ZF gain NCKL2/8 approval for D4


microswitches In the last few years new refrigerants have been developed which are more environmentally friendly. Despite this huge advancement, there is the possibility that they can become flammable in certain conditions. These new refrigerants are increasingly integrated within domestic white goods including refrigerators, ice machines, heat pumps and air conditioning units.


Therefore, components such as the ZF D4 switches already used in those products have now to be ignition protected.


ZF Friedrichshafen AG was approached by some of its global customers to gain this new UL certificate for NCKL2/8 approval to bring their products in line with new standards for ignition-protected components.


Telonic Instruments presents SIGLENT


ZF Friedrichshafen AG are pleased to confirm approval has been received for the UL certificate for NCKL2/8 applying to the D4 range of versatile miniature snap switches.


Technologies new Flagship 1 GHz Oscilloscope The new SDS5000X Oscilloscope series is available with a bandwidth up-to 1 GHz, a maximum sample rate of 5 GS/s, and a maximum acquisition memory of 250 Mpts. It features powerful data analysis and measurement features and is well equipped to solve the complex challenges of embedded circuit design.


SDS5000X-series is available with bandwidths of 350, 500, and 1 GHz, features a maximum sample rate of 5 GS/s, 250 Mpts of acquisition memory and a waveform-update rate of up-to 110,000 wfm/s. To help maintain high test speeds, many of its waveform analysis features are implemented in hardware.


The SDS5X includes a full digital trigger with qualified and zone triggering to help isolate faults more quickly. This technique enables a highly sensitive and accurate trigger control. It also includes a new low noise front end that delivers an industry leading vertical sensitivity of 500 µV/div, making the SDS5X a perfect tool for debugging small signals.


One of the best features of this new platform is the usability. The scope includes a large 10.1” touch screen that includes gesture operation and a clear layout that makes the scope extremely easy-to-use. For example, setting up the zone trigger is as simple as drawing a square with your finger.


For multi-domain analysis, the oscilloscope has hardware-based frequency analysis utilising up- to 2 Mpts for the FFT-calculation. This deep memory FFT provides higher frequency resolution than many other FFT based systems. Furthermore, the SDS5X can be upgraded to include MSO/16 digital channels and an external 25 MHz arbitrary waveform generator at any time.


For serial bus troubleshooting, the SDS5X includes free decoding on all low speed serial buses (RS232, CAN, LIN, and I2C) and can be upgraded with decoding kits for more specialised buses (CAN-FD, I2S, FlexRay and MIL1553B) at any time. The scope also features bandwidth upgrade options that give you the flexibility to get the performance you need at a price you can afford.

Problem solved: Discontinued passives and


long lead times with current components To help engineers and buyers in the Electronic Components Industry with End-of-Life (EoL) issues and today’s long lead times for current products, BEC Distribution has announced the availability of direct alternatives to TOKO/Murata, Coilcraft, Vishay and Sumida lines, with short lead times of 6-8 weeks, where most manufacturers are currently working on 16-30 weeks.


BEC’s range of EoL replacements and pin-for-pin replacements for current passives includes: shielded power inductors, multi-layer ceramic chip inductors, radial peaking coils, open wire-wound chip inductors and thin-film chip inductors.


Typically, large component manufacturers discontinue product lines after 5-10 years. This can have a potentially disastrous impact on customers whose products have longer expected lifetime eg Aerospace, Medical, Surveillance or Defence industry equipment. The availability of BEC’s component replacements will far exceed 10 years.


BEC Distribution’s EoL component supplies will be a lifeline to R&D engineers and buyers, where components have been designed into their product lines. With a stock of 15m passive components and franchised distribution agreements with quality alternative component manufacturers, BEC can provide high quality, pin-for-pin direct replacement or alternatives. If the required components are not in stock, then BEC will track down and source matching alternatives, ensuring that EoL issues will not hinder customers’ projects.


With support from BEC, engineers and buyers alike can plan ahead right from the beginning when components are first used or when they are designed-in, ensuring that EoL does not necessarily mean end of supply or support.


BEC Distribution offers drop-in alternates for most manufacturers including Toko, Sumida, Murata, TDK, Coilcraft, Cooper, Bourns, Vishay, Wurth… etc.
