48” TFT-LCD Display Spanpixel series suitable for Transportation projects
N
transportation displays. Display Technology Ltd
ew from Litemax, the SSD4805-Y from the Spanpixel (LCD resizing) series. The 48” TFT-LCD display offers a
very wide screen, suitable for sunlight readability and displaying informative messages, promotional content and high resolution imagery. Standard LCD displays come with standard aspect
ratios, which would not fit in spaces such as on-board train cars, taxi tops and much more. The 48” wide screen features aspect ratio 16:4 and resolution of 3840 x 720. The
screen works to 1000nits and has improved power efficiency LED backlighting. The new model has an operating temperature of 0°C ~ 50°C making it suitable for an enclosed environment like

Aerco and Oxley Developments positioned to supply filtered connector solutions to Electromagnetic challenges
E
lectronics Systems designers need to protect their systems from dangerous EMI signals and also to
guard against unwanted emissions from their systems. In applications ranging from Aerospace, Telecommunications, Military and Civil control equipment filtered connectors are used to provide that protection. In most design circumstances specific frequency ranges must be filtered, so customer filters are
needed. However, most applications use standard connector ranges to interconnect equipment. The Oxley solutions from Aerco can be delivered through many Mil-spec connector ranges including MIL-DTL-38999 and MIL-DTL-26482 as well as ARINC and D-type connectors. Options include filtered extensions added to standard connector shells or filters integrated into custom-manufactured shells.

New beam angle LEDs from OMC focus light precisely for demanding high-intensity applications
O
MC, the pioneer in optoelectronics design & manufacture, has introduced two new surface-mount
LEDs, an ultra-narrow 15 degree beam LED and a 60 degree beam LED. Both new LEDs are produced by OMC in a range of package styles, beam angles and all popular LED wavelengths, plus infra-red versions. The two new devices join the SMD emitter series launched by OMC in late 2018, which includes a 30 degree output beam device that has proved very popular. The two new SMT LEDs provide designers with even greater choice and flexibility for a very wide range of applications, including signalling, indication, sensing and communications applications.

Customer Efficiency with Probe Heads for Wafer Level Testing
N
ew Volta 200 Series Offers Easy Maintenance of Spring Probe Technology for Finest Pitch Wafer Test
Addressing an ongoing industry need to improve wafer
test production efficiency and reduce overall cost of test, Smiths Interconnect announces today the launch of its Volta 200 Series Probe Head. A departure from cantilever and more traditional
vertical probe technologies, the Volta Series enables quicker test set-up time and on-line cleaning & maintenance while assuring impeccable site to site planarity. These benefits are a result of using spring probe contacts and a proprietary engineered housing material. “The semiconductor packaging industry continues to
evolve as demands increase for complex functional integration at the smallest possible form factor,” says Paul Harris, Sales & Marketing VP at Smiths Interconnect.
