Binder has introduced Cat6A data rated cables terminated in M12 circular connectors for rail, other transport, and agricultural applications. “Our connectors will be used in backbone communication structures with high data rates as well as in passenger infotainment systems,” predicted product manager Dieter Sandula. In rail and transport applications, “mechanical robustness and fire safety of materials are particularly significant challenges. ...

Mouser is shipping a CO2 sensor for air quality monitoring that is “ideal for applications that must meet standards like California’s Title 24, RESET Grade B, WELL, UBA and ASHRAE 62.2”, it said. Made by Renesas, the single-channel, non-dispersive infra-red module is called RRH47000 and has automatic baseline calibration for measurement from 0 to 5,000ppm. Also in there are temperature ...

Following the announcement of the VITA 93 (QMC) architecture for embedded system design, The embedded I/O company announced a QMC starter kit available later this year. The kit includes a single size QMC module with a multiprotocol RS232/RS422/RS485 transceiver. The air-cooled modules operates at -40°C to +85°C. There is also a dual QMC carrier, a low profile PCIe card with ...

Toshiba Electronics has introduced a 60V 1A single-contact photo-relay in a 2.6 x 7mm 4pad SO4 package. Called TLP3640A, it can switch 60Vdc or 60Vac peak, with a typical on-resistance of 0.14Ω and maximum off-state leakage of 1µA. 100ms pulses of up to 3A can be carried. Operation is over -40 to +110°C, and de-rating starts at 25°C, dropping linearly ...

Silicon Labs has announced a pair of Bluetooth-enabled microcontroller families, to be available in Q2 this year: BG22L (diagram right) devices are aimed at asset tracking tags and personal healthcare devices, and support Bluetooth 5.4 and Bluetooth Direction Finding. Processing power comes from a 38.4MHz Arm Cortex-M33 processor with up to 352kbyte of flash and up to 24kbyte of ram ...

Wurth is offering vibration-resistant versions of its surface-mount aluminium electrolytics and aluminium hybrid polymer capacitors. “SMT components are often not the best choice because, without special adaptations, they may not withstand the prolonged vibration stress,” said the company .” However, making electronics vibration-resistant does not necessarily require special connection techniques like press-fitting. Thanks to their enlarged solder pads and thicker ...

Recom has created a range of four-channel DIN rail electronic fuses with control and protection features. “The e-fuses distribute a 24V supply to four separately current limited load channels, each with a capacity of either 5A or 10A, depending on the module chosen,” said the company. “To avoid high in-rush currents, each load channel is switched on in succession with ...

ElFys has launched circular four-quadrant near-infra-red detector with a 14mm diameter active area, leading to 38.5mm2 of sensing surface in each quarter. Named QPD-385-Y, the sensor’s dark current is typically 5nA per element (140V bias, 30nA max) with a temperature coefficient of 1.11x/°C. Illuminated with 1.064μm wavelength light, at the same 140V bias typical sensitivity is 640mA/W (500mA/W minimum). Capacitance ...

Microchip has combined a chip-scale caesium atomic clock for good accuracy with a ovened crystal oscillator for good phase noise, in a through-hole package measuring 0.4 x 50.4 x 12.7mm (2 x 2 x 0.5inch, both plus pins). The crystal oscillator “offers phase noise at 10Hz [of] <-120 dBc/Hz and Allan deviation stability of <10-11 at a 1s averaging time. ...

Infineon is claiming ‘world’s smallest GSMA-compliant’ e-SIM IC for its OC1230, which measures 1.8 x 1.6 x 0.4mm and is made on a 28nm process. Inside is an Arm v8 processor and Infineon’s ‘Integrity Guard 32’ intellectual property. Security is evaluated according to BSI-CC-PP-0100-2018 specified in GSMA SGP.25, said Infineon, which added that it is based on post-quantum-cryptography-ready hardware. GSMA ...
