Allegro MicroSystems application note discussing the effectiveness of using in-pad vias and other additional printed circuit board (PCB) layout techniques to improve heat dissipation for current sensors with integrated conductors.

Learn how to use the Seeeduino XIAO Expansion Board with an ultrasonic range sensor and add a sound warning. Step-by-step guide with Visuino code.

In this blog we will explore the general design that can be used to create a wireless two player game, like Run Along, Jump & Jump. We will start with the basic game design, focusing on how the core game functionality works in both single player and two player versions.

3M IDC connectors make wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connections faster, more secure, more compact, and less error-prone while reducing wire material usage.

Allegro Microsystems application note discussing integrated current sensor package constructions (MA, MC, LA, LZ, EZ and LH) and how they affect thermal metrics and more.

Creating a low-cost prosthetic arm is challenging, but making one that is also easy to calibrate and accurate is even tougher.

Designers can keep electronic equipment safe by using sealed DC power barrel jacks that deliver IP68 protection even when unmated.

KNIPEX Tools electrostatic discharge (ESD) stainless-steel tweezers are a high-quality tool designed to handle the most delicate electronic work.

This whitepaper explains how USB4 and USB Power Delivery Extended Power Range advance USB Type C by enabling up to 40 Gbps data transfer, protocol tunneling, and power delivery up to 240 W while maintaining backward compatibility.

Uncrewed systems operate where failure is not an option. Harwin Connectors are built to withstand high-G manoeuvres in flight, sustained vibration in ground vehicles, and pressure-intensive subsea deployment.
