Semi-rigid test probes
Semi-rigid test probes, operating up to 6Ghz, are designed for testing microwave circuits. The semi-rigid coax and SMA female connectors come in multiple cable diameters. Probe versions include straight-cut probe ends for those who would like to customize the dimensions of the center conductor and dielectric dimensions, as well as pre-stripped probe ends that are ready for immediate use.

High output electronic cooling fan
A high output version of the MIL-XTM Tubeaxial Fan is optimized for heat-sink and heat-exchanger electronic cooling applications. It has a capacity of 450cfm at 1" of water gage (iwg) or 350cfm at 2iwg. Multiple fans can be stacked to meet high-flow requirements and can be used to cool electronic devices and equipment racks in mission- and personnel-critical airborne, land-based, and sea-borne applications.

Data recorder
The Slice Nano IEPE data recorder has a footprint of 26mm x 46mm and withstands impacts up to 500g. It meets MIL-STD-810-E and has applications including in-flight, hard landing, acoustics, shock, strain, and vibration testing. The data recorder can be mounted directly on wings, drive shafts, rotors, and landing gear, eliminating complicated cable runs that can affect data fidelity. It handles applications where onboard power access is not available as it can be powered using standard battery packs.

Special cable configurations
The online Cable Creator tool allows users to design and customize special cable configurations and purchase the designs without waiting for a quote from the company’s sales team. The program builds a unique product page, providing the customer with a part number, pricing, a build-of-materials datasheet, and the ability to enter the desired length of the assembly. The user can then add special designs to the online shopping cart and purchase assemblies.
Pasternack
Single board computer
The CPCI Serial single board computer (SBC) with 12-core Freescale QorlQ processor has 10GB Ethernet and PCle 3.0 with three separated DRAM channels. It has 12 cores and up to 1.8GHz but can be equipped with other 4- or 8-core CPUs of the T4x family. The computer has three separate banks in the DDR3 RAM, and safety functions are implemented using ECC for the RAM storage, a board management controller, and a watchdog for the operating system. While the G52A is prepared for conformal coating and can be equipped with a heat sink as well as embedded into a conductive cooling frame, all components are soldered and offer shock and vibration resistance.
Mem Mikro Elektronik GmbH
Single board computer system
Xilinx’s SDSoC development environment is integrated on to its EMC²-Z7030 single board computer (SBC). The EMC² range SBCs feature Xilinx Zynq system on a chip (SoC) with integrated dual-core ARM-A9 CPUs coupled to 1GB of DDR3 memory, four lanes of PCI-Express, and re-programmable logic with Kintex-7 FPGA technology.
The system offers a C/C++ complier and runs processing intensive algorithms on the Zynq Z7030 programmable logic (PL). It offers a familiar software development environment using an Eclipse-based GUI and debugging from the CPUs. It also features profiling, estimation, and hardware/software event traces to help developers optimize the system performance while generating the full Zynq SoC system with hardware accelerated IPs, data motion network, and software.
