IC
The GeniPS2™is a single IC that allows legacy Human Input Devices (HIDs) to connect to a system's Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. While many mobile systems offers only one USB port, the GeniPS2 allows this one port to accommodate both basic HIDs without the need for a hub. Recommended applications include medical, industrial, and other vertical products. The unit can also be "hot-plugged."

Air
filter
These dual EMI/RFI Honeycomb air filters are intended for use in medical electronics enclosure applications. Designed to be compact and removable, they address the concern raised by possible contamination with large fan openings. They reportedly trap and absorb EMI noise while maintaining 95 to 99% openness for minimal airflow impedance. Also, because they are not permanently fixed, they can be removed and cleaned.

Power
supplies
With UL508 approval, the S82J power supplies can be used at their 100% rating in control panel applications; panel builders do not have to de-rate the capacity of their power supply by 50% to avoid overheating in the panels. Power ratings range from 10 to 600W and output voltages include 5, 12, 15, and 24V. They can be DIN-rail mounted or installed directly into the panel. The switching power supplies are available in open-frame, covered-frame, or enclosed-frame models.
