I-PEX Inc. will exhibit at DesignCon 2025, which will be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California, USA from January 29 (Wed.) to 30 (Thu.), 2025.
"Empty-closure", a common occurrence in manufacturing and assembly, is the operation of an actuator without inserting an FPC into the connector. It can cause connector damage or incomplete mating when the FPC is subsequently inserted.
This white paper introduces the "empty-closure" issue by using I-PEX's MINIFLEX® series as an example, and how it is addressed, as well as the design know-how gained through analysis and calculation to ensure that the connector will function even if an empty closure occurs.
I-PEX has released CABLINE®-CA IIP PLUS, which is compatible with both twinax and micro-coaxial cables, adding to its existing CABLINE® series of connectors. CABLINE®-CA IIP PLUS is optimized for high-speed 64 Gbps/lane PAM4 internal connections, featuring full 360° EMC shielding for noise immunity.
