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 ...
Farnell has broadened its portfolio of components tailored for mission-critical industries. 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 ...
The durable Arduino Opta micro PLC enables industrial and building automation. It integrates with existing machines, devices, and the modular Arduino ecosystem – from sensor modules to SOMs and gateways – for a tailored solution. Opta supports OTA updates and ensures security from hardware to cloud, compliant with the X.509 Standard. It is available at TME, making it easily accessible ...
Embedded compute modules based on Qualcomm Dragonwing processors, now support different operating systems, with options including Android, Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, and Yocto Linux. Developed by Tria Technologies, an Avnet company, the boards are for embedded designs in the industrial, medical, agriculture and construction sectors, as well as edge computing, machine learning and AI. The low-power Qualcomm Dragonwing processors have ...
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 ...
Nanotec has introduced a driver for stepper and brush-less dc (BLDC) motors with sensor-less closed-loop and field-oriented control (FOC). Intended for steppers from NEMA 14 to NEMA 34 and BLDC motors up to NEMA 23 “its sensor-less closed-loop control provides precise management of torque and speed”, according to the company. A additional ‘safe torque off’ (STO) function is in the ...
