Mouser offers resources and design solutions for harsh environments

“Now more than ever, applications require electronics that are designed to operate in a variety of conditions. This makes it crucial that engineers plan for harsh environments prior to the design stage of development,” said Kevin Hess, Mouser Electronics’ Senior Vice President of Marketing.

“Mouser is here to guide customers through the planning process by offering a steady stream of content, services and tools.”

Mouser offers a wealth of resources, including videos, blog posts and product information, to assist in design. The harsh environments content stream includes a varied collection of technical articles that cover applications ranging from railway and industrial to space and aquatic.

Mouser stocks a selection of semiconductors and electronic components, including the following products suitable for use in harsh environments:

• Phoenix Contact M12 connectors feature cross-manufacturer connection compatibility to ensure wide availability worldwide, making them well-suited for railway applications, industrial machinery and factory automation.
• Texas Instruments THVD15xx RS-485/RS-422 transceivers are designed for rugged industrial environments and suitable for multi-point applications over long cable runs.
• TE Connectivity’s Measurement Specialties MS5837-02BA06 pressure sensor modules are small gel-filled pressure sensors optimised for altimeter and barometer applications. These pressure sensor modules enable improved endurance in chlorine environments.
• KEMET Electronics F863 film capacitors are most suitable for harsh environmental conditions and meet demanding AEC-Q200 qualification requirements.
