Würth Elektronik shrinks Proteus Bluetooth Low Energy radio module

Thu, Mar 17, 2022

Continuing the Proteus Bluetooth Low Energy series, Würth Elektronik has introduced the Proteus-e radio module. It is based on the Bluetooth Low Energy 5.1 standard and includes certificates of conformity for CE, FCC, IC and TELEC. It has an integrated antenna yet measures just 7.0 x 9.0 x 2.0mm. This is one third smaller than the earlier Proteus-III model.

Proteus-e has been introduced to deliver basic Bluetooth functionality for price-sensitive applications. For applications with customer own firmware development, the module is offered under the name Ophelia-I as pure hardware.

Proteus-e and Ophelia-I are based on Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52805 chipset, which includes a 64MHz Arm Cortex-M4 processor, 192kbyte of flash memory and 24kbyte of RAM. The maximum output power is 4dBm and the maximum data rate is 2Mbits per second.

The module was developed for mobile applications. In power-saving mode, it requires only 0.3 microA. In addition, the Proteus-e allows the connection timing, advertising packets and timing, beacons and UART to be freely configured, said Würth Elektronik.

The company also offers an evaluation board to connect the module to microcontrollers for application development. Würth Elektronik provides design-in support and offers firmware development services on request.

The radio modules and evaluation boards are available from stock with no minimum order quantity.

Würth Elektronik eiSos Group is a manufacturer of electronic and electromechanical components for the electronics industry. It is claimed to be one of the largest European manufacturers of passive components and is active in 50 countries. Production sites in Europe, Asia and North America supply a growing number of customers worldwide.

The company’s product range includes EMC components, inductors, transformers, RF components, varistors, capacitors, resistors, quartz crystals, oscillators, power modules, wireless power transfer, LEDs, sensors, connectors, power supply elements, switches, pushbuttons, connection technology, fuse holders and solutions for wireless data transmission.

All catalogue components are available from stock without minimum order quantity, and the company offers free samples and extensive support through technical sales staff and selection tools.

Würth Elektronik is part of the Würth Group, the assembly and fastening technology company.

Versatile shrouded panel sockets reduce strain

Tue, Mar 08, 2022

PCB mount 4mm shrouded sockets manufactured by Cliff Electronics can mate with both safety shrouded and unshrouded plugs. The right-angled design reduces strain between the PCB and the lead, increasing reliability and product lifetime.

The sockets are suitable for a range of applications including automotive diagnostic, industrial, medical, music industry, instrumentation, education, and bench and hand-held electrical testing equipment.

The 4mm test sockets are designed for mating with industry standard 4mm plugs and are available in black, red, green, blue, brown and yellow. Contacts are gold- plated and rated at 1000V, 24A, CAT III.

Cliff Electronics can supply jack sockets, DC power connectors, terminal binding posts, test connectors and leads, optical jacks and leads and waterproof connectors and the company also designs and manufactures standard and FeedThrough connectors which mount into an industry standard XLR, 23mm cutout.

Cliff Electronic Components was founded in 1977 to supply the music industry with connectors. The company has subsequently expanded its products and services to supply most professional and industrial markets. According to the company, as both a manufacturer and a distributor, the expansion of the product range has established it as a prime source for components, from audio into test leads and accessories, general industrial connectors, foot pedals, hand tools, production aids, lighting connectors, motors and fans. Cliff also manufactures and sources various types of leads including audio, instrument and power leads. The company also has extensive expertise in moulding and metalwork and can provide a design, engineering and manufacturing service for the production of customised components and assemblies. Plastics expertise includes injection-moulding, blow-moulding, extrusion, sonic-welding and printing. Metalwork includes stamping, machining, aluminium extrusion, finishing and printing. There is also the facility to enable assembly, inspection and testing.

Cliff’s UK and Far Eastern production plants are certified to ISO 9001 2000 and employ design, engineering, technical, marketing and sales personnel.

LED installation beacon is available in seven colours

Tue, Mar 08, 2022

Available in a choice of seven colours, the LED installation beacon 240 Multicolour has UL approval and is rated IP69K, the highest protection rating, said Werma Signaltechnik.

The compact LED installation beacon also has UL approval required for the USA. Colour options are red, yellow, green, white, blue, purple and turquoise. The UL certification enables it to be used worldwide, conforming to the safety regulations of the USA and Canada.

The IP69K standard is the highest protection class for electrical equipment, guaranteeing protection against solid objects, liquids, steam and dust. Water penetration is not possible, even at short distances, very high pressure, and high temperatures, ensuring it can be used with high-pressure systems.

Typical application examples are the mobile machinery, food processing, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries, where all equipment must meet washdown requirements and be regularly exposed to high-pressure water jets.

The LED installation beacon 240 Multicolour combines a large, bright and attention-grabbing illuminated surface with excellent visibility and robustness. It has a diameter of 55mm and rises just 46mm above the surface when installed, making it suitable for use where installation space is limited.

The seven colours allow it to be used in a variety of ways. For example to signal malfunctions or statuses at the control console of a machine, in the machine housing or on control cabinets. The compact size means it is suitable for automation applications.

The LEDs signal is clearly visible from all angles, said Werma, yet thanks to the frosted dome, the light effect is pleasant and homogenous. The efficient installation beacon needs only 40 to 130mA, depending on the variant.

The beacon can also be supplied in combination with a buzzer which emits a 3,400Hz pulse tone signal with a volume of 85dB.

The M30 installation size means the signal device can be easily mounted. Bit-encoded controlling allows the three basic colours green, yellow and red to be displayed using just two PLC outputs. With additional outputs, blue, turquoise, violet and white can also be activated.

The beacon has a long service life of up to 50,000 hours, added Werma.
