Compact connectors save space in aerospace
The new Nanonics connectors from TE Connectivity are now available to European customers through TTI. Qualified to MIL-DTL-32139 specifications, these new two-row Nanonics connector assemblies are an important addition to TE Connectivity’s nanominiature rectangular product line. The small form factor and narrow footprint of this ultra-compact interconnect family saves space and weight in applications such as aerospace, defence, commercial a...
Position sensors deliver over 10m shaft rotations
Designed to operate reliably over a minimum of 10m shaft rotations with no signal output degradation, TT Electronics has unveiled a series of high-performance multi-turn non-contacting rotary position sensors. The MagnePot 8150 series are suited for applications in high-reliability markets such as industrial, medical and aviation/aerospace.
Probes head off oxide layer build up problems
A range of probes are the answer to poor first pass yield, short probe life and excessive cleaning cycles, when caused by oxide layer build up or debris, particularly in lead free applications. In volume manufacturing the impact worsens as cycle count increases and elevated levels of debris are transferred to the probe tips. In many applications effective electrical contact is compromised.
Connectors target mil/aero applications
ThePCD Luminus series of interconnect solutions from Amphenol are engineered to support highly reliable low-to-moderate-power and communication signal transmissionin military and commercial aerospace applications.The lightweight, cost-effective series, now available at CDM Electronics, comprises a range of connectors, receptacles, contacts and accessories in various configurations and arrangements to provide unparalleled design and installation f...
Development kit slices through cost, design complexity
The latest addition to Arrow’s growing portfolio of development tools is the Arrow-builtSF2+ Development Kit, featuring Microsemi’s SmartFusion2 system-on-a-chip (SoC) field-programmable gate array (FPGA), Timberwolfaudio processor and LX series power devices. The SF2+ Development Kit is ideal for both software and hardware engineers looking to jumpstart next-level integrated designs.
Drone training solutions to IRM industry
An exciting new joint venture has been announced between drone training solutions provider, UAV-Air, and Rigg-Access, to introduce drone training solutions to the survey industry.
3D printed trainers made from trash
Coinciding with theParis climate change agreement, Adidashas shown off its new trainers. Made of a combination of plastic found in the ocean, recycled polyester, and fishing nets, these sustainable shoes were 3D printed. For now, they’re just a prototype, but this collaborative effort with Parley for the Oceans shows what can be done with all the man-made waste drifting in our seas.
GaN RF power transistors come in 10 to 200W ratings
Ampleon has announced the extension of its portfolio of GaN RF power transistors based on a 0.5um HEMT process technology. Comprising 10, 30, 50 and 100W devices, over ten transistors are currently available suitable for multiple applications such as drivers up to C band, through to 100 and 200W push-pull packages for use in final stages up to S band.
Advancing drive current in vertical 3D NAND memory devices
At the IEEE IEDM conference last week, imec showed the integration of high mobility InGaAs as a channel material for 3D vertical NAND memory devices formed in the plug (holes) with the diameter down to 45nm. The new channel material improves transconductance and read current which is crucial to enable further VNAND cost reduction by adding additional layers in 3D vertical architecture.
Graphene could contribute to new generation of aircrafts
Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Materials (BIAM) has become the latest partner of theNational Graphene Institute(NGI), based at the University of Manchester, to promote the research and development ingraphenereinforced aluminium matrix composites areas, and accelerate the application of graphene in the aviation industry and other sectors.
