Servomotors are an integral part of today's automation industry, but traditional circular connections prohibit the miniaturization of such motors due to connector size and the need to isolate power from signal lines.
ITT, Electronic Components has developed innovative technology in the CMX connector series...
Monitoring and managing are becoming ever more important aspects of our modern world. Nowhere is this more important than within buildings where sensors are being deployed to monitor and manage the environment in which we live and work as well as provide security and management of energy usage.
However, despite the...

The use of power supplies in harsh, remote environments brings with it many fundamental design issues that must be fully understood if long-term reliability is to be attained. For designers of communications equipment downtime is not an option. Both revenues and safety can be compromised under such circumstances.

CCDs are ideal for very low light imaging applications, such as astronomy, clinical diagnostic testing, and bioluminescence. The compatibility of the CCD with very long integration times, and facility for noiseless on-chip charge binning, makes it a very sensitive imager.
It remains very competitive for certain applications...
Why is it that seemingly similar power supplies have significantly different performance and reliability characteristics? The answer may lie in the specification detail that can be missing from some data sheets, available only in the long-form data/application notes or may even be due to “specmanship”.

The large variety of motor technologies and corresponding control schemes available today to the design engineer and the dramatic pressure to reduce development time in industrial projects have created the need for performant design tools which allow to realise, already at a level of preliminary simulation, the complete...
Whether you are a consultant designing a new cabling infrastructure for a new costumer or an IT manager who is tasked with designing a new datacenter, choosing the best cabling system for a premise LAN or a datacenter can be a daunting task. Fortunately, there are industry standards and best practices to help select and...
As factory automation systems become more intelligent they will move data acquisition, storage and processing out to the edge of the network, enabling real-time machine controls and management. Factories will be smarter and more connected. These “edge nodes” will predict, then prevent failures before they occur...
Trade-off between best attenuation effectiveness and minimum leakage current.
Network filters (EMC filters) are often regarded as a Blackbox and, justifiably, the user doesnt concern himself with its inner workings. However, for the effective use of filters, it is advantageous to have some background knowledge. The...
QMatrix devices are digital charge-transfer (QT) ICs designed to detect touch using a scanned, passive matrix of electrode sets to achieve a large number of touch keys driven by a single chip.
This configuration leads to a high pin count efficiency in the sensing chip and allows for a small number of connections between...
Solid State Relays and Contactors (SSRs) have been available in one form or the other for over 40 years. Traditional Electromechanical Relays and Contactors (EMRs) as well as Mercury Displacement Relays and Contactors (MDRs) have been available even longer.
However, current Environmental regulations now make the future...
Reducing energy consumption and improving efficiency are targeted outcomes for most power electronics applications, especially in motor control drives, uninterruptible and switch-mode power supplies, and in industrial uses such as welding.
One company developing innovative transducer-based solutions for these challenges...
Test engineers spend as much as 50 percent of their time (or even more in some cases) actively dealing with obsolescence in their test program sets.
Read about different solutions in the marketplace to help you overcome the challenges you face today.
