TE Circuit Protection’s New Surface-Mount 2410 Fuses Provide High I2t Characteristics

TE Circuit Protection announces the 2410SFV family of 20 new AC/DC fuses featuring current ratings from 0.5A to 20.0A.

The 2410 fuses help provide secondary-side circuit protection, conserve board space and reduce design costs in a broad array of high-voltage, high-current designs. Typical applications include home appliances (LCD TV LED backlighting, LCD TV CCFL backlighting) and LED lighting, as well as office automation, industrial and medical equipment.

Weidmuller Omnimate Connection Devices

The construction and performance classes of frequency inverters are determined to a large degree by the connection technology that is to be utilised. The Weidmuller Powermate range ensures that the right connection technique is available to meet the needs of the respective application. That means device series with several performance ratings can be equipped throughout with a uniform system.

Murata expands range of AMR sensors to include horizontal and vertical sensing

Murata has announced the launch of the AS-M and AS-V series of anisotropic magneto resistance (AMR) sensors. This detection technique provides a non-contact magnetic sensor of high sensitivity for use in a relatively low magnetic field.

These extremely small devices, the smallest measuring just 1.2 x 1.2 x 0.37 mm, can detect a magnetic field in either a horizontal or vertical direction. Compared to traditional magnetic switch components, such as a reed switch or Hall effect IC, AMR sensors have higher detection sensitivity, are more robust and offer a wider detection area.

Avnet Electronics Marketing has launched a series of SpeedWay Design Workshops™ featuring the recently released, low-cost Xilinx Spartan®-6 FPGA LX9 MicroBoard. Combining instructor-led courses with hands-on workshops, these full or half-day technical sessions feature a range of topics designed to teach engineers everything from the basics of FPGA design to best-practices for integrating Xilinx’s MicroBlaze™ soft processor core. Taught by Avnet’s technical specialists, these courses are geared towards engineers at all levels including: designers who are new to FPGAs; those looking to enhance or update their capabilities with Xilinx’s suite of development tools; and those looking to implement embedded processing designs using Xilinx’s Software Development Kit (SDK) environment or the AMBA®4 Advanced Extensible Interface (AXI4™).
