New generation of modular connectors from Stäubli cuts assembly and maintenance costs
Global marine electronics
specialist brings DeviceNet specification cables &
connectors to wider market
upon DeviceNet specification. This makes their robust and reliable ‘cable and connector’ range available to the wider electronics industry for use in any industrial application that uses DeviceNet. CEO of Actisense, Philip Whitehurst, said: “We originally
T
developed our range of NMEA 2000 cables and connectors for the marine sector that we have served for over two decades. These products, however, have a much wider potential and have been celebrated as amongst the most robust, hard-waring, and reliable on the market. We hope to develop closer relationships in the wider electronics sector so that we can share our award-winning products with them and to also collaborate with their industry knowledge to build ever-smarter solutions.” For more information about the A2K network range

he A2K Network Range from global award-winning marine electronics manufacturer, Actisense, is built
by Stäubli features a Click-and-Connect system that enables all parts to be quickly assembled manually without the use of any special tools. With a light, modern design incorporating the highest level of safety
D
features, they can be fully customised to meet customer requirements. Each carrier and frame is coded, eliminating any possibility of assem- bly error or incorrect polarity mating between male and female connectors. All configurations, whether for panel mount or housing applications, ensure a constant and reliable connection
for signals, power and pneumatic coupling for up to 10 000 mating cycles. Throughout this life cycle, the quality of the contacts remains at the highest possible level, providing constant low contact resistance and stable perform- ance even in the presence of shock and vibration.

Power Integrations targets compact smart-lighting designs with highly efficient GaN-Powered LYTSwitch-6 LED Drivers
family of safety-isolated LED drivers for smart lighting applications – the LYT6078C. This new LYTSwitch-6 IC uses Power Integrations’ PowiGaN™ gallium nitride (GaN) technology to deliver efficiency and performance benefits, demonstrated by the new design example report (DER-920) the company is also announcing today. The PowiGaN-based LYT6078C IC incorporates a 750 V power switch and delivers flicker-free output up to 90 W with other members of the family pro-
P
viding up to 110 W. Including both the PFC stage and the LYTSwitch-6 LED driver, system efficiency exceeds 90%. Housed in the miniature InSOP-24 surface-mount package, LYTSwitch-6 ICs are protected by an advanced thermal fold-back system, which reduces output power to limit device temperature during abnormal conditions, while still providing light output. All LYTSwitch-6 ICs exhibit fast transient response and easily support pulse-width-modulation (PWM) dimming.

esigned to cut assembly and maintenance costs to the minimum, the new CombiTac direqt family of modular connectors introduced
attice Semiconductor Corporation today announced a Single Wire Aggregation IP solution for reducing overall
system size and BOM cost in industrial, consumer, and computing applications. The solution is a quick, easy, and innovative way for developers to use low power, small form factor Lattice FPGAs to dramatically reduce the number of board-to-board and component-to-component connectors in their embedded designs to increase reliability and reduce overall system footprint and cost. The connectors used to link circuit boards and modules in
electronic systems are costly, take up valuable space in devices with tight form factors, and over time can degrade and negatively impact system reliability. Routing signals between multiple connectors on space-constrained circuit boards can create design challenges that increase overall time-to-market.

High frequency surface mount chip terminations offer excellent broadband performance
products announced today the release of its new CTX SMT series of high frequency surface mount chip terminations. The new CTX SMT Series is designed to offer excellent broadband
S
performance up to 67GHz, allowing for wider coverage than traditional components and providing optimized return loss across the frequency band. Its patented layout provides substantial power handling in a small, lightweight package, up to 1 Watt CW of input power, thanks to its thermal paths. “Higher frequency, reduced footprint by as much as 4 times, patented layout, and the capability to produce in
high volumes make our new terminations a unique offering in the marketplace”, says Paul Harris, VP of Sales and Marketing. The results have confirmed that CTX SMT design and RF performance are ideal to support RF and microwave
applications in Defence, Space, Aerospace and 5G broadband demanding market segments. Smiths Interconnect

Quantum Design UK & Ireland Partner,
Lake Shore Cryotronics, has acquired Janis Research
the acquisition of Janis Research’s Laboratory Cryogenics business by Lake Shore — a move that unites two of the world’s leading providers of cryogenic and material charac- terisation solutions for low-temperature research. The acquisition enables QDUKI to offer Janis Research
Q
liquid nitrogen (LN2), liquid helium (LHe), and closed-cycle refrigerator (cryogen-free) cryostats, LHe and cryogen-free superconducting magnet systems, cryogenic and cryogen- free probe stations, and various lab cooling systems. “This is a great brand to bring under the Quantum Design
UK and Ireland product portfolio,” said David Want, Managing Director, QDUKI. “The Janis range compliments our Cryogenics offering and the markets we serve very well.” Founded in 1961, Janis Research began as a manufacturer
of LHe transfer lines and soon expanded its product offering to include cryogenic research equipment, ranging from sim- ple LHe storage Dewars to sophisticated superconducting magnet and low-temperature systems.
