Mixed grid connectors for power and signal transmission
For applications with integrated power and signal transmission company Fischer Elektronik offers mixed grid connectors in grid patterns 2.54/5.08 mm and 2.00/5.08 mm from now on. The nominal currents for the power contacts are 8.2 A each. With the signal contacts nominal currents of 3A (grid pattern 2.54) and 2.5 A (grid pattern 2.00) are possible.
The mixed grid connectors from grid pattern 2.54/5.08 mm are available as a THT version with part description „SL 26 SHK…“ and as a SMD-Version „SL 27 SHK … SMD...“. The mixed grid connectors
with the grid pattern 2.00 / 5.08 mm are available as the straight version SLY 13 SHK…“ and the angled THT-version „SLY 14 SHK...“.
As preferred number of contacts the mixed grid connectors are available in both grid patterns with 12 signal contacts and 2 high-power contacts with a gold-plated contact surface.
Lascar – inventors of the USB Data Logger
Believe it or not, there was once a time before USB conquered the world, when connecting any sort of data recording equipment to your PC risked turning into a lengthy and frustrating process, even if you had the right hardware to hand. But back in the early 2000s, Lascar’s engineering team realised that USB was set to revolutionise data connectivity.
The company had already developed advanced versions of its panel meter range that logged data as well as displaying it. So why not make the leap to a pure data- logging product, one that thanks to USB would just plug-in-and-go? The simplicity of these temperature data loggers prompted an obvious choice of brand name for the new range: EasyLog. But it wasn’t until after the EasyLog range hit the market that Lascar realised it had created a world- first: the USB data logger.
Fast-forward to today and EasyLog offers the widest range of data loggers from any single manufacturer. The original USB range has expanded to cover parameters including temperature, humidity, voltage, current, events and carbon monoxide. Some models have internal sensors, others make use of probes to record at a distance, but all are as easy to use as ever.
The EasyLog USB range had only been around for a few years when Lascar took their next innovative step, this time into WiFi. In developing not only a new range of wireless loggers, but also their own EasyLog Cloud service, Lascar became an IoT/Industry 4.0 provider before either term was even invented. Again, the WiFi product range quickly grew to cover a number of models and parameters, and the EasyLog Cloud now carries data from tens of thousands of individual devices.
But effective solutions don’t always lie in increased complexity – sometimes simplest is best. In the last two years Lascar has launched the Cold Chain series of single-use loggers: pre-configured devices that start logging with the touch of a single button. Models are available ready to use for both the Food and Pharmaceutical markets, and custom configurations can also be provided.
Lascar has always understood that data has value, and in reducing the barriers of cost and complexity it helps people and companies around the world to record, safeguard and share the data that matters to them.
And of course, there’s always more innovation on the way.

ES Press HMC connector combines rapid termination technique with high mating cycle capability for frequent
insertion and removal The new Han ES Press HMC (High Mating Cycles) connector series from HARTING combines the facility to be installed quickly without tools with extremely robust construction that allows the devices to handle at least 10,000 mating cycles.
The quick connect technology used in the Han ES Press HMC involves the contact inserts being equipped with a pre-tensioned cage clamp which is triggered by an actuator. If the actuator is pushed into the contact chamber, the cage clamp returns to its original position and secures the conductor end. To release the connection, a screwdriver need merely be pushed into the actuator and the lever moved to the transition to the insulating body. The spring then releases the end of the conductor once again – for de-installation or when replacing components, for example.
The suitability of the Han ES Press for a high number of mating cycles has been achieved by fitting the contact inserts in Han standard housing sizes 6 B to 24 B. The standard housings are already available in versions with locks and seals optimised for high mating cycles. Complementing this arrangement, the contacts and grounding elements are extremely resistant to abrasion due to a special surface coating.
A key benefit of the Han ES Press series is its ability to withstand vibrations well, which results from the tightness with which the conductor fits as a result of the constant pressure of the cage clamp. In addition, installation and connection times are reduced when compared to conventional cage clamps, screw connections or hard wiring techniques. On-site installation time is reduced, and the ability for rapid disconnection facilitates servicing.
www.harting.com/UK/en-gb Could it be time to upgrade your LCD to OLED?
Our new range of character OLED display modules are designed to be 100% compatible with many of today’s industry standard chip-on-board character LCD modules allowing for an easy upgrade to OLED and its superior technology. With an on-board driver compatible with the original Hitachi HD44780 the OLED module can be quickly and easily swapped into your application.
The range starts with an 8-character x 2-line module and includes four different 16 x 2 modules plus 16 x 4, 20 x 2, 20 x 4 and 40 x 2 modules all available in either white or yellow. Our OLED display modules offer a superior optical performance over STN/FSTN LCD due to their high brightness (100cd/m²), high contrast ratio (10,000:1) and a ultra-wide viewing angle of 180°. Plus with a superfast response time of 10 s and an extremely wide operating temperature of -40 ~ 80°C, OLED has a clear advantage over traditional LCD modules.
