METZ CONNECT has launched a new generation of connection systems. The substantial increase in devices linked via a permanent cable connection, such as network-compatible cameras, WiFi spots, room temperature controllers, house telephones, time capture systems, fire protection, alarm and access control systems, has led to METZ CONNECT developing a future-oriented product innovation which offers an intelligent alternative solution for pluggable RJ45 solutions for wall-mounted devices with a permanent cable connection.

Charge and discharge cycles have an impact on the longevity of lithium ion batteries used in electric vehicles and the ultra-capacitors used for energy storage in photovoltaic systems. For this reason, it is necessary for battery safety and longevity to be able to establish the state of charge (SoC) and the state of function (SoF).

30,000 amperes measured, 100,000 amperes next target!

Isabellenhütte Heusler GmbH & Co. KG, Hesse, Germany, has made inroads into the high-current range of industrial applications with shunt current measurement. The measurement of currents of up to 30,000 amperes using low-ohmic shunts can truly be seen as unique. Moreover, the company's next target is 100,000 amperes.

The VS–501 VCSO (Voltage Controlled Saw Oscillator) from Vectron is a high frequency, ultra low phase noise oscillator designed to support high speed data converters and 100G coherent optical receivers. The VS–501 provides 12fs rms jitter in a 12kHz to 20MHz integration bandwidth and is available from 1.3GHz to 1.8GHz.

The PX–724 is a quad frequency crystal oscillator, based upon Vectron's high performance phase locked loop (HPLL) frequency multplier ASIC that combines key digital synthesis techniques with VI's proven core analog technology blocks. A standard low frequency crystal provides the reference to the fractonal–n synthesizer so that virtually any frequency between 10MHz and 1200MHz can be factory programmed allowing quick turn manufacturing.
