SETTING THE BENCHMARK

Benchmark offers microelectronics assembly with placement tolerances of 1-2 microns semi-automated and 7 microns automated. So what the heck does that mean? How big (or small) is a micron, really?

Since 40-50 micron objects are the smallest things visible to the naked human eye, these extremely...

Space captures the imagination, offering new frontiers to explore and endless technological challenges to overcome. Electronics that operate in space are often cutting-edge but also need to be tough; they contend with radiation, extreme temperatures and the stress of moving from the ground...

Today’s electronics-- whether it be a laptop or a missile control system-- are all partitioned in similar ways. Functions like power, RF signal processing, digital processing, etc. are often partitioned on separate boards that group the components required for that function. The way in which...

Principal Industrial Designer Daniel Dion explains how Benchmark's award-winning industrial design team develops products users love.

Industrial design combines human-centered design principles with engineering to create technology products that fit into a user's life or work process. Despite the...

5G networks are not new networks; they are add-ons of new advanced technologies to the current 4G LTE-A (Gigabit LTE) networks. For companies contemplating the impact 5G might have on their business, understanding exactly what 5G is (and what it isn’t) is essential. In this video blog, Benchmark's...

5G is the next phase in the evolution of global communication networks. When the technology is fully realized and implemented on a massive scale, we’ll see a world connected like never before. 

Advances in Technology for Millimeter Wave Antennas

With the advancement of modern manufacturing and fabrication technology, millimeter wave (mmWave) processes are becoming more commercially viable. Millimeter wave antenna arrays are emerging as a promising candidate for 5G systems. In addition,...

As the aerospace & defense market has slowed down the entry of new aerospace vehicle development, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have had to face the overwhelming task of trying to pack more technology into existing vehicles, under the constraints of the legacy systems.

Miniaturization: Why Size Plays a Major Role in Product Design and How We Achieve It

The evolution of the electronic and computing industry has two aspects: size, weight and computing power (speed/frequency). Seventy years ago the first computer was built occupying an area of 1800 sq. ft. and...
