Part number AT40K40AL-1BQU is a Field Programmable Gate Array FPGA manufactured by Atmel Corporation. Besides, FPGAs, Atmel manufactures a wide variety of electronic components such as microcontrollers, touch solutions, memory modules and products for the wireless/RF market.

FPGAs have revolutionized electronics by offering flexibility to the end user to program circuits in a custom manner. FPGAs have made the earlier ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) architecture almost completely obsolete. A typical FPGA architecture comprises programmable logic blocks, which contain the logic for the FPGA,  programmable I/Os that bring in input signals and facilitate output and programmable interconnects that connect the crucial logic blocks together to speed up the system.

Specifically part number AT40K40AL-1BQU has 2304 logic blocks and 114I/Os. It operates in a temperature range between -40 and +85 degrees Centigrade, operating across a maximum voltage of 3.3V.

Part number MS3116F8-4S is a connector manufactured by Amphenol Corporation, the leading connector manufacturing company in the world. The company is one of the largest suppliers of connectors and interconnect solutions for military manufacturers too. In fact, part number MS3116F8-4S is a circular connector manufactured to military specifications MIL-DTL-26482. It is a plug type connector with female orientation and has an in-line shell style with a size 8 shell. It offers 4 contact positions with a copper alloy contact material and gold contact plating. The mounting angle is straight and the mounting style is via wire.

Another closely related component from Amphenol is part number MS3116F10-6S. This component differs from the earlier one on certain crucial parameters. For instance, it exhibits 6 contact positions and has a shell size of 10. The contact material and contact plating are the same – copper alloy and gold respectively. The shell material in both part numbers MS3116F8-4S and MS3116F10-6S is aluminum alloy and the shell plating olive drab chromate over cadmium.
