The HM.16 motor-mount connector from Tyco Electronics is said to simplify the installation and maintenance of wind power turbines. The connector consists of a cast-aluminium housing that accepts various inserts from the HTS industrial connector family, an interface seal for IP65 protection, and a nickel-plated steel locking lever. The housing is available in several sizes to fit standard motor cutouts so that no motor redesign is required. The mo...

Diodes Incorporated has announced an expansion of its power MOSFET product range with the introduction of new devices suitable for load and switching functions in a variety of consumer, communication, computing and industrial applications.
