D-Sub connectors feature special mounting bracket
Provertha’s new D-Sub connectors are ideally suited for applications demanding small mounting heights on the PCB. The D-Sub Eurostyle connectors are available in male and female versions with 9 to 37 pins and a mounting height of only 3.6 mm. Due to the low mounting height of only 3.6 mm compared to the standard version with 7.3 mm, a typical 19-inch rack can accommodate more plug-in slots at a given front panel width for example.
LoRa deal to be unveiled at electronica
FastNet, a machine-to-machine (M2M) operator in South Africa has selected Semtech’s LoRa technology to target low power connectivity for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The deal will be officially announced at electronica in Munich. LoRa network deployments will target devices and services that require very long battery lifetime at a low price point, complementing FastNet’s other cellular M2M services that are optimal for...

Avnet Memec gives IoT star billing at electronica
The Internet of Things will have its own zone on the Avnet Memec at electronica. Through live demonstrations the plan is to highlight the seamless integration of different networks, nodes, sensors and actuators into single Cloud Services and web based applications. Avnet Memec recognises the IoT world is a very broad area so it has separated the demo systems into two distinct areas.
