Press-on Connector Covers


I had a few yet to be used connector cover graphics so I added a new page to hold them.
The new page is called Press-on Connector Covers. The original page covered all styles of Protective Dust Covers. Both pages are part of the section on How to design Equipment Chassis.
This will be one of those page that will never see many page views. Although the page does not have a lot of text, the text it does have is a copy of the original page.

Wire size and Resistance

I started a new page yesterday in regards to Wire Gauge vs Resistance.
As I get started on it the page my offer a faster alternative to deciphering the larger Copper Wire Gauge table.

Other then that I don't have much to say. I'll keep working on it......

Via Stubs


Started a new page to cover Via Stubs in Printed Circuit Boards [PCB]. The page is linked off the definition of Via Stub, as a read more kind of thing.

A Via stub is a via that runs past the layer a trace is on. For example a trace on the layer 3 needs to connect to a trace on layer five but the via runs from the top layer to the bottom layer, the stub is the portion of the via that extends past layer 5 running to the bottom layer. A via stub is the same thing as a transmission line stub.

A related page covers How to Terminate a Trace.

Anyway, it's a start to cover the topic, I'll keep working on it for another few hours.
