Vishay has added five solenoid-based haptic actuators to its IHPT range, which come with operation licenses from Immersion Corporation. There are four sizes, from 29 x 21mm to 44 x 37mm, that can provide forces up to 120N. Not immediately obvious from the photo, each transducer us in two parts: the top left part is a separate laminated metal bar ...

Surrey UK based Cliff Electronics has created versions of its DualSlims FeedThrough connectors to suit the North American market with #4-40 (UNC) threaded mounting holes. The connectors measure 19 x 35.5mm (17.15 x 22.86mm panel cut-out = 0.675 x 0.9in), allowing up to 20 connectors to be mounted across the front of a 1U, 19inch rack panel. Mounting holes are ...

Aaeon has announced 85.6 x 90mm industrial single-board computers with Intel Processor N-series (Alder Lake-N) CPUs. Called ‘UP Squared 7100’, there is a choice of Processor N97 or N100. Atom x7000E or Core i3 N-series can also be fitted to special order, and the board will also be compatible with Atom x7000RE (Amston Lake) CPUs starting from Q1 2025, said Aaeon. ...

Fortec UK is to distribute an Aaeon Pico-ITX board with a NXP i.MX8M Plus processor, which has quad 1.6GHz Arm Cortex-A53 cores. Called Pico-IMX8PL (PICOIMX8PL-A10-0001) and measuring 72 x 100mm, the “board delivers exceptional computing power and versatility in a remarkably compact form factor”, said Fortec. To this, the on-board machine learning accelerator adds 2.3 Top/s. Memory includes 2Gbyte of LPDDR4, ...

Lumissil Microsystems has created a pair of LED drivers that include a 32MHz 8051 microcontroller. “These new controllers enable lighting engineers to create customised dynamic LED lighting animations tailored to their system requirements,” according to the company. “They feature integrated non-volatile memory to store animation sequences and LED parameters, essential for dynamic lighting effects such as colour transitions, pulsing, fading ...

Panasonic has produced a range of micron-accurate industrial distance measuring sensors. Unlike its earlier similar sensors, digital output devices in the new HL-G2 series include interfaces for both Ethernet and RS-485 in each unit, selected by the cable used to connect them to the host system. They can communicate using EtherNet/IP, SLMP (seem-less message protocol), Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU. ...

Moxa is aiming at industrial Ethernet with Layer 3 rack-mount switches. There are two types of MRX Series 64 port Layer 3 switches (left in photo): MRX-Q4064 have 16 and up to 48 2.5Gbit/s ports MRX-G4064 have 8 10Gbit/s Ethernet ports and up to 56 Gbit/s ports “Commercial Ethernet switches are seldom tailored for industrial applications,” said Moxa product manager ...

XP Power has introduced a range PCB-mount PSUs that will run from 85 to 528Vac. There are 5W (EHL05) and 20W (EHL20) types, all single output, with 3.3, 5, 9, 12, 15, 24 or 48Vdc outputs depending on version. There is a choice of open-frame or encapsulated (see photo) packaging, and efficiency is typically between 82 and 88% – 3.3V ...

Microchip has announced its first 64bit processors, picking the RISC-V instruction set for the initial parts: an octa-core for space and a industrial quad-core. Although, “future PIC64 families will include devices based on RISC-V or Arm architectures”, said the company. PIC64-HPSC is the family name of the space processors, which have come out of a 2022 deal with NASA to ...

Recom has announced a series of 140W single-output ac-dc mains power supplies that can handle 210W for ten seconds. The RACM140E-K series offers a choice of 12, 15, 24, 36 (136.8W rated) or 48Vdc depending on model. The input range is 80-264Vac and they measure 147 x 81.5mm – either 38mm tall for the open frame versions or 40mm enclosed ...
