Ready to meet your "new coworkers" artificial intelligence?

Last fall, Google Translate rolled out a new AI-powered translation engine that often produces results nearly indistinguishable from human translations. Jost Sechi, a German professional translator with 20 years of experience, has seen similar claims before—each time, he found them exaggerated. He believes the real challenge in translation lies beyond just language, and Google’s latest update, while impressive, doesn’t change that. Google Translate has been reimagined with AI, leading to more fluent and accurate translations. For non-professionals, the output is almost as good as a human. The New York Times even hailed it as “the great awakening of artificial intelligence.” This system can now translate between languages it hasn’t directly learned, like Korean to Japanese, if it knows English to both. At the recent Google Pixel 2 event, they introduced a wireless headset capable of real-time translation across 40 languages. Since IBM launched its first machine translation system in 1954, the dream of perfect machine translation has fascinated both developers and the public. Science fiction writers have long imagined universal translators, like Star Trek’s or the Babel fish from *The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy*. Human translation captures meaning in smooth, natural text—a goal for AI, seen as a step toward full artificial intelligence. As Google makes progress, some believe we’re close to achieving this holy grail. Yet, at the same time, human translators may be at risk. However, many translators aren’t worried. Some even welcome AI tools, using them to boost efficiency and productivity. They see these tools as early indicators of industry changes, much like canaries in coal mines. While not yet in danger, knowledge workers must adapt. Embracing AI isn’t just beneficial—it’s becoming essential. In various industries, AI is already making an impact. The Washington Post’s Heliograf generated hundreds of articles last year, with humans adding depth and analysis. In design, AI creates initial drafts that designers refine. In publishing, AI filters scripts, helping editors find promising content. These tools are powerful but still require human oversight. At Fennemore Craig, lawyers use ROSS Intelligence, an AI tool powered by IBM’s Watson. It can analyze case law quickly, reducing hours of work to minutes. While not perfect, it helps lawyers focus on more complex tasks. Many professionals see AI as a valuable assistant rather than a threat. For translators, AI has changed the game. Once translating 2,000 words a day, they now handle 8,000–10,000, thanks to post-editing machine translation (PEMT). Tools like Translated’s neural MT help streamline the process, especially for complex languages like German and Russian. Demand for post-editors is growing rapidly, with companies struggling to keep up. Charlotte Brassler, a Sydney-based translator, finds AI helpful, allowing her to take on more creative projects. However, she notes that AI is improving fast, especially in areas like marketing texts. For those who define themselves by their translation skills, this shift can be unsettling. Not everyone embraces AI. Some resist, clinging to the belief that creativity and intuition are uniquely human. But as AI becomes more capable, even in creative fields, the need to adapt becomes clear. Tools like ScriptBook and StoryFit are changing how films and scripts are evaluated, challenging traditional roles. While AI can’t yet replace human creativity entirely, it’s reshaping how people work. As Pedro Domingos, a computer science professor, points out, machines can be creative, but intuition remains a challenge. Humans still hold an edge in understanding context, culture, and nuance. History shows that technology can initially create jobs, but eventually disrupt them. Bank tellers, for example, saw their numbers grow after ATMs were introduced, only to decline later. This pattern warns us that AI’s impact may not always be positive. For now, professions like translation, law, and journalism remain safe. But the trend is clear: AI is advancing rapidly, and adapting to it is becoming necessary. We must embrace these tools, correct them when needed, and recognize that one day, they might even surpass us. The future of work is evolving—and we must evolve with it.

1.0mm Female Pin Header

1.0mm (.039") Female Headers

Overview

Whenever there is a need for fitting small-sized connectors in compact devices, the 1.0mm pitch female header, or sometimes referred to as header connector, is ideally suited for this application. Not only does this female header space-savvy, but it is also designed for vacuum pick and place that makes it suitable for high volume automated manufacturing.
Antenk offers these low profile, easy-install, SMT or THM miniature female connector plugs at high quality and affordable China-quoted price, for board-to-board connection, snuggly fitting the pins of a male header and acting as a receptacle.
Assembly and service is simple with either vertical (straight), elevated or at a right angle configuration/orientation, which can dissipate current of about 1.0 A or less in a tape and reel packaging. The filleted corners can also remove shadowing allowing optimization of LED output.
Also, the 1.0mm pitch female headers are made to work in Arduino boards, Arduino Pro and Arduino Mega with either single or double-row female headers, facilitating connections for programming and incorporation into other circuits. They have the perfect height for clearing the USB-B connector and great for stacking multiple shields.
Female header always called as [Header connector", Antenk provide widely range of header connector, from 2.54mm (.100″ inch) pitch to 1.0mm (.039″ inch) pitch. The number of pins (contacts) is from 2 to 40 pins per orw. There are three type: Straight (Dip Vertical), Right angle, SMT (surface mount).

