Easby Group has announced the acquisition of Matrix Electronics, an electronics kitting and supply chain solutions provider.

Smart meters are constantly evolving, and in order to meet the increasing demands of additional data collection such as tamper, leak detection, low battery, reverse flow and the option to control the meters remotely, power has become an important parameter. Nesscap ultracapacitors, distributed by Easby Electronics, can provide the additional short-term power to optimise the overall system.

Easby Electronics is launching a range of rugged ultracapacitor modules for the UK and Ireland market, offering the highest power performance with ultra-low internal resistance. The comprehensive range of modules is available in 36F, 66F, 88F, 111F capacities and also introduces the highly popular 166F model.
