		<description><![CDATA[As system designers browse through connector catalogs and interconnect websites for mezzanine solutions, we tend to expect their considerations to be focused on signal density, high-speed signaling capabilities, circuit counts and stack heights. However, a key factor that may be overlooked is the width of a mezzanine solution and the ability for air flow to [...]]]></description>

Yes, I have been involved with connectors, in one way or the other, since 1974. I have seen many changes, but the most [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just read an article about Wireless Internet Service Providers(WISPs) in the US and the "Wispapalooza" conference in Las Vegas. The WISPs are obviously establishing wireless links with CPEs in areas where the incumbent DSL suppliers deliver no, bad, or expensive Internet bandwidth to the subscriber. And these WISPs seem to be quite successful:  Over the last 12 months they have added 800,000 customers in North America alone.

The story above and my always article-hungry webmaster convinced me to talk about my latest experience with regard to Internet accessibility when we decided to ride the “Pride of Africa” train over 3500 miles from Cape Town South Africa to Dar Es Salaam Tanzania.

Well equipped with a notebook, digital still cameras and a newly bought HDTV camcorder, we started our journey, telling our relatives that this year (last year we were touring the South Sea) they will not get any pictures and we just will try to fill in the travel log which is a shared, but private, blog. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may have already read about my 50:50:50 rule when it comes to the choice using tin plated surfaces versus gold plated surfaces in connectors. This rule says tin is the more economical solution if you have less than 50 contacts (mating forces), if you can live with 50 mating cycles (contact normal forces), and if you do not expect less than 50 milliohms contact resistance over life time. The higher contact normal forces for tin plated surfaces (>2 Newton end of life) result in higher mating forces which limit the amount of contacts in a given connector and the un-noble tin does have a higher contact resistance, compared to gold or nickel palladium.]]></description>
