When Anglia Components lost the Analog Devices franchise as the semiconductor company dramatically streamlined its distribution network, CEO Steve Rawlins (pictured) saw an opportunity to create a new business model for outsourcing semiconductors. John Bowman, marketing director, explained: “There is a trend among certain large semiconductor manufacturers to reduce their distribution network. This, of course, reduces their operating costs and ...
Vishay has introduced a precision isolation amplifier with 5kVrms isolation test voltage and 150kV/μs typical (100kV/μs min) common-mode transient immunity: VIA0050DD. “Isolation amplifiers in the VIA series have been developed for applications that require thermal stability and measurement accuracy,” according to distributor Rutronik, which is stocking the parts, and laims: “They guarantee reliable and robust performance even in harsh environments, ...
CBM300S is a 300W fan-less ac-dc baseplate-cooled PSU, delivering 360W peak, in a 107 x 85 x 20mm brick. Made by Cinon and available through Relec, the supplies have closed-box construction and can accept power from 90 – 264Vac or 120 – 370Vdc. Different version offer outputs at 12, 15, 24, 28, 36, 48 or 54V. These can be trimmed ...
German manufacturer MB Dynamics has introduced a vertical pitch and roll shaker table family that produces multi-axis vibration for testing components aimed at drones, helicopters and vehicles. “Unlike conventional single-axis shakers, the systems provide simultaneous motion in up to five axes,” according to MB’s UK distributor CentraTEQ, which is stocking the testers. “Vertical excitation is combined with pitch and roll ...
