Mycronic introduces the MYPro A41 series, a new pair of placement systems developed for manufacturers assembling large printed circuit boards. The MYPro A41DX-17 and MYPro A41SX-17 extend the capabilities of the MYPro A40 platform with support for substrates up to 1000×609 mm and thicknesses up to 12.5 mm when used with the T1000 conveyor. The A41DX-17 offers a rated speed of 49 000 components per hour and includes electrical component verification as standard. An MX7 high-speed mount head supports heavy or oversized boards up to 10 kg. Setup and programming follow the same interface as earlier Mycronic models, allowing operators to adopt larger-format production with minimal retraining.
Molex has released the Quad-Row Shield Connector, a board-to-board interface that incorporates an integrated metal EMI shield within a four-row signal structure. Uses an internal shielding element to limit electromagnetic and RF interference without external shielding components. The design supports up to 80 signal pins with two power-pin sets. It retains the company’s quad-row layout while adding EMI control at 2.4–6GHz. The connector is intended for compact devices such as wearables, mobile systems, AR and VR units, and other consumer hardware requiring space-efficient board-to-board connections.
