The i7090 from Keysight integrates in-circuit flash programming, LED and boundary-scan test methods within a single platform for high-volume PCBA lines. Up to 20 parallel test cores permit simultaneous testing of multiple boards, and the 600mm footprint is suited for dense factory layouts. Modular expansion supports shifts in production scale without major line changes.

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.
