    tank
    • Project: Control until for next generation panoramic vision system.

    • Challenge : Densely packed unit resulted in very little space between boards, requiring low profile components.

    • Solution: Small size latched SMT connector for 90 degree orientation, with mating cable connector.

    radar system
    • Project: Active electronically scanned array radar

    • Challenge : Competitor was originally designed-in but customer sought more stable supply chain and better lead-times.

    • Solution: Datamate Mix-Tek SMT power and signal connectors up to 20A reduced the stack height while delivering good power performance.
