Heat engine operates on single atom
An article in the latest edition of the journal Science describes an alternative form of heat engine that operates using only one single atom. The engine is the result of experiments undertaken by the QUANTUM work group at the Institute of Physics of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) in collaboration with theoretical physicists of Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU).
Solderless connectors eliminate PCB headers
A new concept in PCB connection technology has been introduced by RS Components with the introduction of the SKEDD SDC 2,5 series of solderless direct wire-to-board connectors from Phoenix Contact. SKEDD technology from Würth Elektronik, and further developed by Phoenix, uses push-in spring contacts manufactured to fit PCB hole geometries perfectly. No soldering or press fitting is needed.
Lots of power in a small package
With a transmission speed of 16A at a nominal voltage of 630V, Hummel’s new M12 Power plug connector is helping miniaturisation in automation engineering to take a major step forward.With the launch of this compact power connector, HUMMEL AG is opening the door to new applications of M12 technology.
PushPull connectors are suitable for cameras & sensors
HARTING’s PushPull 20-pin connectors extend the HARTING V4 range and are designed to meet the needs of a wide range of camera and sensor applications. They can be loaded with up to 2A per contact which is more than enough for camera technology and to power various types of sensors. Using a joint cable to supply both power and effect signal transmission saves additional wiring – and therefore costs – for the customer.
Lightweight patch antennas suited for space applications
This work investigates the characteristics of the antenna of this type on composite PCB in terms of manufacturing techniques and tolerances, mechanical and thermal performance. The objective is to validate that the designs are capable of offering stable radiating characteristics, whilst providing high structural strength with low mass. The results are compared with the ones on conventional builds, and have demonstrated attractive properties that ...
Miniature connectors for mechanically demanding applications
In response to market demand for connectors for increasingly smaller, decentralised control and drive technology, HARTING has introduced har-flex THR variants designed to meet the demands of harsh industrial conditions. These new connectors also achieve new levels of industrial grade miniaturisation without decreasing reliability.
