Industrial connector gets metal cover
Yamaichi's Y-Con series is known for its IP69K protection level, and now there is an additional metal cover available which also enhances the mechanical protection should it be required. The Y-ConCover-30 can be retrofitted to existing cable assemblies by simply screwing the two metal covers together. The screws are made from stainless steel, and the robust cover from high-quality die-cast zinc.
High Density Interconnect Arrays
TTI Europe, the specialist distributor of passive, connector and electromechanical components now has available new SEARAY high density interconnects from Samtec. Part of the SEAM/SEAR series, the new devices have the same footprint, providing a solid grid of contacts on 1.27mm pitch and up to 500 I/Os. They also complement Samtec’s popular SamArray series connectors delivering added features and stack heights.
Constant-current LED driver IC with PWM control
The A6280 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe is a new 3-bit constant current LED driver which enables users to minimise the number of components needed to drive LEDs with large pixel spacing. The new driver controls LED luminance using a pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme which gives the application the capability of displaying up to one billion colours. An external resistor is used to set the overall maximum current, which can be set over a wide ...
20kW high voltage power supplies from HiTek
HiTek Power has added the OL20K 20kW family to its range of high voltage power supplies, offering output voltages from 60kV to 200kV and beyond. The eight members of this family have been built to meet the requirements of ion beam and electron beam systems. In addition to standard units, the supplies can be customised to meet specific requirements. Each system consists of a converter, in a 6U, 19 inch rack-mounting unit, and a separate high vol...

Yuasa Battery will present its widest ever range of industrial batteries for security and fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, CCTV, UPS and OEM electrical equipment applications at IFSEC 2007 (May 21st to 24th 2007, NEC Birmingham). Yuasa, a leading global manufacturer of valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries, has worldwide manufacturing plants and an extensive marketing and distribution network throughout the UK and Europe.
Xenon filled lamps said to burn brighter for longer
A new range of Xenon-filled, wedge-based lamps manufactured by CML-IT is now available from Rapid. Designed for use in a variety of automotive, gaming machinery, aviation, signalisation and architectural applications, the latest Xenon lamps are currently available in three different models: 41-0766 (14V 3.4W rating, T10 size, 10000 hour life), 41-0768 (12V 5W rating, T10 size, 3000 hour life) and 41-0770 (12V 6W rating, T10 size, 1000 hour life).
8-Bit Microcontroller Product Range
Microchip announces the 12-member PIC18F87J11 high-performance 8-bit microcontroller family, offering greater performance (up to 12 MIPS at 48 MHz), enhanced peripherals and lower standby power consumption. The new family includes nanoWatt Technology for low power consumption in sleep mode (as low as 100 nA) which is ideal for battery-powered applications. The new devices are also the first Microchip 8-bit microcontrollers to offer the Parallel M...
Low-cost development package for NXP (Philips) LPC range of ARM processors
A complete low-cost development package for the NXP (Philips) LPC range of ARM processors, consisting of an evaluation and experimental board, a GCC compiler, a JTAG interface, an IDE and debugger, as well as a host of application examples, is now available from Computer Solutions.
Low-cost ColdFire development board with integral GCC compiler
The P&E DEV5213CF development board, now available from Computer Solutions, is an ideal low-cost evaluation kit for developers of projects using the ColdFire MCF5213 processor. Despite the low cost of only £80, the board comes complete with a development package including a GCC compiler, making it equally useful as a development platform or as an introduction to any ColdFire processor or to the GCC compiler.
RoHS compliant connectors offer military performance
A new CEEP circular connector has been introduced to meet the increasing requirement for connectors that are RoHS compliant while meeting the demanding levels of performance expected from a military qualified product.
