Connectivity solutions for reliable communication and control
Connectivity serves as a cornerstone of industrial automation environments, delivering continuous production, data acquisition and communication throughout the
Small, rugged contacts take 20 A, 12-to-20 AWG wires
The 70-9296 series of single poke-home contacts from AVX now accommodates solid or stranded wires ranging from 28 to 12 AWG and current ratings to
Coin-cell-battery holder isn’t much bigger than a coin cell
Adding just 1.5 mm to the total height/profile of a CR2016 coin-battery system, the ultra-low-profile (3.1-mm) BLP2016SM-GTR holder also minimizes the total footprint to
Current sensing for renewable energy
With increasing concerns about the global demand for energy and the overall expansion of environmental awareness, designers for power electronics applications are under
