We are demonstrating with our partner TE Connectivity & Abracon what we are able to support on top of regular semiconductor for embedded systems (mainly processors & FPGAs) :

Switches

Connector (USB, Ethernet w/wo Magnetics, MINI HDMI)

Power modules

Memory headers (DIMM, SDCARD)

Heater & FAN

Battery holder

 

Our system solution approach will help our customers to save time and to ensure best fit regarding

  • time to market
  • availability & price
  • technical requirement
  • longevity (commercial)

 

 

Thanks to our Design for Resilience program we are also capable to provide cross references at R&D stage to quickly multisource your bill of material (BOM). This ensure your hardware is more “resilient” against supply chain disruption that may happen again.

A dedicated experienced Interconnect and Electromechanical team is able to assist, support across the entire journey.

 

System Solution Expertise 

Future Electronics Field application engineers are able to support you on all aspect of your embedded system, finetune choices, multisource them and ensure everything works well together.

We have an extended partnership with most of the key component suppliers (semiconductor, passive, interconnect / electromechanical, modules).
