COM-HPC Client Ecosystem: High performance, ready for application
congatec's COM-HPC Client ecosystem, featuring the conga-aCOM/mRPL, delivers exceptional performance for demanding embedded applications. This ecosystem is designed to accelerate time-to-market with application-ready solution platforms, providing scalable performance to meet evolving application needs. The ecosystem also enhances design flexibility with a wide range of carrier board options and increases reliability for mission-critical applications.
Passively cooled edge server for harsh environments
The rugged edge server design based on the conga-HPC/sILH COM-HPC Server module and the conga-HPC/uATX-Server application carrier board is engineered for reliable operation in challenging environments where fanless, fully sealed systems are essential. The design ensures robust performance in extreme temperatures and conditions, increases system reliability through passive cooling, minimizes maintenance, and maximizes uptime with its fanless operation. This makes it ideal for industrial automation, outdoor installations, and critical infrastructure.
SMARC Ecosystem: Compact and powerful
congatec's SMARC ecosystem, including the new conga-SMX95 modules, provides compact, energy-efficient modules for applications where optimized size and power consumption are critical. With a small form factor for space-constrained applications, low power consumption for energy efficiency, and scalable options to fit various performance needs, they are ideal for mobile systems, IoT devices, and embedded vision.
COM Express Ecosystem: Performance and legacy support
congatec's COM Express Type 6 ecosystem, featuring the new conga-TC750 modules, delivers high performance for demanding applications. Adherence to the industry-standard COM Express form factor ensures compatibility with existing designs, while long-term availability supports efficient product lifecycle management. These attributes make the modules well-suited for industrial control, medical imaging, and communication systems.

Global PCB Connections: Let the Spec Fit the Board, Not Just the Brand
07/17/2025 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsIf you’ve ever seen an excellent PCB quote delayed, or worse, go cold because of a single line on the fab print, you’re not alone. Often, that line reads something like, “Use 370HR only,” or “IT-180A required.” These and other brand-name materials are proven performers, but unless your design needs that specific resin system (say, for RF performance, thermal reliability, or stringent CAF resistance), you may inadvertently be holding your job hostage.
Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.

Global PCB Connections: Embedded Components—The Future of High-performance PCB Design
06/19/2025 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsA promising advancement in this space is the integration of embedded components directly within the PCB substrate. Embedded components—such as resistors, capacitors, and even semiconductors—can be placed within the internal layers of the PCB rather than mounted on the surface. This enables designers to maximize available real estate and improve performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
