CUI Devices’ Interconnect Group today announced the addition of HDMI connectors to its connectors product portfolio.

CUI Devices’ Audio Group has announced the introduction of a 3.2mm x 3.2mm magnetic transducer buzzer, making it among the smallest micro buzzers in the industry. 

Peltier modules, also known as thermoelectric coolers (TEC) or thermoelectric modules (TEM), are solid state devices which transfer heat when electrical power is applied. This blog post will provide an overview of Peltier module construction followed by a summary of common failure mechanisms and ways to improve TEC reliability.

What is a Peltier module and how do you select the right one for your application? As a quick overview, a Peltier module is a semiconductor device that, once a current passes through it, it actively transfers heat from one side of the module to another.

MEMS microphones and Electret Condenser Microphones (ECMs) are the two most common technologies used for voice capture and audio recording.

When you need to measure the speed, direction of motion, or position of a rotating shaft, you will likely require a rotary encoder.

CUI Devices’ Interconnect Group has announced the continued expansion of their power-only USB Type C receptacle line with the introduction of a vertically-oriented model. The UJC-VP-3-SMT-TR joins the existing 60W UJC-HP-3-SMT-TR and 100W UJC-HP-G-SMT-TR , which both feature horizontal, surface mount packages.

CUI Devices’ Motion Group has announced the introduction of a new model to its AMT incremental encoder family. Based on the existing AMT10 series package, the new AMT10E series offers 13 new resolutions not possible in the standard version, including the common 1250 PPR, 2500 PPR, and 5120 PPR resolutions.

CUI Devices’ Thermal Management Group has announced the release of a free, comprehensive ebook on the topic of thermal management. As an almost inescapable factor in electronic design, managing heat is often an afterthought during the design phase.

CUI Devices’ Switches Group has announced the addition of slide switches to its product portfolio. Available in compact package sizes as small as 10x2.5x5.9mm, the MSS series is a family of mini slide switches featuring 2.54mm pitches, SPDT circuits, and on-on switch functions.

CUI Devices’ Switches Group has announced the addition of micro rotary actuator types to its DIP switches product line. Housed in compact 7.2x7.2x2.9mm packages, the RDS-7229 series features four, ten, or 16 positions, a 5.08mm pitch, and surface mount or through hole mounting styles.

CUI Devices’ Sensors Group has announced the addition of ultrasonic sensors to its product portfolio. Offering a range of transmitter, receiver, and transceiver options with analogue outputs, the ultrasonic sensors feature distance ratings from 0.2 up to 18m and beam angles of 75 or 80o.

Audio jacks have been around for decades and are used in a wide variety of applications. 

CUI Devices’ Motion Group has announced the addition of plastic shaft actuator options to its C14 family of optical panel mount encoders. Suited for a range of ventilator and associated medical applications, these two-bit, quadrature output encoders feature incremental resolutions of 16 or 32 PPR and multiple termination types including cable, header, PCB pins, and solder holes.

CUI Devices’ Interconnect Group has announced the latest addition to their line of power-only USB Type C connectors. The UJC-HP-G-SMT-TR is an 8-pin USB Type C receptacle with the full 100W of power delivery supported by USB Type C with its five amp current rating and 20 Vdc voltage rating.

CUI Devices has announced the first launch from their Switches Group with the introduction of a new line of DIP switches. Available in piano, rotary, and slide actuator types, the DIP switches offer 1.27, 2.54, or 5.08 mm pitches, one to 16 positions, and surface mount or through hole mounting styles.

Peltier modules, also known as thermoelectric coolers, are semiconductor devices that actively transfer heat from one side of the module to the other when a current is applied.

Since their inception over two decades ago, USB connectors and their associated standards have gone through an array of advancements to both their data transfer rates and power capabilities as well as multiple iterations of the physical connector itself. Introduced in 2014, USB Type C is the latest physical standard, well-recognised for its simplified, bi-directional package, higher data rates, and greater power delivery. By Jeff Smoot, CUI Devi...

CUI Devices’ Audio Group has announced the addition of digital I2S output models to its comprehensive line of MEMS microphones. The bottom port CMM-3526D-261-I2S-TR and top port CMM-4030D-261-I2S-TR are housed in extremely compact, low profile packages measuring 3.50x2.65x0.98mm and 4.00x3.00x1.25mm, respectively.

CUI Devices’ Thermal Management Group today announced the expansion of its Peltier module product line with the addition of micro Peltier modules. Carrying compact package sizes with dimensions from 3.4 to 9.5 mm and profiles as low as 1.95 mm, these micro Peltier modules offer reliable solid-state construction, precise temperature control, and quiet operation for space-constrained designs where forced air cooling is not an option.
