The mating and un-mating force for connectors can vary dramatically depending on the connector type and pitch. The mating force is a function of the contact geometry, the contact spring rate, and the coefficient of friction. To better understand these forces at the connector level, we will examine what goes on at the individual contact level.

In the past decades, wireless communications has evolved from a circuit-switched voice call service to a ubiquitous communications network. Automotive is not just a service application any more, but has grown into a large vertical tenant of new applications and services in the automotive domain.

The national and international spectrum usage has continued to undergo a constant cadence of change. These changes necessitate the need to continue to evolve your awareness of valuable spectrum allocation information. As evidenced recently in the U.S.: Analog TV has mostly gone quiet and replaced with Digital TV; the LORAN-C navigation system has been shut down; new GPS satellites and frequencies provide coverage to Smartphones; and the National Wireless Initiative is looking to actively refarm and commercialize over 500 MHz of spectrum for commercial high-speed wireless services.
