Sensor evaluation kit accelerates prototyping
The Grid-EYE Infrared (IR) Array Sensor Evaluation Kit, powered by Panasonic’s high-precision IR sensor platform for fast prototyping is in stock at element14. The evaluation kit combines Panasonic’s industry leading Grid-EYE sensor, its “nanopower” PAN1740 Bluetooth Smart Module and a microcontroller on one PCB, enabling engineers to design and develop wireless sensor prototypes quickly.
'World’s smallest' 130W AC/DC power supplies
XP Power has announced the high efficiency ECP130 series of miniature open-frame AC/DC power supplies, with safety approvals for the ITE and medical equipment markets. The units deliver the full 130 W output with only 10 CFM of forced air cooling and are also able to provide a high convection cooled rating of 100 W, eliminating the need for cooling fans.
Agreement opens door to customised Raspberry Pi
The potential of the Raspberry Pi computer has been opened up through an exclusive global deal between Farnell element14 and Raspberry Pi Trading. The companies will collaborate to offer design and manufacturing services to OEM customers to create bespoke designs based upon the Raspberry Pi technology platform.
VATN LCDs offer alternative to OLEDs
A high quality, high contrast alternative to standard STN and FSTN LCD’s is offered by Midas Display’s VATN LCD available now from Farnell element14. The black background and a wide choice of LED colour backlights also provides a lower cost alternative to OLED’s. The heart of VATN lies in its vertically aligned liquid crystals that align perpendicular to the viewing plane when voltage is at zero, creating a totally black backgro...
Power connectors offer current rating up to 14A
A range of high-density low mating force power connectors with a current rating of up to 14A with only a 3.5mm pitch are in stock at Farnell element14. The Molex Ultra-Fit range eliminates same-circuit-size cross mating, optimiaes space savings and facilitates ease of assembly. It is suited for applications in industrial, telecom, lighting, medical and consumer electronics.
12W plug top supplies meet Level VI specification
Meeting the forthcoming DOE Level VI and EU CoC Tier 2 energy efficiency standards, the VEL12 and VER12 series from XP Power meet the new minimum no load power consumption requirement of less than 0.1W and 0.075W, respectively. In the US the DOE Level VI standard will be implemented during February 2016 and the European CoC Tier 2 Level VI is due during January 2016.
AC/DC power supplies meet range of applications
The RAC48/OF series of compact AC/DC open frame power supplies from Recom have universal AC inputs (90-265VAC) and fully protected DC outputs that are trimmable to compensate for voltage drops on the output connections. The power supplies are now in stock at distributor Farnell element14.
The DreamBoard – the ultimate dev kit points to the trends of tomorrow
element14’s DreamBoard project was launched in October last year, where engineers created their ultimate development kit from scratch using an interactive tool on the element14 Community site. They chose from a wide range of technologies and features, including core architecture, board size, memory, processor, sensors, interface and connectivity.
