ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX NewProducts NewProducts Clamshell Spring Pin QFN Socket Voltage Controlled Oscillator Ironwood Electronics (Eagan, MN) has introduced a new QFN socket addressing high performance requirements for testing QFN devices - CBT-QFN-7039. The contactor is a stamped spring pin with 17 gram actuation force per ball and cycle life of 50,000 insertions. The socket uses a compression wave spring to apply constant downward pressure enabling the device to be interconnected to the target PCB. The socket can be used for hand test and quick device screening applications with the most stringent requirements. Features include: A contactor self-inductance of 0.75 nH. An insertion loss of <1 dB at 31.7 GHz. A current capacity of 1.5 A at a 20°C temperature rise. A socket temperature range from -55° to +180°C. An alignment guide for device to pin alignment. www.ironwoodelectronics.com Crystek (Fort Myers, FL) has announced the CVCO55CC-1690-1690 VCO (voltage controlled oscillator), which operates at 1690 MHz with a control voltage range of 0.3 ~ 4.7 V. The VCO features a typical phase noise of -120 dBc/ Hz at 10 KHz offset. Output power is typically +2.5 dBm. The CVCO55CC-1690-1690 is suitable for use in applications such as digital radio equipment, fixed wireless access, satellite communications systems, and base stations. Features include: An input voltage of 5 V. A maximum current consumption of 25 mA. A minimized pulling and pushing of 1.0 MHz and 0.5 MHz/V, respectively. A second harmonic suppression of -15 dBc typical. www.crystek.com Wire-to-Board Connectors CLAMPS. FIXTURING ACCESSORIES. MACHINE TOOL COMPONENTS.
