New, high contrast OLED displays with SPI and I²C


MMS Electronics Ltd now offers four models of the EA OLED displays. The EA OLEDM204 is an alphanumeric display that functions as a 4x20, 3x20 or 2x20 display. Three graphic displays: The small EA OLEDS102-6 (102x64 pixel / 36x25 VA), EA OLEDM128-6 (128x64 / 51x31 VA) and larger EA OLEDL128-6 (128x64 / 64x37 VA). The displays are a slim design and plug into a 0.1” pitch socket or solder directly into the PCB. No ZIF sockets, fasteners or glue is required hence saving assembly cost. The displays offer excellent readability, high contrast, wide viewing angle and fast response time over the whole temperature range of -40°C to +80°C. SPI and I²C Interface. The displays have a scratch and


UV protective glass with a polarizer for a deep black background. For quick evaluation without need to write any code demo board EA 9781-1USB is available. 2 display sizes are also available with USB, check with MMS Electronics Ltd, authorised UK distributor for Electronic Assembly Gmbh for details.

High resistance and safe handling Businesses in the food industry


who want to shorten set-up times and reduce production stoppages can do so by using connectors. As a result, HARTING have developed the Han®


F+B series. The series is specially designed to provide strong resistance to detergents, function in a wide temperature range from -40 to +125° C and prevent the build-up of dirt. The housings are certified by Ecolab and have FDA 21 approvals.


Hygiene and safety are particularly important in food processing, so machines and equipment must be easy to clean. Circular shapes and smooth junctions, transitions surfaces, threads and seals were chosen for the Han®


F+B to


ensure a hygienic, easy-to-clean design and to make it harder for dirt and bacteria to accumulate.


An interface for food production must also be resistant to the water jets used to clean equipment (IP69K) and the Han®


F+B meets these


requirements. Coupling and uncoupling is fast and easy with the specially designed housing profile, which enables secure handling, even in humid environments.


If machine downtime occurs, users no longer need to open a cable gland on the control cabinet to decouple devices. As a result, costly detaching and re- establishing of hardwired connections is eliminated and machine downtimes are greatly reduced.


For secure identification, the connectors are blue (a black version is also available) and the housings can be used with hybrid contact inserts for data, signal and power. This makes it possible to configure future-proof machine design for processing units, including Ethernet. With the use of an adapter, the user can integrate a selection of Han®


3A inserts, including RJ45


interfaces, signal inserts with up to 21 poles as well as power contacts for currents up to 40 A.
