vSure v. 9.0 design for manufacturing software contains enhanced DfM analysis. Verifies more than 700 DfM manufacturing requirements on a PCB design. Uses  “golden” Valor Parts Library (VPL) to ensure consistency between the checks performed at design and manufacturing.

Features include

  • Manufacturing Risk Assessment interface for reviewing DfM analysis results, focusing on the most critical. Potential design problems can be filtered and sorted by various categories including severity, board location, padstack types, package or part numbers and features.
  • Design Process Wizard to guide designers through DfM process following a best-practice sequence of steps from the import of design data to the viewing of analysis results. Executes all actions in accordance with industry-tested practices to ensure a comprehensive analysis while reducing the need for detailed manufacturing expertise.
  • Hierarchical and mathematical-based analysis-rules modeling that enables adjustment of analysis rules based on the technology, design center, processes or manufacturer’s capabilities. Reportedly eliminates need for complete re-definition of rule-sets when technologies change. In addition, management of multiple rule-sets is supported, thus reducing setup time and potential analysis errors.
  • Significantly simplified user interface.

Succeeds Valor Enterprise 3000 Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) software.

Angled BNC sockets for direct soldering have flat surfaces said to minimize torsion stresses on the PCB. Right-angled configuration is said to reduces lateral strain. Provides touch protection up to 1,000V (CAT III)/600V (CAT IV). Socket shield consists of two insulated semi-circular contacts, providing a switching function through the action of the plug being inserted. Contact socket of inner conductor is in Au-plated brass. Are compatible with conventional male BNC connectors For high-impedance insulated inputs for oscilloscopes.
