Transceiver coolers suitable for optical communications market
Laird has developed a platform of customisable thermoelectric assemblies (TEAs) specifically designed for thermal management in small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers. Optical transceivers are used in communication equipment to transmit data at distances up to 1 km away for outdoor applications. Each unit contains a temperature sensitive laser diode, and the ability to transmit data at higher speeds depends on keeping the temperature typi...
New technique for moulding flexible PCBs
Model Solution has created a unique manufacturing solution for a company trying to validate the mass production potential of its wearable device design. The Myo armband from Thalmic offers touch-free control of technology with hand gestures and motion. Via a wearable presentation remote, the Myo gesture control armband reads a user's muscle activity and hand motion to control presentation software.
Multi-interface platform features low power, long range IoT deployments
Laird has announced the release of its Enterprise Internet of Things (EIoT) low-power, long-range LoRa gateway, which enables enterprise customers to deploy EIoT networks in practically any geographic location, even where traditional communications infrastructure is unavailable.
Compact chillers deliver precise temperature control
Laird has designed a benchtop re-circulating chiller for laser applications that require precise and continuous temperature control. The self-contained MRC Series thermoelectric re-circulating chiller offers dependable, compact performance by controlling the temperature of a coolant in a liquid circuit.

The RM1xx series of modules offer a powerful, convenient solution for long-range EIoT (Enterprise IoT) deployments. This video walks you through what to expect when you get your RM1xx Development Kit and shows you where to find everything you need to get started.
Thermal management for semiconductor process equipment
The critical production tools used in semiconductor fabrication facilities must be reliable and easy to service in order to minimise downtime. Laird has developed custom cooling and temperature control systems, including heat exchangers, pumps, sensors, thermoelectric modules, thermoelectric assemblies, thermoelectric chillers, compressors, flow controllers and temperature controllers, to keep semiconductor fabrication equipment running at precis...
Thermoelectric assemblies optimise liquid chromatography equipment
Laird has simplified the product selection and thermal design process by offering standard and custom thermal management solutions that offer precise temperature control to optimise the performance of liquid chromatography equipment. Depending on the heat load capacity requirements of the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) equipment, these thermal systems are comprised of Laird's advanced SR-54 series temperature controller in combinat...
Thermoelectric module cools industrial lasers
Laird has developed a high heat flux density thermoelectric module (TEM) designed to achieve a higher heat pumping capacity than standard TEMs. Assembled with a large number of semiconductor couples, the UltraTEC Series TEM has a heat pumping capacity up to 340W, which is suitable for larger cooling applications with limited surface area such as industrial lasers.
Achieving efficient cooling at lower cost
To protect critical telecommunication cabinets, energy storage systems and back-up battery systems, Laird has developed an air-to-air outdoor cooler. The AA-480 Series thermoelectric assembly delivers long life operation and is well suited for new and retro-fit mobile base station and cell tower projects. The small AA-480 Series can replace bulky, more expensive cooling units - lowering operating costs and saving time on maintenance.
Thermoelectric modules enhance reliability of PCR cyclers
Laird has developed an advanced ThermoElectric Module (TEM) designed for high reliability applications like Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) thermal cycling, which require extended Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF). The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a biochemical technology that amplifies a single copy or a few strands of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating several hundred thousands of copies of a particular DNA sequence.
Thermoelectric temperature controllers shorten development time
Laird has launched a series of easy-to-use temperature controllers specifically designed for closed loop feedback control of Thermoelectric Assemblies (TEAs). The PR-59 series proportional controller is configurable and can be integrated into a system with a minimal amount of programming, allowing design engineers to shorten product development and move products to market faster.
TEM simulation software shortens design cycles
Laird has updated and enhanced the AZTEC TEM (ThermoElectric Module) simulation programme algorithms to further reduce thermal design time. The AZTEC product selection tool allows design engineers to specify a given set of input variables based on application attributes and the software analysis outputs optimal TEMs for examination.
