There are three types of plugs with mated heights of, H2.5, H2.0 and H1.5, as well as two types of vertical PCB receptacles with good electrical performance up to 6GHz.
Aimed at applications such as low- to mid-power LED lighting systems, Fairchild’s primary-side-regulated LED driver with power factor correction. The device delivers constant brightness and instant flicker-free turn-on of LED lighting. The new low-power LED lighting driver is built for a variety of 5W to over 60W, indoor and outdoor LED applications so that designers can easily overcome the challenge of meeting global standards and regulations for LED lighting with a single, scalable solution, says the company.
PIL has announced availability of its new P43 distance-measuring ultrasonic sensors. Applications include object recognition for agriculture and fluid levels, distance measuring for trucks and loading ramps, level sensing in dusty conditions, parking lot detection/barrier monitoring as well as a variety of other industrial and manufacturing applications. The PIL P43 ultrasonic sensors provides the industry’s greatest range – from 250mm to up to 6000mm, says the company.
The rugged Molex ML-XT sealed connector system is cost-effectively offers superior reliability. The ML-XT system’s plastic housing and seal are moulded using a one-piece design, which is not only economical but also highly-reliable. Permanent bonding using two-shot liquid silicone rubber (LSR) moulding technology ensures IP68 ingress resistance as well as immunity to loss or misalignment of the seal. Accurate alignment ensures repeatable retention during unmating and mating of the plug and receptacle.
