With a variety of different housings, features and electrical specifications, these new Cherry position sensors are designed to suit a wide range of applications, including door position sensing, flow sensing and pedal switches, and provide reliable operation and long product ...

The latest version of Murata's pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensor is the world's smallest at just 5.0 x 4.7 x 2.4 mm, enabling the sensor to be used in compact, low profile electronic devices and equipment. The IRS-B210ST01-R1 is also the only surface-mount PIR sensor on the market. It features high sensitivity and signal to noise ratio, excellent stability against temperature changes and white light and enhanced RFI immunity.

Penny + Giles, designer and manufacturer of high precision position sensors and manual controllers has expanded its family of JC120 single axis joystick controllers with the addition of new mechanical features contained within the existing joystick design.

ZF Electronics has launched a new range of Cherry magnetic proximity sensors which combine market-leading performance, robustness and affordability. Developed specifically to meet the requirements of a broad range of OEM products from heavy trucks to medical devices, these Cherry magnetic proximity sensors are suitable for the most rigorous environments, including extremes of temperature, humidity, thermal shock and vibration.

Honeywell has announced two Hall-effect digital position sensors - the SS345PT and SS445P Unipolar Hall-effect Digital Position Sensors - that reduce total system cost for customers by having built-in pull-up resistors, eliminating the need for customers to purchase an external pull-up resistor.

Inertial Aerosystems has introduced a high performance single axis angular rate sensor designed for the most demanding commercial applications. Designated the SDG1000, it is manufactured by U.S. based Systron Donner Inertial.

Honeywell has announced the SS351AT and SS451A Omnipolar Hall-Effect Digital Position Sensors that can be operated by a North pole or a South pole, eliminating the need for the magnet polarity to be identified, which simplifies installation and can reduce system costs.
