Latest Amphenol’s Single-pin Connector Series
Offers Higher Amperage and Lower T-rise Used by oilfield equipment manufacturers, power generation OEMs and more
Amphenol Industrial Global Operations, a global leader in interconnect systems, has introduced Rig-Lok , a series of single-pin, high amperage connectors that features its patented RADSOK technology. It has a higher amperage rating and lower T-rise and insertion/removal forces as compared to any rugged connector on the market.
Rig-Lok is ideal for use by oilfield equipment manufacturers, power generation OEMs, power distribution panel suppliers and traction motor OEMs. Unlike similar products with threaded connections, the new product is ideal for use in VFD drive buildings, land drilling, traction motors and top drive power distribution because of its secure mating mechanism.
The connector features a unique 1/4 turn reverse bayonet locking
coupling that allows for audible, tactile and visual confirmation of secure mating. Its double-dead front, finger-proof inserts help to protect the pin, as well as the socket, and enables the user to offer standard and reverse service within the same connector package.
Available with a variety of alternate keyway options, Rig-Lok prevents the inter-mating of different circuits with the panels on which they are used. The connector series is offered in two shell sizes, giving the user the ability to terminate wire sizes ranging from 4/0 AWG to 777 MCM cable, and has an amperage rating up to 1,135 A at 2,500 VDC.
Rig-Lok features rugged corrosion resistant plating with a hard coat anodized finish that is able to withstand 300 days of continuous salt spray. The ruggedised, over-molded coupling nut supplied with each connector gives users more grip when operating in harsh environments, like oilfields where temperatures go down to -40ºC. A machined aluminum cover comes standard with the RoHS-compliant connector series, providing more protection for insert and contact assembly.

Mouser First to Stock Vishay Remote Control
Code Learning IC Code Learning Made Simple
Mouser Electronics, Inc. is stocking the VSOP98260 remote control code learning IC from Vishay that is the industry's first to integrate signal detection and processing into one component.
Vishay Semiconductors VSOP98260 Preamplifier Circuit simplifies the code-learning process by amplifying and shaping the signal received by the infrared emitter already present in an IR learning application. It is designed to be used together with a photo PIN diode or IR LED as optical detector. This Vishay code learning IC is compatible with all data formats for IR remote control. VSOP98260 is immune to current caused by light sources such as tungsten bulbs or fluorescent lamps. The device’s output will accurately correspond to the carrier frequency and data burst length of the input signal. This Vishay preamplifier circuit can replace up to 17 discrete
components and is optimized for use in universal remote controllers, tablet PCs, and smart phones. To learn more about these remote control code learning ICs, go to
http://www.mouser.com/new/vishay/vishay- vsop98260.

Microchip expands Embedded Wireless Portfolio with new Bluetooth
® ® ®
There are many wireless-network designs that need to operate with very low power consumption. Examples include battery-powered home and industrial automation wireless- sensor mesh networks, as well as ZigBee RF4CE-standard-based remote controls. Microchip’s next-generation, 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 MRF24XA transceiver radio provides a very low operating voltage range of 1.5 to 3.6V and receive power consumption of only 13 mA, which enables years of battery life.
Some designers want an easy way to migrate their 802.15.4 designs to either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, in order to make them accessible from smart phones and tablets, or to add Internet connectivity. This includes applications such as wireless sensor networks, remote
monitoring/control and measurement, and M2M cable replacements for home, commercial and industrial networks. The RN XV series of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth socket modules provide agency-certified, drop-in connectivity for any XBee socket. To simplify designs, the stacks are integrated on the module, configured via simple ASCII commands, and can easily connect to any MCU via a serial interface.
Other designers want to add more extensible Wi-Fi functionality, such as a complete Web server and email, via a configurable source-code TCP/IP stack that is resident on one of many PIC microcontrollers. The new low-power and agency-certified MRF24WG0MA/MB modules connect at all IEEE 802.11b/g data rates, up to 54 Mbps, and are Microchip’s first to support a sustained throughput of 5 Mbps. This provides a footprint-compatible migration path for users of Microchip’s existing Wi-Fi modules who need greater speed or increased access-point compatibility, in addition to more features.
Bluetooth digital audio is rapidly expanding in high-volume applications such as accessories for smart phones and tablets, as well as audio sound bars. To meet this demand, designers need a cost-effective development platform that provides high-quality audio. Microchip’s 32-bit PIC32 microcontrollers provide a high-performance platform for developing quality digital-audio playback and accessories. The new PIC32 Bluetooth Audio Development Kit builds on Microchip’s existing stack-integrated Bluetooth audio module with a new low-cost, agency-certified Bluetooth HCI transceiver module based on a standard radio, AVRCP and A2DP Bluetooth profiles tailored for the PIC32, as well as both standard and advanced audio CODECs such as SBC, AAC and MP3. Additionally, this kit can be used with Microchip’s existing Made for iPod and Android stacks. Together, these elements provide a versatile and powerful development platform with a high level of customisation and flexibility.

, Wi-Fi and ZigBee products
Microchip has announced a major expansion of its embedded wireless portfolio, the Bluetooth additions include the PIC32 Bluetooth Audio Development Kit, featuring modules, stacks and CODECs, and XBee footprint-compatible socket modules with integrated stacks. The new Wi-Fi offerings comprise IEEE 802.11b/g Wi-Fi modules with Microchip’s feature-rich and free source-code TCP/IP stack running on a PIC microcontroller for greater configurability, as well as XBee footprint-compatible socket modules with integrated stacks for ease of use. Microchip is also adding a low-power 2.4 GHz radio that supports, for the first time in one chip, both the IEEE 802.15.4 and proprietary data rates (from 125 kbps to 2 Mbps), including the ZigBee, MiWi and other proprietary protocols.
