TE Connectivity's SolderSleeve terminators are available in many styles. SolderSleeve splicing devices, which can be used to make sealed or unsealed splices, solder, insulate, encapsulate, and strain, relieve a wide range of wire sizes in a single step. SolderSleeve technology ensures high-quality electrical and mechanical performance time after time. Pre-measured solder and flux create repeatable, reliable terminations, reducing rejects and field failures. When the SolderSleeve device is heated the tubing shrinks and the solder preform melts to make a fully insulated, strain-relieved, protected solder connection. Features             Transparent insulation sleeve provides encapsulation, inspectability, strain relief, and insulation     Prefluxed solder preform provides a controlled soldering process     One-piece design offers easy installation and lower installed cost Applications                Shield-to-ground termination     In-line wire splices

Eaton’s XLM supercapacitor module provides energy storage for bridge power uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and improves power quality for voltage spikes and brownouts. The XLM is a safer alternative to batteries for UPS back-up power applications. Modules are lead-free and RoHS compliant. The XLM module can increase the life of a back-up system and eliminate the need for replacement parts and batteries. Eaton supercapacitors are high reliability, high power, ultra-high-capacitance energy storage devices utilizing electrochemical double layer capacitor (EDLC) construction combined with proprietary materials and processes. This combination of advanced technologies allows Eaton to offer a wide variety of capacitor solutions tailored to applications for back-up power, pulse power, and hybrid power systems. They can be applied as the sole energy storage or in combination with batteries to optimize cost, life-time, and run time. System requirements can range from a few microwatts to m

The ON Semiconductor MatrixCam video development kit (VDK) is a smart, low-power, 1080P camera solution that streams video over Wi-Fi and Ethernet. It has been developed specifically to encourage greater video adoption for IoT products, enabling faster time-to-market for IoT developers. Among its key applications are home automation systems, building access devices, baby monitors, advanced lighting controls, and smart appliances. The MatrixCam VDK offers smart streaming capability, with wake-up initiated by Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or through the motion-detecting integrated PIR sensor. Upon wake-up, it sends a push notification to an assigned mobile device (such as a smartphone or tablet) alerting the user that a live stream or a still image is available for viewing. It supports the microSD card slot, and can connect to cloud services such as Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform, with support for both video-on-demand and live streaming. The VDK can be configured via a simp

TURCK has added a variant with a CANopen interface to its QR24 rotary inductive sensor series. The new wear-free QR24-CAN variant is ideally equipped for use in mobile machines and industrial applications. Fast response times as well as a cyclical and event-driven communication are only two of the many benefits of the CANopen protocol, which is frequently used in the Mobile Equipment industry. These applications include crane and lifting technology, transport systems, construction machinery and also special machine building. All QR24 sensors use resistance inductive capacitance (RLC) measuring technology to process and communicate position. Each sensor is manufactured with printed emitter and receiver coil systems fully potted within the housing. When the emitter coils are activated with a high-frequency AC field, they produce an inductive RLC circuit with the positioning element. The position of that element is processed based on the induced signal to the receiver coils in the se
