Product Design and Development

Conxall (Chicago, IL) has added a sealed
HDMI connector to its line of Data-Con-X sealed data
connectors. Features include:
• Feed-thru, PCB, and solder termination on the panel
for field installation.

• The HDMI connector is sealed to a level of IP68 NEMA 250 (6P) when mated and comes in a quick connect or bayonet style connection.

• The connectors are applicable in any sealed data transmission, military or industrial GPS location devices, instrumentation, medical data carts, data acquisition units, and general industrial electronic applications.

Digital Ultrasonic MEMS Microphone

Knowles (Itasca, IL) has developed the world’s first digital microphone supporting ultrasonic bandwidth, according to the company. The SPH0641LU4H-1 High SNR digital bottom port microphone features: • A 3.50 x 2.65 x 0.98 mm footprint.

• Ultrasonic frequencies up to 80 kHz.

• The new MEMS microphone can receive ultrasonic sound waves above the audible range of humans, and uses those waves to triangulate an object’s location and movement. The technology principles are similar to radar or an ultrasound administered by a doctor during pregnancy.

• This new product allows the microphone to assist smartphones and consumer electronics with touchless gesture recognition, phone-to-phone data transmission, pen input compatibility for handsets and tablets, and 3D positioning input.

• Beyond the ultrasonic mode, the microphone offers 4 performance modes, including a low power voice activation mode for mobile consumer electronics.

Momentary LED-
Illuminated Miniature
Rocker Switch

CW Industries (Southampton, PA) has introduced a new LED illuminated miniature rocker switch in a momentary function for users with applications requiring a spring return.

The CW GRL-4011B-0000 features: • A rating at 8 A, 14 VDC.

• An (ON) – OFF function in a SPST circuit.

• The ability to mount into a panel opening of 0.756” x 0.508” without hardware.

• Standard 0.187” terminals.

• A standard actuator made of red polycarbonate.

• A black nylon housing.

Why Would I Specify?

• The LED lamp is configured for direct application to 14 VDC at 100,000 hours.

• The entire line of CW 4000 Series Switches feature self cleaning contacts and are RoHS compliant.

• A range of options are available including color, terminal type -0.110”, and polarizing means for switch mounting orientation.

Compact, Precision Ball-Screw Stage with
Linear Encoder

A compact, high-per-
formance linear
positioning stage,
Aerotech’s
(Pittsburgh, PA)
MPS75SLE features
smooth trav-
el combined
with accuracy,
repeatability, and
positioning resolution
capability to 25 nm. Other
features include:
• A compact stage with travels to
100 mm.

• A precision-ground ball-screw drive.

• A DC servo or stepper motor.

• A resolution of 0.025 µm, repeatability of ±0.1 µm, and accuracy of ±0.75 µm.

• Anti-creep, crossed-roller bearings for smooth travel and a high-load capacity.

Why Would I Specify?

• The low thermal expansion ( 3. 3 ppm/˚C) precision glass scale encoder results in high-accuracy and repeatable positioning over long periods of time.
