VShare product lifecycle management toolset supports DfM collaboration between PCB design and engineering by means of a centralized, scalable platform that offers secure access to important design information and DfM issues. The tool’s dashboard is said to capture all relevant DfM data in a centralized environment so that all users can work in real-time with the same, graphically-rich data set. Runs using standard Internet browsers within a secure, Web-based environment. Can import DfM results other Valor tools and attach graphical or text objects. Generates reports on critical steps, project status and details, and approvals. The platform starts at $25,000 for a company-wide package.

The open-source Interconnector design suite enables design and testing of chip-to-chip interconnections supporting signaling rates of up to 25Gbps. The software can be used to assemble a system, select ICs, channels and connectors; test components to analyze performance; and trigger the signal generator to create source and sink data.

The first version is offered to solicit user feedback to help shape the production version. Future versions will use S-parameter data from tests of actual materials and structures.

Circuitmedic’s Flextac Wire Dots, for wire tacking, consist of pre-cut shapes of a thin, flexible polymer film, membrane coated on one side with a high performance sensitive adhesive.

Flextac Wire Dots are said to apply instantly to a clean PCB surface with no curing time and no bonding to skin or clothes or difficult cleanup. They reportedly maintain their hold across a wide range of process and operating temperatures, and will hold securely after exposure to numerous chemicals. Will hold securely through a typical PCB hot water wash. Are RoHS/WEEE compliant.
