Proactive Components, Inc. is back once again with yet another series of components described in detail. Read on to know more about the components you are perhaps using every day in your manufacturing.

Part number XC3S50-4VQG100C is a Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured by Xilinx. The company is the market leader in the manufacture of all programmable ICs and in fact, has been the pioneer-inventor of the FPGA concept.

Part number XC3S50-4VQG100C belongs to the company’s popular SPARTAN3 family of FPGAs, which cater to low power, cost sensitive applications. All components from this family are commonly used in consumer electronics applications.

Specifically part number XC3S50-4VQG100C has 1728 logic elements with 192 logic array blocks. There are 50,000 logic gates and 63 I/Os, while the memory specification is 73728 RAM bits. This component operates across a voltage supply range of 1.14V-1.26V and a temperature range of 0-85°C. Part number XC3S50-4VQG100C is used for applications such as set top boxes, displays, wireless routers, etc.

Part number DX-50-CV is a D-Sub backshell connector manufactured by Hirose Connectors. Hirose’s connector range is vast and varied and includes different types of connectors such as modular connectors, PCB connectors, I/O connectors and also a variety of cables and cable assemblies.

Part number DX-50-CV has 50 contact position and the connection is secured via a cable one touch lock. This component comes under the category of high density I/O connectors and belongs to the company’s DX range. All connectors in this range are designed for high density applications with a 0.05” (1.27mm) contact pitch, which conserves valuable board space.

For part number DX-50-CV, the shell material is die-cast zinc alloy. The contact material is copper alloy with selective gold plating finish. This component is typically used in applications such as office and home automation products, computers and in various communication applications.

Proactive Components, Inc. stocks practically the entire range of connectors from Hirose. Another Hirose connector in our inventory is part number DM3C-SF. This is a memory card connector with a microSD card type. The component has a contact pitch of 1.1mm, with 8 contact positions and the orientation is right angled. The contact material is copper alloy, while the housing material is liquid crystal polymer. The termination style for this RoHS compliant component is via soldering.
