Logic Level, PC Mounted Pushbuttons

Pushbutton switches range in size from ultra-miniature to miniature with logic level ratings of 0.4VA maximum at 28V ac/dc. The terminals feature 0.100 × 0.100 pin spacing in all ultra-miniature and subminiature models and 0.185-inch spacing in the miniature option. A wide selection of pushbutton varieties and terminations allows for many configurations. They are available in process compatible options with terminations that include straight PC with and without brackets, right angle, and vertical mount. Circuit configurations are offered from SPST through DPDT. BB series offers a maintained action circuit option.

Latched sinking bit drivers

The A6800 Series of latched sinking drivers spec a 3.3V logic supply, 10 MHz data rate, and are RoHS compliant. The A6800 and A6801 is composed of 4 to 8 D-type data latches with CMOS inputs and power outputs of 50 V at 350 mA using bipolar power Darlingtons. The A6821 and A6841 include a CMOS shift register and control circuitry. Bipolar power Darlingtons handle 50 V at 500 mA outputs. The A6832 and A6833 are targeted at thermal printers or multiplexed LED or incandescent displays at currents and voltages up to 150 mA and 40 V.

Class 2 transformer powers halogen lamps

Survivor CT Class 2 transformers with short circuit and overload protection are capable of withstanding a direct short circuit for more than 15 days. With a center-tap to the secondary winding, the Survivor CT is ideal for use with 12 V halogen lamps. Using the center tap as a common connection allows users to operate higher wattage lamps (up to 75 W as standard or 100 W with custom configurations) while remaining within UL Class 2 requirements. Two 35 W halogen lamps can be operated with a single, standard 75 VA transformer. These transformers can also be used on battery chargers, to power small motors, and in control applications where 12V and 24V are required.

PLC couplings use IdentiQuik technology

IdentiQuik PLC series couplings use RFID to electronically verify line connection accuracy and capture fluid and product data from point-of-origin through point-of-use. This helps medical-device manufacturers and processors comply with 21 CFR Part 11 regulations. The connections integrate RFID into couplings and package closures or inserts. Before making the final connection of body to insert, the coupling halves automatically exchange product data. The couplings are ideal for applications such as analytical instrumentation, compression therapy, deionized-water filtration, and thermoelectric cooling assemblies.
