Sensortechnics’ HDI sensors measure absolute, differential or gage pressures in various ranges from 10 mbar up to 5 bar. The HDI series features 3 V supply versions which are ideally suitable for battery powered applications, e.g. in portable or handheld devices. HDI pressure sensors perform precision digital signal conditioning and achieve ultra high accuracies with an excellent Total Error Band (TEB) better than ±0.5 %FSS over a temperature ...

ZF Electronics UK has announced two new angular position sensors: the AN1 series intrinsically linear angular position sensor and the AN8 series thin angular position sensor. Both the AN1 series and AN8 series have custom programmable outputs and suit a wide number of applications.

Optek's new miniature reflective object sensor provides medical electronics designers with an enhanced sensing range in space-constrained applications. Infusion and transfusion pumps and medicine dispensing equipment are two of the medical applications benefitting from Optek's new OPB733TR reflective object sensor.

Honeywell announced the introduction of new high-sensitivity Bipolar Latching Hall-Effect Digital Sensor integrated circuits (ICs) for use in a variety of transportation, industrial, commercial, and medical applications.

ALPS ELECTRIC EUROPE GmbH revealed today its new HGDFPA006A magnetic sensor that allows for the industry’s longest detection distance in determining whether home appliance covers and doors are open or closed. Sample shipments are to commence from April 2010.

ZMDI introduced the ZSSC3053, a pure differential sensor signal conditioner (SSC) for high-accuracy amplification and sensor-specific correction of millivolt-level DC sensor signals. Based on proven functionalities of ZMDI's well known sensor signal conditioner portfolio, the feature-optimized ZSSC3053 offers the highest sensor accuracy at low cost. The chip is adjustable to nearly all resistive bridge sensor types and is ideally suited for micro...

Murata's ultra-tight tolerance versions of its market-leading chip NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor series, the NCP series. ±0.5% tolerance versions are now available with consumer, industrial and automotive temperature ranges. These ±0.5% tolerance chip NTC thermistors are the first of their kind to be developed and offer a low-cost alternative to IC-based sensing solutions when high sensing accuracy is required.

The new Cherry VN1015 series of digital vane sensors from ZF Electronics are designed for applications which require robust repeatable sensors immune to moisture and dust. These digital sensors are magnetically operated, so there are no mechanical contacts to wear out, ensuring extra-long product life and reliability. Models in the VN1015 series are available either with 3-pin sink output or with 24 AWG terminations and will cope with operating...
