Able to support high-speed signal transmission applications (such as SATA or SAS), where flexible, expandable packaging for high-signal frequencies demands tight impedance control and 12Gbit/s data rates and above.
The ResilientFlex coiled assembly enables hot-swapping connections in removable-media applications, such as hot-swapping within storage drawers. The Molex assembly can be implemented in self-coiling flex circuit assembly or mechanically assisted coiling features that can extend electrical-connection lengths up to 558.80mm beyond the installed length.

Film temperature sensors flex for wearable products
Surface-mounted NTC temperature sensors, packaged on a flexible printed circuit (FPC) film, are approximately 100µm thick, and can be routed inside tight spaces.
Sensor technology allows gloved touch tracking
Single layer, multi-touch sensors are now supported by the TrueTouch Gen4X touchscreen controller family from Cypress. It leverages the company’s Single-Layer Independent Multi-touch (SLIM) sensor structures. The controller also adds support for the company’s tracking of multiple fingers in gloves.
Chip resistors make smart savings
ROHM Semiconductor has announced the development of low-ohmic chip resistors optimised for current detection applications in compact equipment such as smartphones and wearable devices.
