Panasonic Industry introduces highly-reliable and durable thin type SMD tactile switches for wide range of miniaturized applications


EVP-BT series switches benefit from very compact design and short travel distance


Panasonic Industry is introducing a new series of durable thin type SMD tactile switches for miniaturized apllications requiring a switch with a short travel distance for extremely quick output. The highly compact and robust EVP-BT series switches benefit from a low profile height of only 4.3mm, a sharp tactile feel, a low contact resistance as well as only a small bounce noise. EVP-BT series switches offer very high reliability with an operating life cycle of up to 2 million. Available with a wide range of variations, e.g. as J-bent and straight terminal types with a total of 28 part numbers, to accomodate many different push forces and vibration specs. “We are glad that we are now able to offer our proven switches technology with an additional profile height and straight terminals to serve an even wider range of applications - such as smart home, energy, home or medical appliances”, summarizes Markus Lehmann from Panasonic Industry Europe.

Power Integrations Delivers AEC-Qualified Buck Switcher IC with 850 mA Output for Low-Part-Count Automotive PSUs LinkSwitch-TN2Q supports 30-550 VDC input with integrated system-level protection


Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today announced a high-current member of its LinkSwitch™-TN2Q automotive switcher IC family which provides up to 850 mA of output current without the need for metal heatsinking. The highly integrated ICs support a wide input voltage of 30 to 550 VDC, enabling the devices to start up and operate below the required Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) threshold in functional safety EV applications. Edward Ong, senior product marketing manager at Power Integrations, said: “As electronics in electric vehicles grow more sophisticated, automotive customers need higher supply currents to drive them. The 850-mA rating for this new IC represents an increase of 230 percent in available output current compared with other members of the LinkSwitch-TN2Q family. LinkSwitch-TN2Q ICs reduce part-count by including control, driver, protection circuitry and a 750 V power MOSFET in an SMD package.” LinkSwitch-TN2Q ICs are AEC-Q100 qualified and support buck, buck-boost and non-isolated flyback


converter topologies. Each device incorporates a 750 V power MOSFET, oscillator, on/off control, a high- voltage switched current source for self-biasing, frequency jittering, fast (cycle-by-cycle) current sensing and current limit, hysteretic thermal shutdown, and output over-voltage protection circuitry in a monolithic IC.

New miniature coaxial reed relay for high-speed RF systems up to 3GHz


Pickering Electronics launches Series 113RF screened relays for digital switching systems that demand low RF losses and low insertion loss


Pickering Electronics, the reed relay company which has pioneered miniaturization and high performance for over 50 years, has launched a new miniature coaxial reed relays for high frequency RF systems up to 3GHz. Series 113RF SIL/SIP reed relays feature a 2mm spacing footprint, enabling them to be stacked at very high densities. When asked “When would reed relays be the best solution for RF and high speed, digital switching systems?” Kevin Mallett, Technical Specialist at Pickering Electronics answered: “These small, screened reed relays are faster and smaller than electromechanical relays (EMR), have a lower insertion loss and better DC capabilities than solid state relays (SSR), and better hot switching performance than micro- electromechanical machine (MEM) products.” Series 113RF reed relays are suitable for switching up to 10W, 0.5A. 1 Form A configurations (SPST normally open) are available with 3V or 5V coils with coil resistances of up to 100/300 ohms respectively. At low levels, the typical life expectancy of Series 113RF reed relays is greater than 250 million reliable operations. The relays employ the highest quality instrumentation grade reed switches with sputtered ruthenium contacts and are ideal for automatic test equipment. All Series 113RF reed relays feature an internal mu-metal magnetic screen to enable high-density stacking of relays without the risk of adjacent devices interfering with each other resulting in faulty operation.

Universal programmer/ debugger uniquely enables Wi-Fi operation


CODEGRIP from MIKROE covers ARM® Cortex®-M, RISC-V, PIC®, dsPIC, PIC32, and AVR MCU architectures


MikroElektronika (MIKROE), the embedded solutions company that dramatically cuts development time by providing innovative hardware and software products based on proven standards, has launched UNI CODEGRIP, a universal programmer and debugger for ARM® Cortex®-M, RISC-V, PIC®, dsPIC, PIC32, and AVR MCU architectures. Uniquely, CODEGRIP enables designers to program and debug their designs over Wi-Fi, as well as USB-C.


By bridging differences between various MCUs, UNI CODEGRIP allows a huge number of MCUs from


several different MCU vendors to be programmed and debugged. More MCUs are being added, and updates will be free for the product lifetime. Whilst the USB-C connector interface offers improved performance and reliability, compared to traditionally-used USB Type A/B connectors, wireless connectivity redefines the way the development board can be used. For example, CODEGRIP can be placed in difficult-to-access locations such as hazardous environments, agricultural establishments or high-rise buildings while still giving full debugging and programming access. Nebojsa Matic, CEO at MIKROE, adds: “Replicating a user’s hardware has always been a challenge, but debugging through Wi-Fi enables technical support to directly access user’s hardware.”

Nicomatic expands UK team on back of increased business across all market sectors for modular and custom interconnects


Nicomatic, the leading manufacturer of high-performance interconnect systems, announces it has expanded its UK team on the back of increased business, especially in custom designs across all its market sectors, including aerospace, UAVs, rail, energy, robotics, medical, consumer electronics, motorsport and industrial. The newest appointment is Carl Jenkins, who is appointed Field Applications Engineer and strengthens the customer-facing team. Jenkins joins from a background in connectors, cable assembly and hazardous area systems. Jenkins, 38, has extensive mechanical design experience which fits well with Nicomatic’s customer base – Nicomatic specialises in high- performance micro connectors which are highly modular, with many ranges able to be configured in hundreds of thousands of combinations. Demand is up too for full-custom designs, as well as complete systems. Jenkins comments: “Nicomatic is very much about enabling our customers’ vision and it’s really exciting to work with customers to make that happen, whether that is with one of our modular interconnect ranges, such as EMM, DMM or CMM or a full-custom design where my CAD skills are really useful – at the moment, I’m working with an F1 motorsport team on a full-custom design, for example. The Nicomatic culture is fantastic too and quite unique – employee empowerment is the company philosophy, which basically means shared vision and values, co-construction of strategy, and a truly customer-centric culture.” UK Managing Director, Phil McDavitt, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Carl on board to strengthen the UK team and ensure continuing timely response to customer enquiries, especially now many customer visits are face-to-face and also we are exhibiting once again at exhibitions such as Space- Comm at Farnborough next month and The Engineering Design Show in October.”
