Nidec has opened its 108,000m2 motor factory in Jiaozhou, intended to make 18 million units and 20 million inverters per year. Part of the company’s ACIM (appliance, commercial and industrial motors) division, the Nidec Qingdao Industrial Park has 75 production lines, a 8,500m2 R&D cente with eight laboratories, and an automated warehouse. “The site is a result of the integration of ...
Nexperia has created a 20A 1,200V SiC Schottky diode, using a merged PiN structure to increase surge current capability. For 10ms half-sine pulses its rating is 135A, 91A2/s at 25°C, and 100A, 50A2/s at 150°C. A square pulse of 710A can be withstood for 10μs at 25°C. There is a choice of packaging for the same die: PSC20120L has a ...
How does the (US) Chips Act affect innovation? This question was posed at DAC and the expert panel agreed that there is no lack of engineering talent but how to corral it to the right areas is proving more complex. Saverio Fazzari, senior lead engineer at management consultancy Booz Allen Hamilton. Workforce development, expressed his hopes for the cash injections. ...
Mitsubishi has announced a series of industrial controllers with cyber security. “MX Controller has received TÜV Rheinland certification according to IEC 62443-4-1 and IEC 62443-4-2 standards. This certification verifies protection against unauthorised access and cyber attacks for industrial infrastructure,” according to the company. “The controller includes specific security features such as encrypted communication, user authentication and access control mechanisms, and ...
Kyocera has brought out a line of integrated thin film (ITF) hybrid couplers for high-frequency wireless systems in industrial, automotive, telecommunications, and telemetry applications. Hybrid couplers are special four-port directional couplers that split input signals into two equal-amplitude 3dB outputs whose phases are shifted by 90°. Many also support performance monitoring and inject signals without interrupting the original signal. The ...
Chell Instruments has introduced a 32 input thermocouple scanner for temperature measurement in industry and aerospace. Called 2432T, “it measures all types of thermocouples with high accuracy and at high speed, and outputs the data over interfaces that including Modbus, iDDS, IENA, Netscanner, or Chell native TCP/IP protocol or UDP protocol”, according to the company. Its construction includes a copper ...
EBE Sensors + Motion has introduced a touch sensor evaluation board for challenging environments. It implements a technology branded ‘TCRC’, which is aimed at operating panels in industry, construction machinery, medical environments and kitchens, for example. “Whether in freezing cold, tropical heat, wet, or dusty environments, TCRC sensors work reliably,” claimed EBE. “They can be operated with gloves or dirty ...

Customers designing for mission-critical projects can benefit from a 10% discount to all qualifying SIC code holders or defence, aerospace and marine procurement departments or contractors for orders submitted before 30 September 2025. The offer is valid throughout EMEA. Farnell’s offerings of components for aerospace, defence and marine applications ...
TDK is challenging quartz accelerometers in down-hole measure-while-drilling applications with a ±14g MEMS accelerometer that works across -30 to +150°C. With a “unique closed-loop architecture that provides an unprecedented level of vibration rectification and resistance to operational shocks, AXO315T0 exhibits a bias residual error of 0.8mg over its operating temperature range, enabling a precise and continuous inclination measurement for directional ...
Murata has introduced an industrial-grade 3-axis accelerometer for structural health monitoring, machine control and construction. Includes temperature and drift over lifetime. Excluding mechanical shocks The company claims an offset error over life and temperature of ±4mg for x and y axes, and ±6mg for z, for the unit, dubbed SCA3400-D01. (‘g’ in this article is gravity rather than grams). Offset ...
