Four types of connectors for robots and drones
Many power and signal connectors are used in robot and drone sub-systems, such as sensors, motion, high-speed wired and wireless communications, and more. As industry 4.0 continues to unfold, more robots and more types of robots are being found in factories, warehouses, and other facilities to increase quality and efficiencies and reduce costs. Robots and […]
GNSS antennas feature built-in filtering
Tallysman Wireless is excited to announce that it has added eXtended Filtering (XF) to the full line of VeroStar housed and embedded precision GNSS antennas. Tallysman has designed the XF feature to mitigate interference from all near-band signals and ensure that the antenna provides the purest GNSS signals. The radio frequency spectrum has become congested […]

New backshells give EMI/RFI protection to horizontal Gecko connectors
Harwin has introduced horizontal backshells for its Gecko-Screw-Lok (Gecko-SL) series of lightweight, high-reliability (Hi-Rel) connectors. These backshells ensure a fully EMI/RFI shielded connection for horizontal 1.25-mm pitch board-to-cable connections. Previously Gecko EMI/RFI shielding was only available on vertical board-to-cable orientations. This new development will be of real value to applications requiring EMI/RFI protection, but where […]
High-current, flat-wire inductors feature low core loss, no thermal aging
ITG Electronics has introduced a line of mega power high current flat wire Inductors for industrial and rugged environments, including automotive applications. Offering a vastly superior power rating – higher inductance and current – compared with conventional flat wire inductors, the next-generation box-shaped item features denser magnetic materials allowing custom-level power in a standardized product. […]
