Intelligent power modules
The iNTERO™ intelligent power module integrates the power stage with an embedded driver board (EDB) that delivers functions such as programmable drive control, current sensing, isolation, gate driver, and power stage protection. Using advanced IGBTs enables easy assembly of the EDB on top of the power stage to provide a compact solution in the footprint of the industry-standard Econo-Pack package. The iNTERO is suited for industrial motor and servo drives. International Rectifier, www.irf.com. Enter 623
Terminal blocks
Cage Clamp Compact 742 Series PCB terminal blocks supply an option for either a knife disconnect or an automotive mini-fuse. With a pin spacing of only 5 mm, the modular 742 Series is available with a single conductor, or with two or three conductors. Additional features include jumper capabilities and the use of test plugs. WAGO Corp., www.wago.com. Enter 624
Position sensor
Temposonics® R Series Pro-fibus DP sensors now include a simultaneous position and velocity sensing capability. The unit's interface enables simplified sensor installation and servicing, enhanced diagnostic capabilities, and error-free transmissions over a high-speed serial data link. The DP sensors offer position resolutions down to 0.0002 inch and velocity resolutions down to 0.04 inch/sec. The product line offers up to 33-ft strokes with longer strokes available.

Illumination products
Diffuse lights, diffuse axial lights, ring lights, spotlights, line lights, and others provide backlighting and darkfield illumination. The lights are available with 660 nm (red), 880 nm (near IR), white, or RGB (red, green, and blue) illumination. The RGB options allow the intensity of the red, green, and blue LEDs to be individually controlled. Targeted applications include machine vision, microscopy, and inspection systems.

Digital storage oscilloscope
The WaveMaster digital storage oscilloscope can capture very high speed signals up to 5 GHz bandwidth and provide sophisticated measurements using a new patent-pending architecture called X-Stream. The front end of the X-Stream starts with silicon germanium (SiGe) amplifiers and ADCs which track the incoming signal, digitize it at 10 GS/sec on each of four input channels, and stream data to CMOS memory chips with up to 48 million points of acquisition.

Terminal block
The WKN 70 terminal block provides a grounded connection for gauge wires from 6-2 AWG. It is constructed of a polyamide 6.6 plastic housing that is rated to UL 94 V-0 standards for non-flammability. Each block is manufactured with a universal DIN rail mounting foot, and the ground connection is made immediately upon installation. The WKN 70 is suited for three-phase power supply applications. Wieland Electric Inc., www.wielandinc.com. Enter 628
Connectors
The micro circular plastic connector (CPC) accommodates between 12 and 19 contacts. The connectors are available in wire-to-wire, wire-to-board or wire-to-panel versions based on a 13.5 shell size (135/16 of an inch in diameter). They are suitable for applications in medical equipment, instrumentation, and industrial equipment. Tyco Electronics, www.tycoelectronics.com. Enter 629
Photocouplers
High-speed photocouplers provide isolation voltage exceeding the published 5 kV specification by using a patented double transfer-mold construction technology. These photocouplers can transfer data at up to 25 Mbps, are offered in SOP5 and DIP8 packages, and also feature aluminum shield/base separation for higher noise immunity.
