overseas. The destinations of choice have been the Far East for consumer products and Eastern Europe for industrial products.
Yet this trend has started to reverse in recent years. Concerns about the cost of offshore production, a desire for better quality, shorter lead times and more flexibility are just some of the principal motives that have prompted many companies to move manufacturing back to the UK.
The UK has never completely lost the ability to make these products. It has preserved a solid, core, contract manufacturing sector, which has now started growing again as more companies reshore their manufacturing needs.
One beneficiary of this trend has been Trojan, which is based in Swansea. The company offers a comprehensive Contract Electronic Manufacturing (CEM) service, performing a wide range of services from PCB assembly (both through hole and surface mount), cable assemblies and electro-mechanical assemblies, through to complete product build. Through offering a complete procurement service, Trojan is able to source all elements required for a complete build.
Since it was formed nearly 15 years ago, Trojan has grown steadily but has specifically seen demand for its services rise in recent years as companies seek a reliable manufacturing partner close to home.
David O’Keeffe, operations director of Trojan, suggests there are numerous opportunities for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to bring manufacturing back to the UK to companies like Trojan.
