Terminal blocks accept wires that aren’t stripped
Würth Elektronik eiSos is launching a series of new terminal blocks. The special feature, thanks to the insulation-displacement technique employed in the WR-TBL terminal blocks, the cables no longer need be stripped. The terminal blocks are supplied in the 3.81 and 5.08 mm spacing pitches, both with and without flanging. According to the cULus method, […]
PCB production Plan tool powered by SAP NetWeaver streamlines PCB assembly planning
Mentor Graphics announced that its Valor Production Plan software has been certified by SAP as powered by the SAP NetWeaver technology platform. The integration of the Valor Production Plan tool with SAP NetWeaver streamlines printed circuit board (PCB) assembly planning, such as surface mount technology, manual assembly and test, helping to improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce […]
Precision 16-V Op Amps
feature low input-offset voltage, CMRR
STMicroelectronics has introduced the new TSX7 series of precision 16 V op amps that combine high accuracy with a wide operating-voltage range and excellent robustness. The low input-offset voltage, Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR), and temperature drift eliminate any need for trimming or calibration in the assembled circuit while ensuring consistent performance over a wide […]
