ADVERTORIALS
HIGH POWER AND FREQUENCY CHIP TERMINATIONS IN A COMPACT, LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN
series optimized to combine high frequency and power in a small package. The new CTX Series is designed to offer
S
excellent broadband performance up to 64GHz. It allows wider coverage than traditional components while providing optimized return loss for multiple band ranges and applications. This allows the customer to use a single chip in multiple applications, reducing the cost of ownership. “Higher frequency, reduced footprint,
increased power rating and the capability to produce in high volumes makes our new terminations a unique offering in the marketplace, suitable for SATCOM applications, 5G broadband requirements and Defence systems”, says Paul Harris, VP of Sales and Marketing.

3000W AC/DC MEETS SEMI F47 SUITABLE FOR SEMICONDUCTOR EQUIPMENT AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
enclosed power supply is available from Components Bureau, this new addition to the FETA series is designed with Cosels advanced built in digital microprocessor technology. Safety approved to UL62368-1, C-UL (CSA62368-1), EN62368-1. The new FETA3000BA includes
N
active current sharing, making it simple to parallel up to 10 units for extra power or redundancy, without adding any other external components. The FETS3000BA series integrates a very sophisticated voltage and current balance control. This simplifies system integrators tasks when connecting units in parallel or series. It offers an efficiency level of 93% as it includes an active filter and uses a phase shift. Designed for integrated industrial applications in 1U height, the FETA3000BA measures 102 x 41 x 340mm [4.02 x 1.61 x 13.39 inches] (WxHxD) and weighs 2.3kg max.

HIGH-DENSITY THERMOCOUPLE SIMULATION MODULE LAUNCHED BY PICKERING INTERFACES
P
ickering Interfaces, a leading provider of modular signal switching and simulation for
electronic test and verification, has launched a low voltage output module ideal for simulating the operation of a thermocouple. The 41-761 occupies a single PXI slot yet can provide up to 32 independently-isolated channels of thermocouple simulation. With ranges of +/-20mV, +/-50mV and +/-100mV it is suitable for simulating any thermocouple type. Available with a choice of 32, 24, 16 or 8
channels, the 41-761 is part of a growing family of thermocouple simulators from Pickering. Each channel provides a low voltage output across two connector pins capable of providing ±20mV with 0.7µV resolution, ±50mV with 1.7µV resolution and ±100mV with 3.3µV resolution, covering most thermocouple types. The use of two wire outputs and isolation from ground ensures that the 41-761 can be used to accurately simulate low voltages even in the presence of common mode voltages in the system. Each simulation channel can provide an open circuit setting to simulate faulty wiring connections to a sensor

LABFACILITY & THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE T
ew from Cosel the FETA3000BA 3000W AC/DC
he UK’s leading manufacturer of temperature sensors is set to expand its operations in South Yorkshire after securing a six figure lending package from NPIF – BEF & FFE Microfinance, which is managed by
Business Enterprise Fund (BEF) and Finance for Enterprise (FFE) and part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund.
The funds provided by Finance for Enterprise will be used to help Dinnington-based Labfacility acquire the adjacent 6,000 sq ft premises to its existing manufacturing and stores facility as it targets future growth within the export sector. The property has been secured on a 10 year lease and will increase the size of the company’s site to 18,000 sq. ft.
Responsible for producing a range of more than 5,000 temperature instruments, sensors, and couplings, Labfacility manufactures more than a million products each year which are sold in 120 countries across the globe and used in the engineering, pharmaceutical, aerospace, oil & gas and food production industries.
In recent years the company became mindful of the potential uncertainties caused by delays in Brexit. Working closely with growth accelerator manager Jim Scott, the company began exploring international growth options in markets which would be largely unaffected by the current political uncertainties and began exploring non-EU markets. Export orders now account for over 25% of the company’s sales, resulting in regular orders being placed by businesses based in the US, China and Australia.
However, in order to meet demand, Labfacility knew it needed additional working space. When a neighbouring unit became available the company turned to Finance for Enterprise for help, recognising that a quick deal was needed in order to help it achieve its future growth plans.
