Sensirion has announced global availability of its drastically miniaturised CO2 sensor through Sensirion’s distribution network. Compared to its predecessor, the SCD4x CO2 sensor is seven times smaller and offers many more disruptive features.

In stock at distributor New Yorker Electronics is the new Vishay Optoelectronics fully integrated proximity sensor which is designed to increase efficiency and performance in consumer and industrial applications.

Now you can take proximal measurements, not only of respiratory gas flow rates, but also of associated ventilation pressure, in a single solution – this product is the result of a collaborative effort between Sensirion and Nicolay (GPE Group) and will be available to ventilator manufacturers from May 2021 as an evaluation kit.

In stock now at Mouser Electronics is the SmartIndustrial sensor family from Invensense, a TDK Group company.

Code Corporation has announced the launch of the Code Reader 5200 (CR5200), a high-speed, omnidirectional reader for 1D and 2D barcode symbologies. The CR5200 delivers a number of advancements over its predecessors and replaces the now End of Life (EOL) CR5020 and CR5025.

Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top five sensors products released in April.

A new extended temperature "E" option for its TSSP77038 infrared (IR) sensor module in the Heimdall package has been introduced by Vishay Intertechnology.

NevadaNano has announced its Molecular Property Spectrometer (MPS) R-290 Propane sensor. The new device is the most accurate on the market, making it an ideal solution for residential and commercial R-290 propane applications including air conditioning, vending machines, commercial refrigeration racks, and clothes dryers.

The High-Temperature HATR-750 Series of LVDT Position Sensors from NewTek Sensor Solutions offers a reliable and long-term solution to sensors that fail when operating in environments with unanticipated temperature spikes. For example, steam valves in power generation plants can have undetected leaks when moving, causing periodic rises in temperatures beyond original operating specifications. 

Air quality and regular ventilation have become highly relevant in pandemic times. Minute droplets (known as aerosols) are emitted not only when coughing or sneezing, but also during normal breathing and when talking. Viruses can be found in these aerosols. Frequent and effective ventilation and environmental sensors are therefore more important than ever.
