The VAL-U-LOK connector system from Tyco Electronics is a low-cost, wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connector system with 4.2 x 4.2 mm centreline. This connector system finds use in a variety of applications, including the HVAC, vending, gaming and appliance industries.

The new Industrial Mini I/O connector system from Tyco Electronics features two points of contact to maintain performance and increase reliability in high vibration environments. The compact connector, approximately one-fourth the size of a traditional RJ-45 plug, includes a latching system designed to protect the plug from pull-out during high vibration or collision.

High-reliability interconnect company Harwin has announced that its MIL-C-5015-style commercial connector series has been improved for increased ease-of-use. Compatible with other MIL-DTL-5015-style devices, the new C90 connectors feature re-styled rear flanges and end-bells to deliver a more streamlined profile.

Harwin has announced the addition of a wide range of compact jumper sockets / shunts to its popular 1.27mm pitch Archer pin header range. The jumpers can be used to eliminate switches from PCBs saving money and increasing reliability.

The challenge is to build machines that can help humans work in, and explore space. Working side by side with humans, or operating where the risks are too great for people, machines like Robonaut - a humanoid robot designed by the Robot Systems Technology Branch at NASA's Johnson Space Center in a collaborative effort with DARPA - will expand our ability for construction and discovery. The Robonaut project has adopted the design concept of an ant...

Analog Devices released for general availability the ADIS16136 tactical grade isensor digital MEMS gyroscope, which provides 3.5o/hr typical bias stability in a matchbox-sized module consuming less than 1 watt and weighing only 25 grams. The new tactical grade (below 10o/hr bias stability) iSensor MEMS gyroscope operates autonomously and requires no user configuration before producing precise and accurate rate sensing data, quickly enabling preci...

Maxwell Technologies has announced Power-type versions of its BOOSTCAP "D-Cell" ultracapacitor cells, packs and modules to provide high-performance, "life-of-the system" alternatives to batteries for automotive electrical power network stabilization and industrial applications.

Form-in-place (FIP) gaskets have been part of the mainstream enclosure industry for many years but the cost and physical size of robotic application has been a major constraint for SMEs – until now. Those clever people at Intertronics have focused on bench-top robotics and matched compliant gasket materials to provide low cost equipment to suit boxes or housings from 200mm x 150mm, e.g. junction boxes, terminal boxes, control boxes, electronic ...

Intertronics will display their expertise in adhesives for disposable medical device manufacturers at Medtech in April (6-7th) at the NEC. Along with UV, cyanoacrylate and epoxy adhesives, Intertronics will show UV curing equipment, dispensing, application and mixing equipment.

Ramtron has announced the availability of its 4-megabit (Mb) F-RAM memory in a streamlined FBGA package. The FM22LD16 is a 4Mb, 3-volt, parallel nonvolatile RAM in a 48-pin ball grid array (FBGA) package that features fast access, virtually unlimited read/write cycles and low power consumption. Pin-compatible with asynchronous static RAM (SRAM), the FM22LD16 targets industrial control systems such as robotics, network and data storage applicati...
