pads along the edges to provide the connection. This simplifies and reduces the cost of manufacture for the modules, makes the entire assembly slimmer and lower profile and, without connector pins protruding, there is no risk these can be damaged.
Available in 20, 17 (15 live), 8 and 6-way variations, Clipzin can be used with modules such as the Raspberry Pi Pico and Arduino Nano Connect, as well as sensor, radio, and a myriad of modules and sub- assemblies for multiple applications across a wide range of industries.
The versatility of Clipzin allows customers to quickly modify equipment on the production line to, for example, conform to local regulations by simply removing one Clipzin-compatible card and replacing it with another. Equipment can also be upgraded as new features become
available, even in field-installed systems, meaning modules can be reused which will contribute to improved environmental credentials. Clipzin is available via distributors Farnell and CPC.

The benefits of thermal loop solutions H
eat treatment processes are a crucial component of many manufacturing processes, and thermal loop solutions have
become increasingly popular for achieving improved temperature control and consistent outcomes. But many OEMs are missing opportunities where thermal loop solutions offer more than just greater control. In this article, Peter Sherwin, global business development manager heat treat and Thomas Ruecker, senior business development manager at industrial heating technology supplier Watlow, explore the possibilities of thermal loop solutions:
A thermal loop solution is a closed loop system with several essential components, including an electrical power supply, power controller, heating element, temperature sensor and process controller. The electrical power supply provides the energy needed for heating, the power controller regulates the power output to the heating element, the heating element heats the material,
heat treatment methods, including improved temperature control and increased efficiency. The thermal loop system provides precise temperature control, enabling faster heating and cooling and optimized soak times. In addition, the complete design of modern thermal loop solutions includes energy- efficient heating and overall ease of use. Thermal loop solutions can also be integrated with Industry 4.0 frameworks and data management systems to provide real-time information on performance. Combining AI and machine learning algorithms can also provide additional performance benefits, such as the ability to analyse data and identify patterns for further optimization.

and the temperature sensor measures the temperature. Finally, the process controller adjusts the power output to maintain the desired temperature for the specified duration,
providing better temperature control and consistent outcomes.

ektronix, the provider in test and measurement solutions, has released its Double Pulse Test solution (WBG-DPT solution).
With new wide bandgap switching devices enabling significant advances in electric vehicles, solar energy and industrial controls, the Tektronix WBG-DPT solution has the ability to provide automated, repeatable, and accurate measurements on wide bandgap devices such as SiC and GaN MOSFETs.
Designers of next-generation power converters will now be able to utilize the WBG-DPT solution to optimize their designs confidently and quickly. With the ability to run on Tektronix 4, 5 and 6 Series MSO oscilloscopes, integrating seamlessly into the measurement system of the oscilloscopes, the

WBG-DPT solution is said to feature several industry-first measurement capabilities, such as an automatic WBG deskew technique, and reverse recovery timing plots, making it easier for engineers to see reverse recovery details for multiple pulses overlaid on a single display. Measurements are also designed to align with JEDEC and IEC standards for double pulse testing and diode reverse recovery. “Tektronix customers are the designers of the next generation of cutting-edge power electronics technology, and their designs must be optimized to balance efficiency, size and reliability,” said Daryl Ellis, Tektronix mainstream portfolio general manager. “We are confident that the design of the Tektronix WBG-DPT Solution will allow for simplified debugging, repeatable measurements (per JEDEC and IEC
standards) and a faster learning curve. Test automation reduces test times and retesting errors, ensuring our customers meet their
project timelines and time to market plans.”
