New from HARTING managed Ha-VIS mCon 3000 Ethernet switches enable the construction of more complex and efficient network structures, and have been optimised for use in harsh industrial environments.

Lane Electronics has made available Nicomatic’s CMM Series micro-connectors designed specifically for high reliability applications across many sectors including military, aerospace, instrumentation, transport and medical.

Vishay Intertechnology has broadened its optoelectronics portfolio with the release of a new 850 nm infrared (IR) emitter in a compact 3.85 mm by 3.85 mm by 2.24 mm top-view SMD package. Based on SurfLight surface emitter chip technology and featuring an integrated lens, the VSMY98545 is able to offer high drive current capability, high radiant intensity, and high optical power while providing low thermal resistivity.

Integrated Device Technology has introduced a 1.8 V LVDS clock fanout buffer family which is able to offer high-performance AC characteristics similar to that of 3.3 V devices. The new low-voltage fanout buffers enable customers to save up to 60% power and heat dissipation without having to sacrifice either accuracy or functionality.

Microchip has unveiled a new power-monitoring IC, the MCP39F501. This device is a highly integrated, single-phase power-monitoring IC designed for real-time measurement of AC power. It includes two 24-bit delta-sigma ADCs, a 16-bit calculation engine, EEPROM and a flexible two-wire interface.

New from specialist distributor Switchtec, the Dinkle range of DIN rail mounted terminals looks to meet the demand for smaller, smarter and more competitive products for use in control panels. Designed to be versatile there are two types of the terminals available.

Swissbit AG has launched its new S-40 and S-40u Series SD and Micro SD memory cards for TCO-optimised applications. These are the first SD and Micro SD cards to come on to the market that feature autonomous data refresh that requires no intervention by the host or application. Using intelligent algorithms, the memory cards deliver up to one hundred times longer data retention than conventional SD memory cards.

Intersil Corporation has unveiled the ISL29125 digital light sensor which, according to the company, is the industry"s most accurate, lowest power and smallest Red, Green and Blue (RGB) sensor to optimise the display resolution and colour quality of mobile devices and TVs in all lighting environments.

Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has announced additions to its UMOS VIII-H ultra-efficient MOSFET family. The 32 new devices will help designers to save space and reduce losses in synchronous rectification and primary and secondary side switching applications and other high-speed designs requiring device ratings from 60V to 250V.

Powersolve has launched two USB charging hubs designed to charge and sync up to 20 USB devices simultaneously. This includes tablet PCs, smartphones or any USB compliant device.
