Elgin, Ill. – HARTING has expanded the Han-Yellock line of modular industrial connectors with the introduction of a smaller size. The Han-Yellock 10 can fit both rectangular and circular panel cut outs, allowing direct replacement of circular connectors with a panel cut out diameter between 28 – 30 mm. It joins the Han-Yellock sizes 30…
DetailsRaleigh, N.C. – Stackpole Electronics introduces the HCS Series of shunt resistors that offer high current handling and lower self-heating. The shunt resistor series use a solid metal element that is elevated off the mounting plane, which increases the ability of the part to dissipate the heat into the ambient air and not into the…
DetailsFountain Inn, S.C. ‒ AVX Corp. has added high temperature X8R and X8L dielectric components to its high-reliability APS Series of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) applications. Extensively tested using many of the MIL-STD test methods as used in MIL-PRF-55681, the APS Series MLCCs exhibit an ultra-low field failure rate of <1ppb.…
DetailsDallas, Tex. – Orion Fans has introduced a cost-effective airflow monitoring system that provides a simple alternative for indicating airflow in AC or DC fan/blower applications. The AFM Series module operates an optical LED or audible alarm when airflow falls below 8.2 ft/s due to fan filter clogs or foreign materials coming in contact with…
DetailsLaird has introduced a new series of miniature thermoelectric modules (TEMs) built using Laird Tlam thermally conductive circuit boards instead of traditional ceramic-based circuit boards. The Tlam OptoTEC series is designed for applications where temperature stabilization of sensitive optical components in photonics, telecom, medical and consumer markets is critical. The company said the use of…
DetailsSimi Valley, Calif. — Hirose has extended its DF62 Series of slim in-line connectors with the introduction of two new versions with unique plug/socket shapes. The enhanced DF62 Series of wire-to-wire connectors feature a pin layout arranged in a 2.2- x 2-mm grid pattern reducing the diagonal diameter by 50 percent, which makes it well…
DetailsRichmond, Va. – Targeting industrial and heavy-equipment providers, ERNI has expanded its high-current power element series to include combined flexible/massive press-fit and purely massive press-fit technologies. The high power wire-to-board connectors with press-fit terminations provide a gas-tight interface to the PCB via, eliminating the need for high temperature soldering and its negative effects on the…
