PRODUCT SHOWCASE
RayMing does much more than manufacture PCBs – they assemble them too!
RayMing is a PCB Manufacturer
with ten year’s exerience. In addition,
RayMing can also provide one-stop
PCB manufacturing and PCB assembly.
Based in Shenzen, China, RayMing
has two types of PCB assembly services: full and partial turn-key services.
Full Turn-Key covers all aspects of
PCB fabrication and assembly, from
manufacture of PCBs, parts procurement, quality inspections through to
final PCB assembly.
In Partial Turn-Key, the customer
is responsible for supplying the PCBs
and a partial list of parts. RayMing will
order the remaining parts and perform
the assembly according to the customer’s requirements.
They can also kit the parts.
RayMing Technology uses a variety
of testing methodologies to ensure the
assembled boards are functional prior
to shipping, with ISO 9001 Quality
Certification.

400GbE OSFP I/O
connectors now at Mouser
Manufactured by Akytec, the ITP11
4-digit, 7-segment LED display is designed to be connected to any
pressure, temperature or other transmitter
with a 4-20mA output.
Measuring 24 x 48mm, it requires no
auxiliary power, being supplied directly
from the current loop.
The measured values are scalable and
there is also an optional square root function for flow applications.
Unlike displays from other manufacturers that require a rectangular hole cut in
the cabinet or enclosure to mount it, the
ITP11’s compact, standardised design
fits into a standard 22.5mm borehole for
signal lamps.
This provides quick and easy installation
and many displays can be accommodated
in a control cabinet door or on a panel.
The display is available in red or green
and it can be programmed to flash if the
level reaches an alarm state.
Other LED display models from Akytec
feature voltage, RTD, thermocouple and
Modbus inputs.
Mouser Electronics, Inc.,
is now stocking OSFP input/output
(I/O) connectors from TE Connectivity (TE).
TE’s next-generation octal small
form-factor pluggable (OSFP) connectors are designed for maximum
thermal and electrical performance in data center applications.
TE’s OSFP connectors deliver
400 Gigabit Ethernet (400GbE)
speeds over eight electrical lanes to
support equipment that operates at
up to 56 gigabits per second (Gbps)
PAM-4 and 28Gbps NRZ.
The SMT connectors offer a
60-position interface with a tworow design on a proven 0.6mm
contact pitch. Offering low PCB
cost and noise, the SMT connectors
are belly-to-belly capable with inground alignment.
OSFP cage assemblies feature a
flat rock PCB assembly and support 1×1 and 1×4 single-port and
multi-port applications.

The methods include:
1. Basic Quality Test – visual inspection.
2. X-ray Inspection – tests for BGAs,
QFN and bare PCBs.
3. AOI Checks – tests for solder
paste, 0201 components, missing components and polarity.
4. ICT (In-Circuit Test) / Functional
test – according to the customer’s testing procedures.

Microchip’s
development
kit for
Amazon AVS
Voice control is increasingly becoming
a preferred way for consumers to interact
with electronics.
Microchip Technology Inc., via its Microsemi Corporation subsidiary, has introduced
AcuEdge ZLK38AVS Development Kit for
Amazon Alexa Voice Service (AVS) to help
designers build devices with one-mic handsfree and two (180° linear) or three-mic (180°
linear or 360° triangular) far-field configurations qualified by Amazon.
It includes the ZL38063 audio processor
which connects directly to a Raspberry Pi
3B with plastics and mounting hardware to
simulate a typical, recommended end-application mic-speaker arrangement.
The field-programmable, field-upgradable
solution features signal processing algorithms proven to improve both local trigger
detection performance and cloud speech
recognition accuracy.
The multi-micro-phone configurations include Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation
to indicate where the primary voice sound
SC
source is located.
