A large range of new hardware accessories especially for commercial vehicles has been launched by EMKA in the form of a new “Commercial-Vehicles” brochure which details locks, latches, handles, hinges and gasketing now available for vehicles from horse boxes to railway rolling stock.

Murata today announced the mass production of the SV03 series of low profile surface mount rotary position sensors. Measuring just 11 x 12 x 2.1 mm and weighing only 0.4 g, these compact sensors are idea for use in a range of automotive applications.

Texas Instruments Incorporated today introduced an automotive-qualified 36-V, single-supply, low-noise op amp (operational amplifier) that can operate on supplies ranging from +2.7 V to +36 V. The OPA171-Q1 offers high-precision performance in a cost-effective, low-power device. In addition to industry-standard packaging, the device is available for automotive qualification in the SOT-553 micro package, which is 50-percent smaller than comparable...

The ATS685LSH is an optimized Hall-effect sensing integrated circuit and rare-earth pellet combination that provides a user-friendly solution for true zero-speed digital gear-tooth sensing in two-wire applications. The sensor IC consists of a single-shot molded plastic package that includes a samarium cobalt pellet, a pole piece, and a Hall Effect IC that has been optimized to the magnetic circuit. This small package can be easily assembled and u...

The ATS627 is a true zero-speed gear tooth sensor IC consisting of an optimized Hall IC and rare earth pellet configuration in a single overmolded package. The integrated circuit provides a manufacturer-friendly solution for digital gear tooth sensing applications. This small package can be easily assembled and used in conjunction with gears of various shapes and sizes.

Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. announces the release of two devices that complement the next generation family of fully-integrated single, full-bridge motor driver ICs. Allegro’s A4952 and A4953 are designed for use in brush DC motor drive applications and are rated for peak output currents to ±2 A, and operating voltages to 40 V. Input terminals are provided for use in controlling the speed and direction of a DC motor with externally applied PWM ...

Microchip Technology Inc. today announced the MCP1754/MCP1754S low dropout regulators (LDOs). The devices feature a high PSRR of 70 dB at 1 kHz (typical), and a maximum output current of 150 mA at +125 degrees Celsius junction temperature. Both LDOs offer a high input voltage of 16V and an output voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V, with standard output voltages of 2V, 2.5V, 2.8V, 3V, 3.3V, 4V and 5V, and output voltage tolerances of +/-2.0 percent ove...

The Delphi Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Dosing System, with its high performance dosing injector, is designed to help reduce the amount of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in the exhaust from light duty diesel vehicles. It offers an innovative design with the ability to maximize emissions reduction potential, including CO2, at minimum system cost across a wide range of applications.

With copper costs continuing to rise, Delphi Automotive is introducing an Aluminum Cable that performs comparably to traditional copper core cable without the added cost. The technology, which is also lighter than copper cable, is now in production and will be introduced on 2012 model year vehicles.

PREMO launches a new family of its 1103 standard, universally adopted by industry. This format provides up to 55mV/Apk-pk/m sensitivity which gives it the best sensitivity by cm3 in the market. The new SDTR1103CAP, is a SMD antenna for low frequency 20kHz-150kHz receiver applications. This series offers upper and lateral side protection with co-polyamide polyhexamethylene polymer walls, gamma radiated with high thermal stability (supports up to 2...
