RJ Industrial MultiFeature from Harting is an updated version of the RJ45 connector, intended to save assembly time and be tough enough for industrial IoT use. The housing is metal and integrated knives automatically shorten wire strands to the correct length during assembly – although they still need to be de-shielded and un-twisted by hand. ...

CUI Devices has added miniature slide switches as small as 10 x 2.5 x 5.9mm to its portfolio. Called the MSS series, the parts have 2.54mm pin pitches and are through-hole or gull-wing solder mount with single-pole change-over switching. Rating is 12V at 500mA or 24V at 300mA, and over -40 to 85°C. Taking the MSS-102545-14A-SV-SMT ...

Nexperia has decreased on-resistance in its second-generation 650V GaN power transistors. “With Rds(on) performance typically down to 35mΩ [Tj 25°C], the GaN fets target single-phase ac-dc and dc-dc industrial switched mode power supplies ranging from 2kW to 10kW, especially server and telecoms supplies that must meet 80 Plus Titanium efficiency regulations. Branded as ‘H2’ and numbered GAN041-650WSB, they ...

ST has created three-axis linear accelerometer for “non-safety”, it said, automotive applications including anti-theft, telematics, infotainment, tilt measurement, inclination measurement and vehicle navigation. Called AIS2IH, it has user-selectable full-scales covering ±2, 4, 8 and 16g (survivable shock is 10,000g), and output data rates between 1.6Hz and 1.6kHz. There are five modes all-told, one nominally high-performance and ...

Creality has added an entry-level 2K monochrome resin machine to its 3D printer range. Resin printers create solid objects from a vat of liquid photo-polymer using ultra-violet patterning. In the sub-£1,000 market, these printers have rapidly converged to designs where the active layer of the print is at the transparent bottom of a vat, illuminated from ...

Films of the two-dimensional material hexagonal boron nitride can be used to control light emission from materials, according to the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (Smart). The phenomenon involves the creation of ‘Moiré superlattices’ as two films are rotated with respect to one-another, and works at room temperature with films made from stacks of atoms around 100nm ...

How can anyone persuade an array of lasers to emit a single-mode coherent beam? was the question being asked by a team of US researchers. “One seemingly straightforward method to achieve a high-power single-mode laser is to couple multiple identical single-mode lasers together to form a laser array,” said University of Pennsylvania scientist Liang Feng. ...
