I/O interface

With LED status indication

The e2C interface is designed for passive actuator/sensor distribution boxes for the company's e2C product line. Allowing a user to connect passive distribution boxes to the e2X system via an M23 connection, the product features the same bus system independence and is designed to be used across all e2C compatible bus systems. It handles either eight inputs or eight outputs and can also be used to connect multi-port valve manifolds to an e2C network. Lumberg Inc.http://rbi.ims.ca/3843-583

PCB LED indicators

Rugged housings

Weighing 3.5 oz and operating on a 3.6V lithium battery, the product has a reported working service life of three to five years. Dresser Instrumentshttp://rbi.ims.ca/3843-587

LDO

Microcontroller reset function

The TC1302A/B integrates two low-dropout regulators (150 and 300 mA), while the TC1301A/B also has a microcontroller reset function. The company asserts that combining these parts into one device will require fewer passive and discrete components for the products, and will reduce the amount of board real estate, lowering overall project cost. Additional features include an over-current limit, an over-temperature protection, and low crosstalk between the voltage output channels. Microchip Technology Inc.http://rbi.ims.ca/3843-588

White LEDs

Up to 50-degree viewing angle

Made for high temperature indoor and outdoor environments, the UW3804X and UW5805S white through-hole LEDs deliver a luminous intensity of up to 2000 mcd. Designed with an InGaN die for superior brightness, the products are available in either a 3- or 5-mm package. They are ideal for applications, such as indoor/outdoor displays, indicators in appliances, automotive, signs and symbol illumination, and medical devices.

Sensor

Sorts parts, detects object orientation

Ultralinear(TM) analog prox technology was created to combine prox sensor toughness with a highly linear analog feedback signal (without an external switching device) proportional to target distance from the sensor face, providing resolution down to 1.5 microns. The product enables a variety of process control and positioning applications to be solved, such as the measurement of distance, thickness, concentricity, circularity, wobble, and deflection. It also allows the detection of object orientation; part sorting by size, shape, or material; and monitoring thermal expansion of ball screws and shaft imbalance on rotating machinery.

Data bus transformer

High electrical performance

The 4260-1646 and 4260-1647 series data bus transformers have a minimum input impedance of 3,000V or 7,200V over the full temperature range of up to -55 to +130C. They support a wide range of instrumentation, data collection, and communications equipment, and feature common mode rejection at 45 dB minimum and droop at less than 20 percent. Both products are available in flat-pack through-hole and compact surface-mount packages; they are also available in both single and dual packages.

Fiber optic panel

Simplifies assembly

The UniGlo(R) is designed to improve the backlighting of the control panel LCD used in portable instruments for locating underground cables and pipes, while allowing the manufacturer to assemble the device quickly. The RD4000Rx receiver operates by sensing the electromagnetic field produced by underground cables and pipes. The control panel is a backlit LCD that reduces power consumption and improves reliability. The product reportedly provides an operating range of -40 to +80C.
