New from Teledyne - Broadband Relays with Coil Diode Options
Teledyne Relays has introduced the RF300D / RF303D & RF300DD / RF303DD series. These new ultraminiature broadband TO-5 relays, have internal discrete silicon diodes for coil transient suppression (D) and polarity reveral protection (DD). The diodes are built in to the relay to reduce the number of external components needed to drive the relays and reduce the circuit boardspace needed to mount the relays to a minimum.
Designed to include test & measurement, low power switching matrices, low power wireless and semi-conductor test and load boards. Enlcosed in 9.4mm diameter hermetically sealed washable package, the Series offers 5V and 12V coils with power consumption, 450mW for RF300 versions and 200mW for the sensitive RF303 verisons. Continuous operating and switching performance is offered over a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C. Teledyne Relays >...

Sensirion Differential Pressure Sensors

Sensirion Humidity Sensors World`s Smallest Humidity Sensor Smallest relative humidity sensor for a multitude of applications

"size that inspires" The extremely small SHT21 digital humidity sensor and temperature sensor integrates sensors, calibration memory and digital interface on 3x3mm footprint. Additionally the humidity sensor provides electronic read-out of tracking information. The complete over-moulding of the sensor chip – with the exception of the humidity sensor area – protects the humidity and temperature sensor against external impact and leads to an excellent stability against aging, shock and volatile chemicals. Sensirion is a leading sensor manufacturer, providing humidity sensors and flow sensor solutions with unique performance. Together with capacitive humidity sensors, the product range includes liquid flow sensors, mass flow meters, mass flow controllers and differential pressure sensors. Sensirion Humidity Sensors Sensirion’s family of relative humidity and temperature sensors has made it to be an industry standard - mainly due to high integration (CMOSens® Technology ) and tiny size. The capacitive humidity sensor provides digital and fully calibrated output which allows for easy integration. The humidity sensors` excellent long term stability and cutting edge low energy consumption makes them the right choice for any remote application. The relative humidity sensors are provided in different packaging types: SMD type (SHT1x series), pin type (SHT7x series) and the new DFN type (SHT2x series). The SMD and DFN types are lead-free reflow solderable while pin type sensors are used for devices where flexible integration or easy exchange is crucial.

For simultaneous measurement with humidity & temperature sensors SHTxx. The evaluation kit EK-H4 combines an easy-to-use plug-and-play system for sensor evaluation with a data logging equipment for simultaneous recording of humidity and temperature. EK-H4 allows for applying 4 SHTxx humidity and temperature sensors, no matter what generation, simultaneously and reading out relative humidity, temperature, calculated dew point and energy consumption at the same time. EK-H4 is working with SHT1x, SHT7x as well as with SHT2x sensors and interfaces to the computer via USB. The data-logging software is able to integrate signals from various EK-H4 multiplexers such that only the USB channels of the computer are limiting the number of read out sensors. The application of EK-H4 does not require any software programming, calibration nor does it need additional hardware – with the exception of data-logging software that requires a personal computer. read more >...   Content EK-H4 multiplexer box with 4 channels 4 SHT71 sensors 4 SHT21 sensors 4 Sensor cables with RJ45 plug for connecting sensors with multiplexer box 1 USB cable for PC connection 1 Power supply unit with US, EU, AU adapter 1 Compact disc with multi viewer software for running EK-H4 as a data-logger read more >...
