For engineers working on high-power systems like motor drives, EV powertrains, or switching power supplies, accurate current measurement without breaking the circuit is a core requirement. Teledyne LeCroy introduced the CP1000 current probe at APEC 2026 to address that requirement. The CP1000 supports up to 1000 A rms continuous and peak currents up to 1400 […]
Editorial Webinar April 16: Beyond bandwidth: how engineers should really choose an oscilloscope
Bandwidth is usually the first number engineers look at when evaluating an oscilloscope. It shouldn’t be the last. Today’s designs are more complex than ever. Signal frequencies are climbing, package sizes are shrinking, and the range of bus types and standards that engineers need to support continues to expand. A scope that checks the bandwidth […]
ATE contactors combine kelvin configuration with thermal pin conditioning
Ironwood Electronics has introduced the Raptor line of ATE test contactors, built around a replaceable cartridge format. The cartridges use Ironwood’s proprietary lamination technology and are designed to reduce cost of test by allowing cartridge swaps without removing the frame, minimizing downtime between test runs. Two contact variants are available: PicoRaptor, using rigid pins with […]
