Easter Greetings

We have done EMC related measurements of broom-sticks that might be used for traveling to Blockula (Blåkulla in modern Swedish), over the Easter holidays.  The results indicates very low values of EM-related radiation!

Würth Elektronic – Press-Fit Technology

Today we had an presentation from Würth about Press-Fit. So what is Press-Fit ?

As a solder free fastening technology, press-fit technology frequently offers an attractive alternative to simple soldering technology. An effective electrical press-fit connection is created by pressing a pin into the plated through hole of a circuit board and – as part of cold welding process – generating a gas-tight electrical connection.

The trough-hole plating for a press-fit system is essentially made in the same way as are the holes for accepting components for THT soldering. Thus there are no changes required in the pcb manufacturing process. One outstanding characteristic of the press-fit system compared to the soldering system is that it produces not only an electrical connection but also an extraordinarily strong mechanical connection between the inserted components and the pcb.

På spåret till Elektronikmässan

ECH blev lite av en kändis efter medverkan i tv-programmet På Spåret.

Frågan kring kopplingsschemat visade sig vara svårare än väntat för de tävlande lagen i tv-programmet och vi ville därför testa kunskaperna hos elektronikmässans besökare. Många hade sett tv-programmet och kände igen frågan.
