TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION


rownell has developed a Versatile Moisture Adsorbing Polymer with the versatility to be injection moulded.


Advertorial


Versatile Moisture Adsorbing Polymer B


This can be used as a practical alternative to conventional desiccant solutions for preventing condensation and corrosion within virtually any product or packaging. This Mouldable desiccating agent ensures an excellent level of clean drying, in a wide variety of products from electronics, machinery, optics and instruments to pharmaceuticals and food. Low dusting, with no risk of loose desiccants from broken bags, the board is not water soluble.


Uniform in High Power NXP600 Resistors J


an 2012 Pulse Power & Measurement Ltd., Swindon UK with EBG Resistors Austria, has launched a new High Power NXP600 Resistor. High Power, Compact and Configurable,


that’s


what you get from PPM Power with EGB’s latest high power resistor NXP600. With up to 800W as a single resistor, between 2 x 250W and 3 x 120W in 7 alternative configurations, this makes the NXP600 the most flexible high power resistor on the market. Its thick film METOFILM technology gives high power and high pulse loading capability. Designed for variable speed drives, power supplies and all manner of motor control, it can be run at 5kV DC and offer <10pC partial discharge capability. This low inductance design is constructed in accordance with UL94-VO.

WAGO's new PCB terminal strips W


enter 801


AGO has expanded its range of PCB terminal blocks with the launch of a new family of compact terminal strips with pushbutton


operation. The 2081 Series is suitable for conductors from 0.2mm2 to 1.5mm2 and features CAGE CLAMP®S connection for simple, push-in termination of solid (up to 1.5mm2) and ferruled conductors (up to 1mm2). Integrated front pushbuttons, positioned next to the conductor entry, simplify connection and disconnection of all conductor types. Available in 2 to 12 pole configurations, each 3.5mm pitch terminal strip is available with straight solder pins (staggered) or right angled solder pins (inline and staggered). The strips can be assembled next to each other without loss of poles. These terminal blocks are rated at 160V, 17.5A while the version featuring staggered solder pins is rated at 320V (IEC/EN). The flush design of the 2081 Series makes it ideal for through-panel mounting applications.

Time-to-market is key


he rapidly changing field of electronics and software is constantly creating new niches where good ideas can flourish and businesses can make money. The excitement of new development should be tempered by the thought that if you come to market late you may actually lose money. A recurring feature of neophyte designers is to

he brand new DisplayTouch range of projected capacitive touch monitors (P-CAP) brings optimum touch technology to screens up to 42”.


With touch technology provided by one of the largest and most successful global providers,


DisplayTouch offers proven durability, usability and a peerless pedigree. Ideal for any environment where a reliable, accurate and fast touchscreen experience is needed, the DisplayTouch range is equally suitable for a wide range of applications including entertainment, information and retail. Two point touch supports all the touch features of Windows 7 including zoom, rotation, scroll and


gesture. Units are available in both 4:3 and 16:9 ratio with sizes from 15-32” with a 42” coming shortly. The P-CAP technology offers several advantages over resistive and surface capacitive options, namely a capability of recognising touch signals at different touch points, a faster response time, much lower ‘signal drifting’ and enhanced sensitivity to increase longevity. All DisplayTouch units are available as either finished monitors for standalone desk or wall mounting, and open frame for incorporation into kiosks or OEM chassis.

concentrate on the “core” of the project – a part that is difficult but satisfying to complete. This is often a tricky bit of software, or the integration of a new IC. For electronics specialists, thinking about the housing of the design is not fun and the search for suppliers does not begin until after the electronics prototype exists. The result is often a board that has components right up to the edges or connectors on three sides. The secret to reducing the time-to-market of your product is to choose an enclosure before you start the electronics. If you size your prototype board to fit, then you can be showing potential customers a completed product before the first production boards have even been made. Our customers choose Lincoln Binns because we have design engineering capability, we can advise you through the enclosure process and you can usually have a prototype housing with connector holes and printing in a week.
