15-Minute Product QuikCasts

The QuikCast consists of a brief audio and slide show presentation and offers more in-depth technical data than you can get from a press release.

Overview

• Fast! The QuikCast is a brief 15-minute presentation that includes technical information on a new interconnect, passive, or electromechanical product.
• Easy! All you need is a computer with speakers to listen to the QuikCast. You can also download the presentation slides from the presentation console while you're watching the demonstration.
• Free! Simply fill in the registration information and begin watching the QuikCast from the comfort of you own desk.

Phoenix Contact PLUSCON Circular Connector

This presentation is a brief, but detailed introduction to an exciting new product offering from Phoenix Contact. PLUSCON circular connectors offers a range of design sizes including the M5, M8 and M12 for sensor/actuator connections; the M16, M17, M23 and M27 predominantly for the transmission of analog and digital signals, and the M40 and M58 that are used exclusively for the transmission of electrical power up to 150A at 630V per contact.

Phoenix Contact COMBICON QC 1.5

This presentation is a brief, but detailed introduction to an exciting new product offering from Phoenix Contact. The QC (Quick Connect) 1.5 represents the next generation in I/O and low power terminations to the PCB. This new insulation displacement plug provides greater flexibility in wire selections compared to other IDC products currently available in the market. Fast termination of discrete, stranded wires provides a labor saving advantage during installation. A common screwdriver is all that is required to make a positive gas-tight connection.

3M MetPak™ High Speed Hard Metric Press-Fit B19 Connector

This presentation demonstrates how to significantly improve the performance of legacy 2mm hard metric backplanes (cPCI, VME64x, VITA31) up to 5Gb/s without expensive backplane redesign. You will be introduced to 3M MetPak High Speed Hard Metric (or HSHM) connectors that provide a cost-effective solution for reaching higher speed performance. This allows equipment vendors to leverage their current PCB designs and extend their product offering by taking advantage of new faster bus architectures.

KEMET X and Y Capacitors

The designer has numerous options when selecting X and Y capacitors. This presentation discusses the different technologies and helps one determine which makes sense depending on the specific requirements for cost and performance.

KEMET Electrolytic Capacitors for Power Applications

Power applications place specific demands for life, ESR and ripple current on the electrolytic capacitors. These factors are interrelated and dependent on the capacitor design and construction. The different factors are discussed to help the designer become more aware of what to look for when specifying power electrolytic capacitors.

KEMET Flex Mitigation Portfolio

The dominating cause for failures in MLCCs is “flex cracks” leading to circuit failures. These failures may appear as nonfunctional circuits in the more benign cases, but as dead-shorts in catastrophic cases. KEMET has been working with our customers in order to alleviate this failure, and by developing designs to improve the capacitor’s capability of surviving this failure. There are now three products being offered by KEMET to address this failure from solutions to eliminate the short-circuit capability, to improving the capability of the capacitors to handle the forces created with this failure. Learn more about KEMET’s flex mitigation portfolio in TTI’s QuikCast – information that’s fast, easy, and free.

KEMET FDO Tantalum/Polymer Capacitors

Any time design engineers talk about low inductance capacitors, it is usually assumed that the only type of low inductance capacitors is MLCC, but this is no longer the case. By changing the package configuration of the SMD conductive-polymer capacitor, inductances lowered by 75% are available today and inductances approaching 100pH will soon be available. Because this component is by its physical structure a lossy component, achieving impedances below 5 milliohms extends through a significant frequency range unlike the very low sharp and narrow impedance responses of the ceramic capacitors. Tune in to TTI’s QuikCast with John Prymak of KEMET to learn more about FDO capacitors.

Molex iPass

Listen in as Mike Henderson discusses the Molex iPass Interconnect System. iPass is the trade name for a versatile high-speed, high-bandwidth connector system. Its capabilities have enabled it to be adopted by several industry standards already, but it is the intent of Molex to expand its use into other applications.

Phoenix Contact BC Housing

This presentation is a brief, but detailed introduction to an exciting new product offering from Phoenix Contact. Join Phoenix Contact's Product Marketing Specialist, Joel Boone, as he discusses the BC Housing family of products. The BC Housing family is uniquely designed to meet growing needs and obvious trends primarily in the building automation control market, but also fulfills similar requirements in the general industrial control market.

FCI Power Solutions Products

In this presentation Scott Kleinle, FCI's Global Power Product Solutions Manager, will briefly discuss total end-to-end power solutions that include power connectors as well as power distribution solutions that can easily accommodate many different configurations and end applications. This TTI/FCI QuikCast will also focus on power supply applications, backplane-to-card interfaces, as well as power cable solutions.
