Hirose is aiming at high-vibration environments with a series of 1mm pitch centre-lock single-row wire-to-board connectors. “Built with high vibration resistance, the connectors’ rib design provides a secure fit when mating the plug and receptacle. When mated correctly, there is a clear tactile click,” said the company, adding: “The series passed the 2,000 Hz vibration test [and] it is a ...
Mouser is now shipping the AMD’s Spartan UltraScale+ FPGAs, based on the company’s UltraScale architecture for high I/O, low power applications. The FPGAs enable I/O expansion, sensor processing and control, and board management and are suitable for devices and sensors connected at the edge, including industrial automation, networking, robotics, wireless applications and industrial IoT. They are also suitable for data ...
Kyocera AVX has added stand-off legs to surface-mount multi-layer ceramic capacitors to improve bending resilience and suppress thermally-induced weld cracking. Operation is over -55 to +125°C. “KGP Series stacked MLCCs are engineered to optimise the performance of high-frequency applications in the industrial, alternative energy and down-hole oil and gas industries,” according to the company. Both J (pictured) and L style ...
STMicroelectronics is aiming at industrial and telecom power supplies with a 220V half-bridge driver for GaN power transistors. With a maximum rail voltage of 220V, STDRIVEG211, as it will be known, is intended to work from 72V batteries and 110Vac power lines. To protect the GaN gates, the two drive voltages are regulated to 6V maximum, and under-voltage lock-out it ...
Harting has developed a family of kits to convert traditional D-Sub connectors to push-pull latching. “D-Sub PushPull eliminates the need for fixing screws, utilising a straightforward push-pull mechanism that securely attaches to fixing bolts,” according to the company. “With options for internal or external cable clamps, the connector accommodates cable diameters up to 14mm and supports up to three cable ...
Emis of Sweden has a range of three-phase passive harmonic filters intended to minimise harmonic distortion with non-linear loads such as variable frequency drives (VFDs), uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) and rectifiers. “They are typically tuned to specific harmonic orders – 3rd, 5th, 7th and 11th, for example – providing low-impedance paths at those frequencies to divert harmonic content,” according to ...
Melexis has introduced a 40W driver with four half bridges and field-oriented control to operate three-phase brushless motors and four-wire stepper motors. A CPU is included and both sensor-less and sensor-based feedback can be implemented. “For applications requiring flexibility in configuration, MLX81339 offers flash programmability,” said the company. It “ensures reliable start-up, stopping and precise speed control from low to ...
Nexperia has four announced 100V automotive mosfets in a 12 x 12mm CCPAK1212 legged SMD package. This package saves “up to 40% PCB space compared to traditional TOLL or TOLT-packaged alternatives”, according to the company. There are bottom-cooled (CCPAK1212) and top-cooled (CCPAK1212i, pictured) versions (see table below). On-resistance is between 0.99 and 1.35mΩ, depending on the part, and a copper ...
Optoelectronic components play a key role in circuit isolation, control modules, and communication applications. Therefore, manufacturers like Everlight rarely limit their range to just LEDs… Below we present the offer of Everlight brand optoelectronic components. This Taiwanese manufacturer boasts over 40 years of experience in its industry. Everlight, as a highly specialized supplier, targets its offer to customers seeking universal, ...
Toshi Hishiki puts a spotlight on how the latest precision timing technology is redefining synchronisation in robotics. The adoption of robotics in factories has reached a record of 162 units per 10,000 employees, according to the World Robotics 2024 report. Today’s hyper-connected robots are demanding. They require much more than the traditional industrial control systems used in factory automation. In ...
