The CBM‑75B, CBM‑97B, and CBM‑120B series utilise ball bearing construction, while the CBM‑50V and CBM‑60V series feature CUI Devices' omniCOOL system.

  Fans are all around us and form an integral part of our mechanised, electronics-centred lifestyles. From consumer appliances to large industrial machinery, devices we use every day rely on fans to expel hot air and keep them cool enough to operate reliably.

CUI Devices has added a heat sink product line to its portfolio of Peltier devices & DC fans. The aluminum heat sinks, available in both extruded & stamped versions, are compatible with TO-218, -220, -252, & -263 transistor packages. Designed to improve the heat dissipation of low & high power board level applications, these stampings & extrusions are conveniently measured under four conditions for thermal resistance, making i...

A new line of high performance Peltier modules have been announced by CUI Devices which boasts performance and reliability, thanks to its innovative arcTEC structure. This construction utilises a combination of thermally conductive resin between the ceramic and copper on the cold side of the module, high temperature solder, and larger P/N elements made from premium silicon ingot.

CUI Devices announced the addition of a waterproof micro USB 2.0 connector to its USB product family. The UJ2W MIBH 4 SMT is a micro B type jack connector with an Ingress Protection (IP) rating of IPX7, offering protection from liquid and moisture in challenging environments. Thanks to its copper alloy contact terminals with 30 microinch (µin) gold over nickel plating and stainless steel shielding, the UJ2W MIBH 4 SMT is designed for h...

CUI Devices announced a partnership with Lin Engineering to integrate CUI Devices' innovative AMT encoder technology with Lin’s latest, high performance motor series. Lin Engineering’s G3718V series is a NEMA 17 sized motor with a length of 0.90 inches (22.86 mm) that can produce up to 50% more torque than motors of a similar size. Thanks to its design, the G3718V also features improved passive cooling, increasing overall efficie...

An expansion to an existing portfolio of power, audio and signal connectors of a USB product line has been announced by CUI Devices. The connector family incorporates USB 2.0 and 3.0 connectors available in Type A, Type B, Micro AB, Micro B, Mini AB and Mini B USB versions.

CUI Devices has expanded its range of waterproof buzzers with three models carrying an IP rating up to IP68 and featuring SPL up to 95dB at 30cm. This makes the CPT‑1495C‑300, CPT‑1495CI‑300 and CPT‑2521C‑500 suited for a range of industrial and outdoor applications where moisture and other environmental contaminants are a concern.

CUI Devices has announced several additions to its range of micro buzzers. The three models, CMT‑4023S‑SMT, CMT‑5023S‑SMT and CPT‑9019S‑SMT, are housed in compact, surface mount packages as small as 4x4mm. Featuring profile depths as low as 1.9mm and Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) ranging from 65 to 80dB at 10cm, these micro buzzers are suited for a range of portable equipment applications.

  CUI Devices has announced a line of compact, low-profile micro-speakers housed in packages as small as 13x13mm. The CDS series, with profile depths as low as 3mm, offers a variety of power ratings from 0.3 to 6W and come with impedance of 4 or 8Ω.

CUI Devices in the Lab series takes viewers inside the engineering lab for technical and application-based demonstrations on the latest technologies from CUI Devices.

In partnership with Ingvar Andermo, CUI Devices has developed a proprietary method of measuring rotational movement by implementing an ASIC to detect changes in the frequency of a signal modulated by capacitive reactance. Used for years as the key technology in digital callipers, it has been applied to position encoding in the form of the AMT series modular encoder.

A next-generation modular encoder series is now available from CUI Devices. The AMT31 series, using a capacitive code generation system coupled with a proprietary ASIC, generates standard U/V/W commutation signals for vectoring current to brushless motors. The technology employed allows the device to be particularly well suited to brushless dc motor applications subject to vibration and contaminants.
