Esprit Electronics 02380 455411 russello@espritelectronics.com UK made: Pump maker buys Seaward production tester


Sunderland-based Salamander Pumps has turned to Seaward Electronic of County Durham for production line test equipment. Salamander decided to move electrical safety testing into


post-assembly test while re-shaping its manufacturing operations to meet the needs of different pump types, some of which include electronics. The automated test solution it developed uses a Seaward HAL


104 programmable tester to provide a suite of electrical safety tests and data traceability, integrated with a custom test jig with automated test connections.


When a pump assembly is located into the jig, pre -


configured codes automatically enable earth continuity and insulation tests, followed by a hipot (flash) test. Safety interlocks protect the operator. Automatic electrical testing is followed by pneumatic


testing to verify the integrity of the seals, then functional and performance testing. “We have worked with Salamander for a number of


years, and helping our customers integrate our products into bespoke production lines is a challenge that we are always happy to take on,” said Seaward application engineer Anthony Snowdon.

Embedded ARM Core Front Panel Solutions from ITRON (U.K.) LTD


Embedded ARM Core Front Panel Solutions from ITRON (U.K.) LTD Itron’s powerful ARM-9 based embedded TFT modules provide serial interfaces to link host and peripheral devices using USB, RS232, Async, SPI, I2C, CAN and Ethernet. Most ports double up as general I/O with IRQ functionality. Our embedded solutions allow design engineers to move application processing into the TFT module which reduces host overhead and enables easily manageable communication speeds. The host overhead can send raw data to the TFT module for the operating system to process and synchronise display refresh, navigation and peripheral control.

High-efficiency ceramic capacitors of the KONNEKT™ series from KEMET at Rutronik


KONNEKTTM is a high-density package technology interconnecting components without using metal frames - reducing ESR, ESL and thermal resistance of capacitors. The C0G has no DC bias, no piezo effect and show only


minimal C-value change over temperature (+-30ppm/°C); particularly suitable when maximum efficiency is required. Available for temperatures up to 150°C, in the range of 14- 880nF and voltages from 500 to 2000V. The U2J uses a Class I ceramic material with a


temperature coefficient N750 (-750+-120ppm/°C), extending the possible C-value range compared to C0G to 940nF and 1.4μF at voltage 50V. The X7R is designed for higher capacitance and voltage


requirements. The latest generation of sizes 1812 and 2220 also features flex termination. As a Class II component, it features minimal capacitance change (±15%) at an ambient temperature of -55°C to +125°C. Values range from 2.4nF up to 20μF and voltages are possible from 25V to 3000V. Most parts are available in horizontal and vertical chip arrangement - the „low loss“ variant, achieving


further improvement in ESR/ESL values and making higher ripple currents possible. Predestined applications are e.g. WBG, SiC-/GaN-systems, Power Converters, Wireless Charging/ PV systems, Inverters, DC-Link and Snubber.

0.1°C accurate digital temperature sensor


MMS Electronics can improve product temperature accuracy by using the Smartec SMT172 sensor. The SMT172 is a digital, factory calibrated, high accuracy temperature sensor with pulse width modulated output signal. PWM output sensors have high noise immunity and high reference accuracy. The sensors are easy to interface and multiplex. The duty cycle output of the SMT172 is proportional to the temperature. Accuracy of the TO18 sensor is 0.1ºC between - 20ºC to 60ºC and 0.4ºC between -45 ºC and 130ºC. Maximum temperature is 130ºC. Supply voltage from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. This is the most energy efficient temperature sensor in the world with an average current of < 60uA or 220nA. Different sensor packages are available to suit the application including a 5mm and 7mm stainless steel probe with cable. For fast development evaluation boards with USB and I²C Interface are available (SMTAS04 and SMT172toI2C). Application are found in biotechnology, wearables, IOT, scientific, environmental and medical measurements.

Flexible, accurate, slim & resilient Semitec’s Gymnastic NTC thermistor


If a thermistor could be likened to any sport at the Olympics, then the Semitec JT thermistor would be a gold medal winner in gymnastics! The JT can literally bend over backwards to solve your temperature sensing problems. A worldwide winner, the Semitec


JT has been used extensively in many spacesensitive applications including skin/surface sensing, various wearable technologies including bloodglucose monitors, prismatic & pouch batteries and CPU/IC monitoring. Slim but strong, the JT thermistor is only 0.5mm thick at its sensing tip (thinner than a credit card)


making it the thinnest flexible NTC available world wide. The temperature sensing element is protected/laminated between two polymer layers making it flexible and resilient at the same time. This flexibility allows the JT’s sensor to be placed much closer to the heat source helping to deliver optimum temperature control. The Semitec JT can also operate in extreme temperatures from 50°C to +125°C with highly accurate


1%R25 tolerances and resistance values of 10k and 100k. In addition, the JT thermistors have excellent electrical insulation and so can be safely used where they might come into contact with adjacent live components. Contact us for comprehensive technical advice, samples and bespoke customer solutions.
