Low-force 15-pin connector pair from Planetary Systems Corporation delivers reliable
applications
The highly robust, low-force 15-pin connector pair (4000106C lower separation connector and 4000107C upper separation connector) from Planetary Systems Corporation has been designed to provide reliable ground-test applications. It can be sourced through Powell Electronics, the supplier of connectors and more for high-rel applications including defence, aerospace and industrial. Engineered to minimize in- stowed and deployed positions.
The connectors use spring pins to complete the electrical connection and feature a negative insertion weight and interface performance are critical. Additional features of the connector pair include an EMI gasket, superior resistance to vibration and debris as well as a keyed interface to help ensure correct alignment during mating. The included

Direct Insight, the UK-based technical systems integrator & value-added reseller of system-on-modules (SoMs) & other embedded systems, has noted that the ongoing pressure on memory supply, driven by exponential demand from AI infrastructure, is adversely impacting developers lead times and prices rise steeply, particularly for higher-performance, higher-bandwidth DDR5 RAM, “The rapid boom of AI technology has sent shockwaves through the semiconductor memory market,” notes David Pashley, co-founder & Managing Director at Direct Insight. “Skyrocketing demand has ramped up pressure on high performance DDR5, and that trickles down to DDR4 and so on, with prices and lead times spiralling as inventory is bought up. Then, crucially, production is shifted from commodity DRAM capacity to higher-margin HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), which is primarily used in high- performance computing (HPC) and AI hardware to help overcome the ‘memory wall’ bottleneck. This just makes things worse for the embedded/IoT world.”
Direct Insight has always focused on helping development teams to select and specify the optimal system-on-module hardware – allied to the right software and OS tools – for their embedded design projects, along with support and services, allowing customers to focus on applying their domain
MIKROE, the embedded solutions company that dramatically cuts development time by providing innovative hardware and software products based on proven standards, has announced new releases of its multi-architectural IDE NECTO Studio. Versions 7.5.0 and 7.5.1 adds compiler support for the Renesas A new Send to NECTO Chat action has been added to Project Explorer, enabling users to instantly share complete projects through NECTO Chat. Sharing a full project with a teammate or getting help now with a community is now built directly into NECTO Studio. A new ‘Upload Project’ action in ‘Project Explorer’ lets users upload the active project without manually creating archives or gathering project details. The dialogue is automatically populated with key project information, including Display Name, section, providing a central place to manage all uploaded projects. MIKROE has also continued to expand the multilanguage support for the NECTO studio with the

NeoCortec, manufacturer of the ultra-low-power bi-directional wireless mesh networking protocol stack NeoMesh, has released a new white its physical layer. The white paper explains in detail the combined advantages this approach can bring to the latest IoT deployments. NeoMesh provides a fully decentralized, self-healing, ultra- low-power mesh network capable of supporting thousands of nodes without complex installation or reliance on mains-powered immunity to noise and interference. Together they can create a wireless system with strong performance across a broader range of environments than either technology can address alone.
