D-Sub Connectors

ITT Interconnect Solutions' Combo D Series of D-sub connectors features size-8 power contacts with an optional integrated filter planar array. The connectors accommodate a right-angle press fit termination and Eurostyle brackets.

The low-profile Combo D connectors feature a maximum contact current rating of 40 A and a passive filter array with 47 nF capacitance. Minimum lifespan is 200 mating cycles, and the device is intermateable with Combo D 5W5 cable connectors. The connectors are capable of withstanding a 1000-V peak. Typical pricing for the Combo D Series filtered connectors is approximately $30 each.

Surge Protective Devices

From Phoenix Contact, the VALVETRAB-SQ surge protective devices (SPD) offer safe, reliable surge protection from 40,000 A to 200,000 A. The NEMA-style product series includes approximately 50 part numbers in three different mountable designs.

The VAL-SQ CC series offers an economical method of protecting electronic equipment in light commercial, light industrial and residential environments. It has 40,000 A of surge current rating, and its compact design is ideal for installation in a control cabinet or directly to critical equipment.

A multiphase SPD and noise filter, the VAL-SQ SP series protects sensitive equipment even in the worst environmental conditions. It can be installed adjacent to subpanels or directly to sensitive equipment. It provides 80,000 A or 120,000 A of surge current rating per phase.

The VAL-SQ SE series provides maximum surge protection for the service entrance and remote locations in industrial, medical and commercial applications. Available with 120,000-A, 160,000-A and 200,000-A surge current ratings, it can be mounted near the circuit breaker, reducing connecting leads and improving performance.

Electromagnetic Simulation Software

LeCroy's M-Type oscilloscope lineup now includes six models ranging from 200 MHz to 2 GHz. The oscilloscopes come standard with a full set of analysis tools including WaveScan, an advanced search and analysis feature; WaveStream, a fast viewing mode; and LabNotebook, a tool for documentation and report generation.

The WaveRunner MXi oscilloscopes ship standard with a variety of analysis tools and application programs, such as tracks, histograms, long-memory FFTs, user-defined functions, mixed-signal options, power-device analysis, jitter and timing analysis, and a host of other applications. With a maximum sample rate of 10 Gsamples/s and a standard 12.5 Mpts/Ch of memory (interleaving to 25 Mpts/Ch), the WaveRunner MXi series goes beyond debug and validation to help engineers understand the root causes of complex problems.

The WaveSurfer MXs oscilloscopes offer strong fundamentals for lab and bench oscilloscope use at 5 Gsamples/s on each channel with 10 Mpts/Ch memory. Advanced triggering helps an engineer find rare events and glitches, while the built-in HDTV trigger speeds the design of new products. Pricing for the WaveSurfer MXs starts at $7570 and for the WaveRunner MXi at $11,690.

Ultratiny Transistors

From Central Semiconductor, the FEMTOmini CMNT3904E (npn) and CMNT3906E (pnp) low V_CESAT transistors come packaged in the SOT-953 surface-mount package. The SOT-953 has a maximum package profile of 0.5 mm and uses 33% less board space than the SOT-523.

The CMNT3904E and CMNT3906E transistors are designed with enhanced specifications including: a maximum collector-base voltage of 60 V, a maximum emitter-base voltage of 6 V and a maximum V_CESAT of 0.2 V at 50 mA. The transistors are ideal for portable battery-powered applications requiring an energy-efficient transistor in an ultrasmall package. Available in 7-in. tape and reel, prices start at $0.08 each in quantities of 3000.
