Aiming at digital signage, vending and retail, Display Technology has introduced Litemax’ Circle LCD, a round 23.6inch diameter display. Called SCD2365-Y, it has an MTBF of 100,000 hours and is sunlight-viewable at 1,000cd/m2. Claimed contrast is 600:1, and the resolution is 1,920 x 1,920 – presumably only across certain diameters (=596.16mm). Viewing is across 178° horizontally and ...

Power Integrations has AEC-Q100 automotive-qualified an isolated gate driver for 750V-rated IGBTs. Called SID1181KQ, the device used the firm’s high-speed FluxLink isolation technology, which is based on bond wires and chip-packaging polymer. It “dramatically improves the reliability and isolation capability of gate drivers, replacing optocouplers and capacitive or silicon-based inductively coupled solutions,” claimed the firm. De-saturation monitoring ...

Voltcraft VC-337 is a slim-jawed current clamp optimised for measurements in control cabinets with terminal blocks and narrow cable spacing. “While the wire to be measured has to be pulled out of the cable duct when using other current clamps, the VC-337 simply grips between adjacent wires. This is possible because the measuring gap of ...

Microchip has announced what it claims is industry first space-qualified Ethernet transceiver – a radiation-tolerant device based on a COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) chip. Called VSC8541RT, according to Microchip it is a single-port Gigabit Ethernet copper PHY with GMII, RGMII, MII and RMII interfaces. That said, the firm also said “100M limited bit rate VSC8540RT is ...

Panasonic is claiming a record – the world’s smallest 2pole safety relay with power contacts on both normally-open and normally-closed sides. It is 33 x 14.0mm, by 7.8mm tall (including 0.5mm stand-off), and called the SFM series – which have forcibly guided contacts according to EN61810-3. Forcibly guided means that if one contact welds, the other cannot close. ...
