Smiths Interconnect Launches SpaceNXT™ Q Series of Coaxial Cable Assemblies


assemblies. The Q cable assemblies offer many enhancements over a QPL or commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) product: they are pre-tested and qualified for the space orbit environment, readily available as cut to length, dual-terminated assemblies, and offered at cost-effective prices. The Q series is part of an initiative to create an entire range of high performance, high reliability products for next generation space applications. The SpaceNXT™ Q series currently consists of the 105Q, 190Q, and 200Q cable models which cover key performance characteristics at various frequency bands from DC to 40 GHz. They are available in standard mechanical lengths or phase- matched electrical lengths as needed. These versatile cable assemblies have low loss characteristics, are resilient to temperature variations and meet the rigorous outgassing requirements of NASA/ESA when tested per ASTM E595 standards.

miths Interconnect announces today the release of the SpaceNXT™ Q series of flexible coaxial cable


semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking the AmbiMate sensor module MS4 series from TE Connectivity (TE), a global leader in connectivity and sensors. Incorporating four core sensors on a single printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, TE’s AmbiMate sensor modules enable easy integration in a variety of host products in building automation, lighting, and smart home applications. AmbiMate sensor modules are pre-engineered and assembled, allowing manufacturers to devote valuable design resources to other important tasks. TE’s AmbiMate sensor module MS4 series, available from Mouser


Electronics, all include sensors for motion, light, temperature, and humidity, while optional additions include sensors for sound, CO2, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The modules offer multiple attachment options to easily integrate the pre-assembled PCB into the host board. The MS4 series sensor modules share a common seven position connection, allowing a single PCB footprint to accommodate every available sensor configuration.

Knitted wire mesh EMC gasket K


 www.mouser.com


nitted wire mesh is the original gasket for RFI/EMI shielding and is still one of the most cost-effective solutions. In applications where, low frequencies in the magnetic field are a problem the bulk of metal in knitted mesh gaskets make it the best performer. At 10 kHz, H field (magnetic field) it is possible to achieve a shielding effectiveness of 62 dB attenuation making it suitable for EMP electromagnetic pulse) applications, at higher frequencies such as 10Ghz, attenuation’s of above 45 dB can be achieved. Knitted mesh is very versatile as it can be knitted to any


diameter from 1mm up to 25 mm as a solid mesh or over any type of sponge rubber cord or tube therefore fine-tuning its


compressibility from hard to very soft. Rectangular sections are available and sponge or solid rubber with a self- adhesive backing can be bonded along the length of the mesh to form an environmental seal and or act as an assembly aid.

New Datapaq DP5 temperature loggers F


 01376 348115  www.kemtron.co.uk


luke Process Instruments launches a new range of data loggers for temperature profiling in short and medium-duration processes in the


electronics and paint & powder-coating industries. The Datapaq DP5 series is optimized for ovens with a low clearance and reflow solder applications. A machined-from-solid aluminum case ensures maximum protection for the electronics when used in an industrial environment. Users can pick from various profiler formats for the best match to process restrictions. The loggers are available in six and 12 thermocouple input versions. They provide a ±0.5 °C accuracy and a


±0.1 °C resolution over the full measuring and operating temperature ranges. Measurements can be started and stopped manually, via two color-coded buttons, or triggered by time or temperature. The loggers combine ease of use with excellent availability and minimal running costs: they feature a user-replaceable NimH battery pack, which can be recharged from any USB outlet or port. One 90-minute charge allows for more than 40 hours of profiling. The sampling intervals can be set between 20 milliseconds and 10 minutes.

Temperature monitoring of hazardous waste incinerator


ompetitively priced IP65 DED Cabinet enclosures are manufactured in light grey RAL7035 ABS material with solid


Fluke Process Instruments has solved this measuring task for a chemical waste incineration plant. Hazardous wastes are combusted in a rotary kiln that turns at 4 to 6 revolutions per hour. Over time, the refractory brick protecting the kiln wall degrades and has to be replaced. This used to be done in regular intervals with a big safety margin to prevent serious damage to the incinerator or even leakage of hazardous materials. Fluke Process Instruments supplied a Raytek CS210 infrared line-scanning system that is able to synchronize thermal images at speeds as low as 2 revolutions per hour. It detects temperature deviations across the entire kiln shell and provides the plant operator with information about the state of the incinerator. The kiln shell temperature ranges between 100 °C and 500 °C. Hotspots point to refractory loss or wear. The installation of the monitoring system has resulted in significant savings due to an extended operational life of the refractory and reduced downtimes.
