Distributor TME is offering high power automotive connectors for electric vehicles from Amphenol GEC. There are two ranges: PowerLok G2 are for battery and traction connections at currents up to 300A, voltage up to 1kV, and conductors up to 150mm2.  Mated sealing is to IP67 PowerLok 4.0 G2 are physically smaller and for sensors and actuators at up to 60A, ...

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 ...

Component distributor Rutronik is offering a series of tiny surface-mount magnetically shielded power inductor from Knitter, The ICSIxxxxxxTxSHyST12 series spans sizes between 1.6 x 0.8 x 0.8mm and 6.6 x 6.4 x 3.1mm, inductance from 0.1 to 10μH and saturation currents from 1.3 to 35A. “The inductor series works reliably at operating temperatures from -40 to +125°C and is suitable ...

Micsig’s SATO1004 is a four-channel automotive oscilloscope with a comprehensive list of pre-set vehicle related tests. The instrument features 100MHz bandwidth, 1Gsample/s (in single channel mode), 32Mpoint memory and up to five hours of mobile use from its built-in battery, or continuous use from its 12V power adaptor. “SATO1004 is a professional vehicle testing tool for evaluating CAN, LIN, Flex ...

Hampshire (UK) based AltoNovus has created a low-applied-voltage ohmmeter for probing circuits that might be damaged by higher voltages. It is called OR-01 OhmRanger-LCV (LCV for ‘low compliance voltage’) and measures resistances from 10Ω to 100MΩ while applying 206 or 380mV (selectable) maximum to prevent harming a device under test. Maximum stimulus is limited to ~30mA. “Additional built-in features include a signal-to-noise ...

Excel Cell Electronics (ECE) ESR5 series of solid-state relays are available with or without LED Indicators, with ac or dc control inputs, and, separately, with ac or dc-type outputs. “Characteristics include its zero voltage turn-on, zero voltage turn-off to minimise EMI and RFI, and output snubber circuit protection. It also has a high surge rating to allow lamp and motor ...

Viewing angles can be problematic for displays, especially if the person viewing is wearing polarised lens glasses. Addressing this problems, Relec Electronics and Digiwise have developed a quarter-wave retarder film for use over TFT displays used in industrial and municipal applications, such as transportation. The retarder film allows information to be clear and readable in outdoor or safety areas, where ...
