    The Spark Gap - Episode 40

    Hosts Carl and Corey discuss the design gotchas of electronic connectors, covering power inputs like barrel jacks and screw terminals, as well as signal interfaces including ribbon cables and board-to-board connectors. They highlight specific risks such as contact resistance, voltage breakdown in high-density connectors, and the importance of pin sequencing for power rails. The conversation also covers practical PCB layout advice, including the use of 3D models to verify mechanical fit and the thermal limitations of surface-mount components during reflow.

    185: Connectors, Engineering Leadership, and Growth Strategies with HARTING Americas' Casey Spitz and Cory Jenkins

    Casey Spitz, Vice President of Development and Innovation, and Cory Jenkins, Senior Director of Business Development, both from HARTING Americas, discuss the critical role of industrial connectors in modern manufacturing. They explain how 'connectorization' enables modular, plug-and-play systems, allowing for faster assembly and reduced risk compared to hardwiring. The guests highlight the industry shift toward miniaturization, specifically Single Pair Ethernet, and the need to integrate connectivity early in the design process to handle higher power densities and robust environments. They also share leadership insights on balancing rapid growth with process creation, emphasizing the importance of localization, customer-centric co-creation, and hiring for soft skills to foster innovation.

    45: Homage to Dieter

    Tom Gerhardt and Dan Provost of Studio Neat announce the release of two new Qi-compatible products, the Material Dock Qi and the Material Dock Multi, designed to replace Apple's AirPower. They explain their decision to use certified U-Wei modules to ensure safety and reliability, avoiding the risks of sourcing uncertified electronics. The hosts discuss extensive testing that revealed marketing claims about fast charging speeds are largely exaggerated, with practical differences being negligible for overnight or desk charging. They also detail the industrial design choices, including 100% Merino wool felt and a ventilation pattern paying homage to Dieter Rams' Braun designs.
