Tyco Electronics has launched a new board-to-board screw-down jumper assembly for use in LED lighting strips, lighting controls, and channel lettering. The RoHS-compliant jumper, which was originally designed for T8 and T12 fluorescent retrofit tubes, specifically serves the solid state lighting (SSL) market.

Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today launched TOPSwitch-JX, a highly integrated family of 16 power conversion ICs incorporating a 725 V power MOSFET for use in flyback power supplies. The novel TOPSwitch-JX multi-mode control algorithm maximizes power efficiency across the entire load range. High efficiency at full power minimizes power wasted during normal operation and reduces the complexity and expense of thermal management on the system. At low power levels, high efficiency enables adapters with extremely low no-load consumption and maximizes power available to the system in standby mode for applications constrained by standards and regulatory controls.

Anglia Designs has released a family of four graphics interface modules and reference designs that interface Hitachi graphical TFT displays to ST Microelectronics STM32 and 16 and 32 bit Microchip PIC processors. The modules were developed by an in-house Anglia Design engineering team to give customers an out of the box solution for driving one of the world’s most extensive ranges of graphical TFT and STN panels from two of the most popular embedded processor architectures.

Tyco Electronics has added the CU series to its family of Corcom power entry modules. The new series includes smaller-sized versions of switched filtered and unfiltered power inlets, which are ideal for applications with panel space constraints, in particular systems designed for the popular 1U (1 ¾ inch) height equipment racks.

Aerco now stocks the Oxley range of Kinky Pin® PCB connectors and test points that uses a unique ‘kinked’ retention mechanism to retain the pin in the PCB prior to soldering.

ITT Interconnect Solutions has launched its PHD 38999 fibre optic connector family in response to demands for a interconnect system suitable for harsh environments that could group multiple fibre optic terminations in a rugged circular connector profile with precision alignment and optical performance features.

Diversified technology company 3M will present the new true multi-touch standard to a European audience for the first time at CeBIT 2010, the world's foremost tradeshow for the digital industry in Hannover, Germany, 2-6 March. In Hall 14, Stand K50, 3M will exhibit its 22-inch Multi-Touch LCD desktop displays designed for professional and prosumer (professional consumer) applications that need up to 10-finger touch input or multi-user interactivity with a very fast response time.

TTI, Inc., the global distributor of passive, interconnect, relay & switch and discrete components, is exclusively launching Harwin’s new range of surface mount wire management EZ-Cable Clips as part of a promotion covering the Portsmouth-based manufacturer’s EZ BoardWare range of surface mount products that improve manufacturing flexibility, reduce manufacturing costs and improve in-field maintenance.

AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of advanced passive components and interconnect solutions, has developed a highly reliable surface mount crystal resonator that provides a nominal frequency of 32.768kHz in a small ceramic package of 3.2mm x1.5mm and a profile of only 0.8mm. Designated ST3215SB, the reflow compatible tuning fork crystal resonator has a frequency tolerance of +/-20ppm, a maximum ESR of 70kΩ and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Omnetics Connector Corporation, a leading manufacturer of miniature high-rel connectors, has announced its OmneMed™ line of high quality, plastic circular connectors featuring the EnduroNest™ hyperboloid contacts.

Tyco Electronics announces a new RoHS-compliant G13 style SMT assembly and end-cap cover for the solid state lighting (SSL) industry. The product supports printed circuit boards (PCBs) and LED strip lighting modules found in the standard T8 and T12 fluorescent LED retrofit tubes.

Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) has recognized Aeroflex’s contributions to 4G wireless technology with a 4GWE Product of the Year award for the 7100 Digital Radio Test Set. Award recipients represent the most innovative new products brought to market during 2009.

ITT Interconnect Solutions’ circular APD product family, originally designed to meet the automotive norm DIN72585 (now ISO15170), is now an ideal connector for certain wheeled armoured vehicle applications if military specifications are not required. These connectors are lightweight, cost effective, easy to assemble, and offer the additional security of a secondary locking system for high pin counts.

VI Technology MMTS™ for production testing of new and existing components was used in the development of second-generation of Ford's SYNC system. VI Technology MMTS is an automated test system designed to improve productivity for design and test engineers needing analogue and digital measurements for audio/video devices.

The new Cherry VN1015 series of digital vane sensors from ZF Electronics are designed for applications which require robust repeatable sensors immune to moisture and dust. These digital sensors are magnetically operated, so there are no mechanical contacts to wear out, ensuring extra-long product life and reliability.

To speed up real-world testing of mobile handsets for LTE networks ahead of network deployment, Aeroflex is introducing the first one-box test system for cell phone signal fading simulation. Integrated within the 7100 Series digital radio test set, the new fading simulator option offers RF engineers an inexpensive and reliable baseband tool for signal fading profiling, a requirement for LTE (Long Term Evolution) certification.

Mouser Electronics, Inc., known for its rapid introduction of the newest products, is the first to announce the availability of the much anticipated USB 3.0 SuperSpeed connectors from Amphenol. The USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 connectors are fully compliant with the USB 2.0 and 3.0 specification and offer a significant leap forward in transfer speeds (5 Gbps signaling rate) and a 10x performance increase over Hi-Speed USB capabilities, while maintaining backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 devices.

New from Aerco is a range of IP-rated axial AC equipment fans that are ideal for cooling cabinets that are located outdoors or where there is a danger of water ingress.

Tyco Electronics now offers the MAG-MATE insulation displacement crimp (IDC) interconnection system – a cost-effective interconnect for fractional horsepower (FHP) motor manufacturers. The product drives cost reduction as the same part number qualifies for termination of both copper and aluminium magnet wires.
