Pluggable Weidmüller 2.5mm BLF Omnimate signal connectors offer high signal density in a compact form factor - now available at Astute Electronics Time-saving, reliable Push In connection technology for optimal handling
Now available at Astute Electronics, the leading supplier of electronic components and value added services, the new OMNIMATE 2.5mm (AWG12) push in spring interconnect system from Weidmüller is a compact, functional connection solution designed especially for controls, I/O systems and signal interfaces in drive technology. OMNIMATE Signal BLF 2.50 and SL2.50 connectors combine a very small footprint with easy handling and excellent functionality.
The new BLF 2.50 OMNIMATE signal plug-in connector and the associated SL 2.50 male connector is a Low Mating Force (LMF) system featuring a space-saving design optimised for wire cross-sections of up to 0.5mm and a pitch dimension of 2.5mm maximum. Its speedy Push In connection system saves valuable time thanks to an integrated pusher which makes opening the contact point easier. A further feature is an additional test point which enables user-friendly service measurements on the device. The SL 12.50 male header has two available outlet directions in various device designs to ensure accessibility even in confined spaces.

Easily add smart home capabilities with Silicon Labs’
zigbee reference designs, now at Mouser Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking two new zigbee®
connected home reference designs from Silicon Labs. The zigbee smart outlet reference design and zigbee occupancy sensor reference design help developers of home automation devices accelerate time to market and reduce system cost and complexity with best-in-class zigbee mesh networking technology. By leveraging these turnkey reference designs, developers can quickly advance from design concept to final product with pre-certified wireless technology, open-source hardware design files, and industry-standard software stacks while also taking advantage of proven test setups and manufacturing methods.
The Silicon Labs zigbee connected home reference designs,
available from Mouser Electronics, are pre-certified by the FCC and UL and include all of the hardware, firmware and software tools required to create feature-rich, future-proofed connected home products based on Silicon Labs’ robust zigbee “Golden Unit” Home Automation (HA 1.2) software stack and Mighty Gecko wireless system-on-chip (SoC) portfolio. Both designs also incorporate Silicon Labs’ Si1141 ambient light and Si7021 temperature/relative humidity sensors for detecting changes in environment.
The smart outlet reference design is a complete, pre-certified solution for a wirelessly controlled outlet plug that can be used to power and control a wide range of home and building automation products. Powered by an AC main-voltage line, the smart outlet communicates wirelessly to zigbee mesh networks and includes built-in diagnostics and metering with a user-friendly web interface for wireless control and current/voltage monitoring.

AWS Group extends the life of customer assets
In a tough economic period, AWS Maintainance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) Centre provides real customer options
Many companies under pressure for investment decisions often defer buying new, opting instead to keep their older legacy equipment going for longer. Against this backdrop, AWS has seen further growth in its dedicated repair centre, where it supports not only its mainstream customers with warranty, repair and overhaul, but also third party repairs.
AWS has extensive electronics and engineering experience that encompasses the whole product life cycle from concept, design and prototyping, through production to end of life support.
The AWS Maintenance Repair & Overhaul Centre offers:
• A dedicated repair facility with expert engineers in diagnostic, test and repair.
• Reverse engineering – AWS is able to re-engineer solutions where replacement components are not available or original design data has been lost.

OMC unveils a rainbow of next-generation LED
OMC, the pioneer in optoelectronics, announces it has developed a new technology that enables a whole rainbow of new LED backlight colours to be produced, including magentas and blue-greens. Previously the only way to achieve non-standard LED colours was to use RGB colour mixing, which involves three times as many chips, complex wiring and requires drive circuitry to control the relative channel levels. OMC’s new series of profiled backlights with Active Reflector Technology™ produces a striking range of vivid, next-generation LED backlight colours, and gives designers far greater creative choice and flexibility.
OMC’s proprietary Active Reflector Technology™ utilises photon wavelength upconversion to produce a wide range of rich colours and pastel shades. OMC’s new ART series backlights are available in crimson red, rose pink, a strong red-orange, bright orange, amber yellow, pastel yellow, high brightness yellow/green, vivid green, deep green, electric green-blue, a classic rich LED blue and a strong, bright shade of magenta. ART series backlights use only one wavelength of emitter per backlight, so there is no requirement to mix multiple LED wavelengths, reducing design complexity and lowering costs.
As a specialist manufacturer of LED backlights, OMC can produce bespoke shapes, sizes and colours as standard, with no set-up costs for most designs and very low minimum order quantities. Designers can have samples in as little as a few days. Next generation ART LED backlights suit multiple applications, including illuminating liquid crystal displays, logos, badges, signs and many more.
