The new chassis mounted ‘gender change’ sockets are available in USB2 A-to-B and B-to-A versions and allow designers to integrate USB2 networking and data feeds into professional equipment for broadcast, lighting, audio and industrial applications.
Connector eliminates the need for special cables with reduced PE
Complementing the 50 different modules already available in the Han-Modular range, HARTING has announced a PE (Protective Earth) module for the pluggable connection of large PE cross sections of between 10 and 35mm2.
Organic nanowire synaptic transistors emulate biological synapses
A team of researchers with the Pohang University of Science and Technology in Korea has created organic nanowire synaptic transistors that emulate the working principles of biological synapses. As they describe in their paper published in the journal Science Advances, the artificial synapses they have created use much smaller amounts of power than other devices developed thus far and rival that of their biological counterparts.
Heat resistant connectors can eliminate shielding need
Two new UL-approved Magnetic Integrated Connector (MIC) modules from Elec & Eltek have been added to the Luso Electronics product portfolio. One option uses heat-resistant liquid crystal polymer (LCP) in place of standard plastics. The other RJ45 MIC upgrade integrates a Bridge Diode Array to eliminate polarity issues.
