Intersolar: Rework flux for solar modules
Emil Otto has developed flux gels for manual rework on solar modules, that are based on solar module production fluxes. Fluxes for manual and rework soldering tend to contain “different activators to those used for series production”, according to the company. “Thanks to the uniform activators of the Emil Otto flux gels, cross-reactions that can occur when using different activators ...
Embedded World Video: Weebit Nano on why the next NVM is ReRAM
At Embedded World 2025 we caught up with Coby Hanoch, the CEO of Weebit Nano, as part of our promotional coverage for the event. He discusses how Weebit Nano is a leading developer of advanced semiconductor ReRAM memory technology that will drive the proliferation of intelligent devices. The company is focused on delivering the industry’s most advanced memory technologies that ...
Piezo sounders and haptic sources
Same Sky has added to its portfolio of disc-shaped piezoelectric elements, with devices from 12 to 35mm in diameter and down to 0.12mm thick. Picking the 12mm x 0.12mm CEB-12012-L100 as an example, it has pre-attached 100mm flying leads, which not all of the new parts have, and can be driven with up to 30Vp-p. Resonant frequency is specified without ...
Mems gyro-compass IMU in the palm of your hand
SBG Systems has demonstrated what it claims is the first mems-based gyrocompassing (north-seeking) inertial measurement unit (IMU), at Ocean Business 2025 “It is important to distinguish between a sensor or even an IMU that could perform gyro-compass functions and a complete gyro-compassing and navigating solution,” SBG marketing head Florian Ollier told Electronics Weekly. “In our case, we combine an IMU with ...
Tiny reed relay switches up to 8GHz
Standex Electronics has created a reed relay that measures 7.95 x 4.67 x 3.6mm and can switch 100V, 200mA, 3W or 8GHz. 8GHz is the -3dB frequency, at which the switch offers -5dB isolation when open. There are two versions: UJ-103RF has a 3.3V 90Ω coil UJ-105RF has a 5V 150Ω coil “This series is designed to meet the demand ...
1.5mΩ 48V automotive load switch
Infineon has revealed a 1.5mΩ protected load switch for 24V and 48V automotive systems. “With more than 1,000,000 switching cycles, the switches far exceed the average of conventional relays,” claimed Infineon. Called BTH50015-1LUA, it is functional across 12 to 54V, will work from 8 to 60V with some restrictions, and can survive over -0.3 to +70V. 1.5mΩ is a typical ...
More on: Isolated ADCs measure mV with a ±200V offset
Texas Instruments is aiming at robot motor control up to 60V with a series of isolated ADCs that include 200V barriers and come in 8pad 3.5 x 2.7mm VSON packaging. Each has a ΣΔ ADC on the hot side, an isolation barrier, then a digital interface on the cool side. The output is a modulated bit stream synchronised to an ...
2.1MHz low-side current sense amplifier
STMicroelectronics has introduced a 2.1MHz bandwidth low-side current-measurement amplifier in a 6-lead SOT23 pacakge. Dubbed TSC1801, it is aimed at motor control, solar power and automotive power conditioning. “The amplifier’s fast response allows pulse-by-pulse current control even in very high-frequency power-management systems,” according to the company, as well as “rapid over-current detection, protecting sensitive output-stage components against being damaged in ...
M8 connectors from Inelco Hunter
Component distributor Inelco Hunter can now ship the Conec M8 range of circular connectors and sockets. “Every Conec part that was from Conec is now Amphenol-owned and, as we offer the Amphenol range, we have access to the entire range of Conec products,” said Inelco Hunter MD David Bushnell. Sockets with up to eight poles are available, in front and ...
