Test socket makes reliable connections to USB-C ports
Test sockets for making connections to smart phones and other devices employing USB-C ports are much more reliable and have a much longer life time than ordinary USB-C sockets. The XP2U-001 socket is designed as a one-touch connection to USB Type-C ports. The socket has a an expected lifetime of 200k insertions compared to 10k […]
Proximity sensors from Omron feature IO-Link, world’s longest sensing range
Manufacturers in the automotive industry are striving to make the most of the current trend towards electric vehicles and low fuel consumption by building lighter-weight vehicles and favoring aluminum over iron. As the prevalence of mixed production lines containing both iron and aluminum increases, the demand for same-sensing-distance proximity sensors with suitably long sensing ranges […]
MOSFET-based SSRs feature 1 pA leakage current
OMRON Corporation of Kyoto, western Japan globally released its new MOSFET relay module, the G3VM-21MT. The product is the first electronic component in the world to adopt a T-type circuit structure. With T-type circuit structure consisting of compact-size and longer-lifecycle solid-state relays that output signals using no physical contact, the relay module minimizes the leakage […]
