A miniature OEM 900MHz frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) wireless modem, the Pico series P900 has been announced by Microhard Systems. Providing the ultimate OEM solution for cost and size sensitive applications, the P900 features an extremely small footprint for tight integration and design flexibility.

A Chrome DIN rail power supply series, from Delta Electronics, has been extended with the addition of a 30W product offering 24V output voltage. The Class II double isolation power supply is designed for use in compact cabinets.

Two medium power switch series, featuring either momentary or locking actuation configurations, has been added to C&K Component's PCB-mounted switch product line. The PVA Series short-stroke key switches are designed for through-hole PCB soldering, and are available in either DPST (double pole, single throw) or DPDT (double pole, double throw) configurations.

70% smaller than current solutions and delivering a 30% reduction in Time To First Fix (TTFF), CSR and OriginGPS announce a series of high-performance GNSS modules using CSR’s SiRFstarIV and SiRFstarV product lines. Integrating antennas, the modules are suited for health and fitness trackers, sports watches, medical devices, wearable action cameras and digital still cameras.

The launch of what is being named as the industry's first six stream 802.11ac MIMO platform for home networks has been announced by Broadcom. The 5G WiFi XStream is up to 50% faster than MU-MIMO routers and gateways, Broadcom claims.

Suited for current detection in applications with increased power requirements, such as automotive systems and industrial equipment, ROHM has announced the development of high power ultra-low-ohmic shunt resistors. The PSR series includes the PSR400, which is rated at 4W, and the PSR500, which is rated up to 5W.

Completing the company's Bias-T product portfolio, HUBER+SUHNER has introduced smart ASIG devices designed for installation near to the base receiving station or near to the antenna. Covering the full LTE bandwidth of 690-2700MHz, these Bias-Ts feed/inject or decouple both DC and ASIG control signals into or from a feeder cable.

Performance results for KEMET's polymer tantalum capacitors have been released. The capacitors have been developed according to the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) Q200 Reliability Document, with the results announced at the 2014 CARTS International Conference in Santa Clara, CA.

The inventory of SMP and mini SMP connectors from Pasternack has been expanded, with the connectors specially designed for many wireless and military applications including high density interconnect modules, radar equipment, wireless base stations and medical lab equipment.

  Avalue Technology has introduced the ECM-DX2 3.5" micro module, targeted to meet the demands of the embedded market, such as industrial automation, railway industry, cleantech, transportation/vehicle construction and aviation applications.
