Tiny Bistable Rotary Solenoid
Claimed to be the world’s smallest bistable rotary solenoid, Geeplus has launched the tiny S1020 which measures just 2cms long and just 1cm in diameter.
Versatile ultra slim relay interface module
Available from specialist distributor Switchtec, Hongfa’s HF41F follows the trend for ultra slim relays, and when fitted to a panel offers users flexibility due to its compact size, contact rating and highly sensitive coil.
Heatsinkable Thin Film Power Resistor from Ohmite
Ohmite has produced what it claims to be the industry’s first thin film power resistor in heatsinkable packaging. The TK/TN Series also offers other major advantages over existing TO-220 products, namely, low resistance values down to 0.03 ohms for current sense applications and low cost.
Touch Sensor Chip Integrates Touch Slider or Wheel with Seven Extra Keys
Quantum Research Group, the charge-transfer capacitive touch company, has announced the QT1106, a complete control integrated circuit that combines the functionality of a touch slider or wheel with seven additional keys. The wheel or slider uses a simple, inexpensive sensing element between three connection points. The device detects a single rapid touch anywhere along the sense elements. Alternatively, it can track a finger moving along the whe...
