Vishay has announced a new series of Bulk Metal Foil ultra-high-precision Accutrim trimming potentiometers, approved 1-¼ in. rectilinear RJ12 style, designed to meet and exceed the requirements of MIL-PRF-22097 Char. F. For precise adjustment, the devices offer low end-to-end TCR of ± 10 ppm/°C from − 55 °C to + 150 °C, + 25 °C ref., and ± 25 ppm/°C through the wiper, load life stability of 0.1 % typical under full rated power at + ...

Amplicon has recently launched the DX series of Industrial Routers to extend its range of IP based industrial networking solutions. Amplicon's range of Industrial Routers provide a highly reliable and rugged layer 3 networking solution for Substation Automation, Transport, Marine, Military and many other mission-critical applications.

ON Semiconductor has added a new 256-tap, single-channel linear-taper device to its extensive family of Digitally Programmable Potentiometers (DPP). The CAT5140 digital potentiometer is a low-noise, reliable and space-saving alternative to DACs and mechanical potentiometers. It features an on-chip, 8-bit, non-volatile EEPROM memory, which allows designers to calibrate once and retain the wiper setting in memory on power-up. The new DPP also provi...

Measurement Computing has announced the release of a high-speed, eight-channel quadrature encoder module that outperforms everything else on the market. The high-performance USB-QUAD08 data acquisition device provides simultaneous input and decoding for up to eight incremental quadrature encoders at resolution up to 48-bits.

The DSCUSB, a compact, high performance, strain gauge digital signal conditioner with USB connectivity aimed at many applications, providing high-accuracy measurement repeatability, is now available from Celsum Technologies. A rugged metal enclosure makes the device suitable for many environments. Simply by plugging the device into a PC, data can be read in engineering units from most strain gauge bridge sensors such as load cells, accelerometers...
