The RX2G from Radiometrix is a miniature PCB mounted UHF radio data receiver module which is offered in 433.92MHz (UK band) and 434.42MHz (European band) models. It is an updated version of the company's popular RX2A receiver, and incorporates a received signal strength indicator (RSSI). With the matching transmitter (or transmitters), this receiver allows the simple implementation of data links (in either one-to-one and multi-node topologies) at...

Furthering its commitment to merge 16-bit MCU performance, ultra-low power and ultra-low cost to overcome shortcomings of 8-bit MCUs, Texas Instruments today announced its new MSP430™ MCU Value Line LaunchPad development kit. For $4.30, the open source kit includes all of the hardware and software needed to easily launch designs based on TI’s MSP430 Value Line MCUs, which start at 25 cents and offer up to 10X performance and 10X battery life ...

Omnitrol Networks and Texas Instruments announced today an alliance to deliver a radio frequency identification (RFID) real-time traceability solution for printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing applications. The new offering, which integrates Omnitrol Networks’ Work-in-Process visibility software and TI’s Gen 2 chip technology, provides electronic and contract manufacturers a highly automated method of simultaneously identifying and track...

TES Electronic Solutions SA (TES), an independent full-service electronic design and manufacturing company, today announced the acquisition of the assets of eDFX Services, creating the first TES design centre in the USA. This allows TES to offer local design support in the USA as well as enhancing the company’s design resources. This acquisition increases TES’s global design resources to more than 500 design engineers in 17 design centres ar...

LEM has introduced the LAX 100-NP, a miniaturised PCB-mounting transducer for the measurement of currents up to 100ARMS. This new Closed Loop Hall-effect sensor can be configured, by means of the primary connections on the PCB, to measure currents up to 16.67, 25, 33.33, 50 or 100ARMS. Its design simplifies integration with power modules in drive and inverter designs.

LEM has extended its range of current transducer families designed to operate from a single +5V power supply with the introduction of the HMS model. The new unit measures only 16 (L) x 13.5 (W) x 12 (H) mm and integrates a primary conductor. It is directly surface-mounted onto a printed circuit board, reducing manufacturing costs.

Jennic says it has achieved a new price point for ZigBee and IEEE 802.15.4 nodes with the introduction of a low-cost reference design for its JN5139 wireless microcontroller which reduces the volume bill of materials (BOM) cost of modules for wireless sensor networks to well under $5. This includes the cost of the Jennic JN5139 wireless microcontroller, a high performance PCB antenna design, and all other ancillary components.

Various solutions have been developed for protection from electrostatic charge and to combat it effectively. One major problem exists where a plug-in board has been tested immediately prior to insertion into a live system under hot-swap conditions. Rittal now have alternative solutions to combat the discharge under these circumstances.

Rittal has introduced two ranges of guide rails for Printed Circuit Boards which can be made to suit any depth of PCB insertion. Utilising plastic end pieces which include a funnel entry to ease PCB insertion, the new guides can be equipped with clips to discharge static charges from the board prior to full insertion. The end pieces are simply pushed into a central aluminium section which can be varied in length to suit any application.

Rittal’s wide range of subracks, all branded under the Ripac banner, provide users with multiple options for housing several printed circuit boards or plug-in modules in a 19” rack environment. Ranging from the Ripac EASY with simple, non-EMC construction and ultra-quick assembly to the highly competitive Ripac Vario EMC for more sophisticated applications, the whole range shares common accessories, such as guide rails and divider kits for u...
