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 ...

Mouser is now stocking TriMate rugged circular connectors from AirBorn, pitching them against larger legacy MIL-DTL-38999 connectors “while delivering equal or superior performance”, claimed the component distributor. These come in three mating-retention forms on the plug side: traditional 38999-style ratcheting tri-start threaded, push-pull latch, and break-away for quick de-mating. “Each plug type mates with the same receptacle to reduce manufacturing ...

Aaeon has released two single board computers based on Intel’s Twin Lake Core 3 Processor N355. Called Up Squared TWL and Up Squared Pro TWL, they are also available with Processor N250 or Processor N150 CPUs. The non-Pro measures 85.6 x 90mm and includes two RS-232/422/485 pin wafers, three USB ports, and a 40-pin HAT connector offering GPIO, SPI, I2C, ...

Aaeon has announced a 115 x 165mm industrial PC board that supports 14th gen Intel Core CPUs up to 65W, as well as gen 12 and 13 processors. “The board is positioned for applications requiring greater computing performance in space constrained smart manufacturing setups like industrial control, PLC automation and remote monitoring, where the installation of a board based on ...

Inelco Hunter is stocking a touch screen 4.3-inch IPS display which, as well as suiting new industrial designs, is a drop-in alternative to recently discontinued Innolux models, it said. Made by Powertip in Taiwan, JXT480272T016-ZBB03 has a resolution of 480(RGB) x 272 pixels and a backlight for viewing at up to 450cd/m2. The touch screen is resistive, and the image ...

At Hardware Pioneers Max 2025 we caught up with Dunstan Power, Director and Co-Founder of ByteSnap, as part of our promotional coverage for the event. He explains how industrial manufacturers can navigate today’s technical challenges, including implementing FPGA solutions, modernising systems, extending product lifecycles, and managing obsolescence without costly redesigns. He also shares insights from his new industry report on ...

Allegro MicroSystems today announced three ICs: two analogue current sensors and a motor driver for fans. The first current sensor, ACS37630, is designed to be sat on top of a bus bar and partly surrounded by a U-core magnetic field concentrator. “Its vertical Hall technology enables sensing parallel to the package surface, ideal for system integration with U-core magnets,” according ...

STMicroelectronics has announced a series of AI-enabled and security-enabled industrial and IoT microcontrollers: STM32MP235. The parts have dual Arm Cortex-A35 cores (1.3 or 1.5GHz depending on version), a 400MHz Cortex-M33 and an 0.6Top/s neural network accelerator. On board is a 400MHz VeriSilicon GC8000UL 3D GPU capable of up to 66.5Mtriangle/s or 400Mpixel/s, Open GL ES 3.2.8 or Vulkan 1.2. This ...

Aiming at factory automation, Binder has announced D-coded M8 panel connectors with pre-installed single wires. “We supply the single wires untwisted, allowing customers to twist them according to their application needs to achieve better transmission results,” said Binder product manager Guido Werner. “M8-D-coded connectors enable communication between controllers, sensors and actuators in manufacturing and process plants.” There are three versions, ...

Cinon has created a range of 550W ac-dc single output power supplies measuring ~130 x 84 x 25.4mm. The power supplies do not have an internal fan, and 550W is only achievable with both baseplate and blown air cooling above 21.9cfm, with derating starting at 50°C ambient, and the maximum allowable load dropping to 350W at 80°C. With un-blown ambient ...
