Pickering Electronics SIL/SIP reed relays handle higher continuous carry currents to 3A


Highest quality switches with sputtered ruthenium contacts suit low level ‘dry’ switching


Pickering Electronics, the reed relay company which has pioneered miniaturization and high performance for over 50 years, has launched the Series 100 HC high power SIL/SIP reed relay that is rated for 1A switching at up to 40W and up to 3A continuous carry current. Featuring the highest quality instrumentation-grade switches with sputtered ruthenium contacts, Series 100 HC relays are suitable for low level or ‘dry’ switching applications. Commented Kevin Mallett, Technical Specialist at


Pickering Electronics: “The Series 100HC offers over double the coil resistance of other similar products and the continuous carry current specification of 3 Amps can be increased in pulsed current applications.” “The higher coil resistance also results in reduced heating giving Series HC reed relays a thermal EMF performance less than 10μV,” he adds. Series 100 HC high power SIL/SIP reed relays feature an internal mu-metal screen to minimize issues that


would otherwise be experienced due to magnetic interaction when they are closely stacked. Devices are available with 5, 12 or 24V coils with optional internal diode and with one or two switches in a single package. The new high power SIL/SIP reed relays are suitable for high power applications, and in many cases


may be used as an alternative to mercury wetted reed relays. More information is available at https://www.pickeringrelay.com/reed-relays/sil-sip-100-110/series-100hc-high-carry-current/

New range of stainless steel push-button enclosures for hygienic applications from Hammond Manufacturing now available through Powell Electronics


Designed to withstand high temperatures and high pressure wash-downs


Powell Electronics, the supplier of connectors and more for high- rel applications including defence, aerospace and industrial, now has the new HYPB range of IP69/IP69K stainless steel push- button enclosures for hygienic applications from Hammond Manufacturing in stock. Ideal for applications where maintaining hygiene standards and avoiding contamination are of high importance (e.g. in food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing), HYPB range enclosures have been designed for use with hygienic pushbuttons and withstand regular high temperatures as well as regular high pressure wash-downs. They also have no areas (like slotted screw heads, quarter turn latches or welded mounting brackets) where contaminants can gather and all sides slope to ensure any water quickly drains off. Available with 22.5mm and 30.5mm holes with either a single row of one, two, three or four mounting holes, two rows with four holes arranged in two rows of two or two rows with six holes arranged in two rows of three, HYPB series push-button enclosures benefit from a rectangular design enabling the units to be surface mounted either vertically or horizontally to suit most applications. The cover is secured to the body with crevice-free hex head bolts fitted with a silicone washer to eliminate potential dirt traps. The blue "hygiene" coloured silicone gasket makes any contaminants more visible and is fitted beyond the door edges, so that there are no crevices in which dirt can collect.

Click: MIKROE adds high-performance signal generation for $109


Waveform 4 peripheral development board based on ADI's AD9106, quad-channel, 12-bit, 180MSPS waveform generator


MikroElektronika (MIKROE), the embedded solutions company that dramatically cuts development time by providing innovative hardware and software products based on proven standards, has launched Waveform 4 Click – a member of its +1000-strong Click family of peripheral development boards – that operates as a signal generator for high-speed, high-dynamic- range, multichannel complex waveforms required in applications such as ultrasound transducer excitation, medical instrumentation, portable instrumentation, signal generators, and arbitrary waveform generators. Waveform 4 Click features Analog Devices' AD9106, a quad-channel, 12-bit,


180MSPS waveform generator that integrates on-chip SRAM and direct digital synthesis (DDS) for complex waveform generation. The DDS facilitates a master clock sinewave generator at speeds of up to a 180 MHz with a 24-bit tuning word, allowing 10.8 Hz/LSB frequency resolution. The AD9106 has a single frequency output and independent programmable phase shift outputs for each of the four integrated DACs. More, the integrated SRAM data can include directly-generated stored waveforms, which can be accessed using the serial peripheral interface, amplitude modulation patterns applied to DDS outputs, or DDS frequency tuning words. Click boards are based on the 16-pin mikroBUS™ standard for sockets on a development board


invented by MIKROE ten years ago. Click boards enable design engineers to change peripherals easily, cutting months off development time. The company releases a new Click board nearly every day at 10am, and many leading microcontroller companies including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices Renesas and Toshiba now include the mikroBUS socket on their development boards.
