Binder’s latest M8 flange connectors feature a new solder-connection design with the idea being to enable simple, manual wiring, whether for customised builds or small production batches. The connectors are aimed at applications requiring customer-specific cable lengths or manual production in small series, says the company. This may be in automation and robotics, where compact designs and flexible signal transmission ...
Rohm Semiconductor launches high capacity LDO regulator ICs based on Nano Cap technology
Advantech is releasing its UNO-2372V3 edge automation computer for industrial IoT applications, for example, factory, building and machine automation use cases. It has an operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, with 10–36Vdc wide-range input. Running on an Intel quad-core N250 processor, the modular architecture includes support for high-speed I/O and up to 16GB DDR5 SO-DIMM memory. There are dual ...
Samtec’s 0.635 mm pitch AcceleRate mP series connectors are now available from Powell Electronics. The high-density, high-speed power and signal array connectors feature rotated power blades for efficient cooling in a compact form factor. The power blades are rotated at 90º angles which gives equal access to heat escape for uniform cooling, explains Samtec. It also simplifies the breakout region, ...
STMicroelectronics has introduced stripped down versions of its STM32MP2 MCU family for smart factory applications. Called STM32MP21, they all get a single 1.2 or 1.5GHz Arm Cortex-A35 application processor and a single 300MHz Cortex-M33 for booting and sleep-wake control. Arm’s TrustZone is available for secure code separation, and ST’s proprietary ‘resource isolation framework’ (RIF) is present to defend against tampering. ...
Finnish company Enedo Power has turned to GaN transistors to put a 1,200W ac-dc power supply into a 41 x 107 x 206mm (900cm3) volume. Called HDP1200, they run from 85 – 305Vac (de-rated to 1kW below 137Vac) and produce 24V or 48V depending on type, plus a 5V 1.5A stand-by output. Efficiency is up to 95.5%, and a fan ...
Globalfoundries (GF) and onsemi have signed an agreement to develop and manufacture advanced GaN power products using GF’s 200mm eMode GaN-on-silicon process. The focus for initial development will be 650V power devices for AI datacentres, electric vehicles, renewable energy, industrial systems, aerospace, defence and security. “This collaboration brings together onsemi’s system and product expertise with GlobalFoundries’ advanced GaN process to ...
Since it was first introduced, Raspberry Pi has grown to become a trusted platform for industrial applications, thanks to its flexibility, performance, and robust ecosystem that supports both rapid prototyping and large-scale deployment. Here, Farnell’s Regional Solutions Marketing Manager, Ankur Tomar, explains how Raspberry Pi bridges traditional embedded systems, industrial controllers, and modern Edge computing. The Raspberry Pi revolution Initially ...
D-Link has launched a dual-SIM 5G cellular-to-Ethernet bridging router for machine-to-machine communication. DWM-314-G 5G has a built-in four-port Gbit/s Ethernet switch and two separate 5G interfaces. “Additionally, secure [OpenVPN, Wireguard] VPN capabilities safeguard data transmission, ensuring robust security for all connected devices,” added D-Link. Each cellular connection gets its own micro-SIM card (‘3FF’ size), two antennas (four total, via SMA-F), ...
TDK has introduced hybrid polymer electrolytics that can resist 30g vibration, for automotive and industrial applications – tested to MIL-STD-202, Method 204. The parts are surface-mount, and their vibration resistance “is achieved by four posts that come out of the base plate of the component and stabilise the can in the event of mechanical shocks and vibrations”, according to the ...
