Phase-monitoring relay prevents motor burnout
Finder has introduced the 72.31 three-phase monitoring relay, which is used for detecting a loss of phase or incorrect phase rotation when using three-phase supplies. This compact relay is ideally suited for the protection of motors in plant and machinery, and helps to satisfy the mandatory requirement of ensuring the correct rotation of motors in transportable equipment.
Light armour fibre optic cables
Timbercon has introduced the Light ARMOR fiber optic cable assembly product line, designed to provide customers with a light weight, durable, and easy to work with fiber cable solution for applications requiring more ruggedization than available with traditional cable optic patch cords.
Sixteenth Bricks Provide 95% of Full-Rated Power at 70°C with only 200LFM Cooling
Power-One, Inc has introduced the SSQ Series of sixteenth-brick DC-DC converters. Operating from 36-75VDC inputs, three single-output models provide 2.5V @ 20A, 3.3V @ 15A, and 5.0V @ 10A. High efficiencies and advanced thermal management techniques enable delivery of up to 95% of full-rated power at 70°C with as little as 200 LFM of cooling.
MicroPHY transceiver for embedded 10/100 Ethernet applications
Alpha Micro Components has available Teridian Semiconductor's new MicroPHY transceiver for embedded 10/100 Ethernet applications. Packaged in an ultra small 5mm x 5mm QFN package, the Teridian MicroPHY is said to be the World's smallest Fast Ethernet PHY. Targeted at consumer audio-video and industrial products the 78Q2123 features Hewlett Packard's "Auto-MDIX" technology whilst also providing a full 802.3 Media Independent Interface.
Evaluation and development system supports Ramtron’s FRAM-enhanced 8051 MCU
Ramtron has introduced the VersaKit-30xx, a complete and comprehensive evaluation platform that supports the VRS51L3074, Ramtron’s new fully integrated, high performance Versa 8051 microcontroller with 8KB of FRAM memory.
Data Acquisition SoC can
Semtech has announced the SX8801R, an ultra low power, high-resolution system-on-chip (SoC) for data acquisition from micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) sensors in battery-powered consumer, medical and industrial systems.
POLA Alliance Members to offer Pin-Compatible Modules based on TI's T2 products
Texas Instruments has announced that the POLA alliance has agreed to offer pin-compatible plug-in modules based on TI's T2 non-isolated, power modules with ultra-fast transient response.
Development Kit Provides WLAN for Battery-Operated Devices
Texas Instruments has announced its Consumer Electronics WLAN Developer Kit (CE WLAN DK) 2.0. which provides manufacturers with the systems-level building blocks they need to add Wi-Fi connectivity to battery-operated devices from digital still cameras and portable media players (PMPs) to emerging communications and entertainment applications.
Dual-Core PXI Embedded Controller is Industry First
National Instruments has announced what is said to be the industry’s first dual-core PXI embedded controller with the 2.0 GHz Intel Core™ Duo processor T2500 for multitasking environments and multithreaded applications. The dual-core PXI controller improves the performance of multithreaded applications up to 100 percent versus single-core PXI controllers with the same processor clock rate.
Fast and easy PCB plug connectors
The SPC 5 and SPC 16 spring-cage plug connectors from Phoenix Contact offer an easy-to-install and time-saving solution for wiring in PCB connection technology. Both plug connectors are designed with a combi/spring, spring-cage connector for direct tool-free connection to the PCB.