Mount Type: Through-hole vs Surface Mount

At one side of this female header is a series of pins which can either be mounted and soldered directly onto the surface of the PCB (SMT) or placed into drilled holes on the PCB (THM).

Through-Hole (Poke-In)
Best used for high-reliability products that require stronger connections between layers.
Aerospace and military products are most likely to require this type of mounting as these products experience extreme accelerations, collisions, or high temperatures.
Useful in test and prototyping applications that sometimes require manual adjustments and replacements.
1.0mm vertical single row female header, 1.0mm vertical dual row female header, 1.0mm Elevated single row female header, 1.0mm Elevated dual row female Header, 1.0mm right-angle single row female header and 1.0mm right-angle dual row female header are some examples of Antenk products with through-hole mount type.

Surface-Mount
The most common electronic hardware requirements are SMT.
Essential in PCB design and manufacturing, having improved the quality and performance of PCBs overall.
Cost of processing and handling is reduced.
SMT components can be mounted on both side of the board.
Ability to fit a high number of small components on a PCB has allowed for much denser, higher performing, and smaller PCBs.
1.0mm Right-angle Dual Row female header, 1.0mm SMT Single row female header, 1.0mm SMT Dual row female header and 1.0mm Elevated Dual Row female Header are Antenk`s SMT female headers.

Soldering Temperature for 1.0mm Pitch Female Headers

Soldering SMT female connectors can be done at a maximum peak temperature of 260°C for maximum 60 seconds.

Orientation/Pin-Type: Vertical (Straight) and Right-Angle
1.0mm pitch female headers may be further classified into pin orientation as well, such as vertical or straight male header or right-angle female header.

Vertical or Straight Female Header Orientation
One side of the series of pins is connected to PCB board in which the pins can be at a right-angle to the PCB surface (usually called "straight" or [vertical") or.

Right-Angle Female Header Orientation
Parallel to the board's surface (referred to as "right-angle" pins).
Each of these pin-types have different applications that fit with their specific configuration.


PCB Connector Stacking
Profile Above PCB
This type of configuration is the most common way of connecting board-to-board by a connector. First, the stacking height is calculated from one board to another and measured from the printed circuit board face to its highest insulator point above the PCB.

Elevated Sockets/Female Headers
Elevated Sockets aka Stacked sockets/receptacles or Mezzanine are simply stacked female headers providing an exact distance requirement between PCBs that optimizes electrical reliability and performance between PCB boards.

Choosing this type of stacking configuration promotes the following benefits:
Connector Isolation - the contacts are shrouded preventing cable connection mishaps and good guidance for the mating header connectors.
For off-the-shelf wireless PCB module, stacking height is optimized with elevated sockets.
Offers superior strength and rigidity.
Polarisation prevents users from inverted insertion.

Single, Dual or Multiple Number of Rows
For a 1.0mm straight or vertical female header, the standard number of rows that Antenk offers ranges from 1 to 2 rows. However, customization can be available if 3 ,4 or n number of rows is needed by the customer. Also, the number of contacts for the single row is about 2-40 pins while for dual row, the number contacts may vary from 2-80 pins.

Pin Material
The pins of the connector attached to the board have been designed with copper alloy. With customer`s demand the pins can be made gold plated.

Custom 1.0mm Pitch Female Headers
Customizable 1.0 mm pitch female headers are also available, making your manufacturing process way faster as the pins are already inserted in the headers, insulator height is made at the right size and the accurate pin length you require is followed.
Parts are made using semi-automated manufacturing processes that ensure both precision and delicacy in handling the headers before packaging on tape and reel.

Tape and Reel Packaging for SMT Components
Antenk's SMT headers are offered with customizable mating pin lengths, in which each series has multiple number of of circuits, summing up to a thousand individual part number combinations per connector series.
The tape and reel carrier strip ensures that the headers are packaged within accurately sized cavities for its height, width and depth, securing the headers from the environment and maintaining consistent position during transportation.
Antenk also offer a range of custom Tape and reel carrier strip packaging cavities.
