As collaborative robots (cobots) are increasingly deployed alongside human operators, their system architectures continue to evolve toward higher integration, reduced size and greater modularity. These trends place growing demands on interconnect design, as connectors must deliver stable electrical performance while accommodating motion, vibration, assembly tolerance and long-term mechanical stress within confined spaces. Unlike conventional industrial robots, cobots typically employ lightweight ...

Interconnect company, Molex continues its acquisition trail with the announcement that it is to acquire Smiths Interconnect. The announcement comes less than a year after its acquisition of AirBorn, the connector and cable assembly company based in Texas. Smiths Interconnect specialises in electronic components, microwave, optical and RF products and subsystems for the aerospace and defence, medical, semiconductor test and ...

Marvell Technology is claiming a first with its 2nm 64Gbit/s bi-directional die-to-die interconnect for xPUs. “Delivering 32Gbit/s of simultaneous two-way connectivity over a single wire, the interface offers bandwidth density over 30Tbit/s/mm, more than three times the bandwidth density of UCIe at equivalent speeds,” it said. Adaptive power management automatically adjusts for bursty traffic, reducing “interface power consumption by up ...

Samtec has released a series of development and evaluation kits for military use. The various kits are designed to simplify and validate designs, from prototype to production stages, based on Samtec’s interconnect products for mil/aero applications using COTS and open standard products. The VITA 57.1 FPGA mezzanine card (FMC) evaluation kits include the FMC extender card and the FireFly FMC ...
