Current sensors and current shunt monitors for common-mode voltages and temperatures
Texas Instruments debuted new current sensors to help engineers simplify their designs while improving accuracy. Designed for a broad range of common-mode voltages and temperatures, the new products include a lowest-drift isolated Hall-effect current sensor for high-voltage systems and a portfolio of current shunt monitors that eliminate the need for an external shunt resistor for […]
Tiny IR sensor modules feature modulated carrier output for code learning
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. introduced three new miniaturized infrared (IR) sensor modules for remote control systems. Featuring modulated carrier output for code learning applications, the Vishay Semiconductors dual-lens TSMP95000 and single-lens TSMP96000 and TSMP98000 combine a wide supply voltage range from 2.0 V to 5.5 V with a low typical power consumption of 0.35 mA at 3.3 V. […]
ETL-rated position sensors for accurate valve position in chemical plants
Major chemical companies are using Hazardous Location Position Sensors from NewTek Sensor Solutions to monitor the state of different valves throughout their plants as part of process safety and efficiency management. Chemical plants using potentially explosive substances in their processes utilize different valves to control flow. Operators constantly monitor valve performance to determine if they […]
New universal latch sensor
Southco, Inc. has introduced a Universal Latch Sensor (ULS) for enhanced security and constant monitoring. Southco’s Universal Latch Sensor is a simple magnet that attaches to an existing latch, and a magnetic sensor that attaches to the inside of an existing door frame. When the door is closed, and the latch is engaged, the magnet […]

Custom LVDT sensor detects part errors in automotive applications
NewTek Sensor Solutions has designed a custom LVDT position sensor for resistance spot welding machines used in automotive plants to detect missing or misaligned parts in nut and stud welding. Cars contain hundreds of welded nuts and studs that hold them together. Properly securing the right nut and stud to different car components is critical […]
Rotary potentiometer offered in single, dual-gauge, and dual-gang + on-off switch models
CUI Devices’ Motion & Control Group announced the introduction of a new rotary potentiometer series offering single or dual-gang models as well as dual-gang options with an on-off switch. The PTN16 series is housed in a 16.5 mm package with shaft lengths of 15, 20, 25, or 30 mm and D-cut or knurled shaft styles. […]
IR motion sensor also detects still object
STMicroelectronics is launching a novel human-presence and -motion detector to enhance security systems, home automation equipment, and IoT devices that typically use passive infrared (PIR) sensing. The STHS34PF80 sensor contains thermal transistors that can detect stationary objects, unlike conventional PIR detectors that require the detected object to be moving to produce a measurable response from the sensor. Also, while […]
Transceivers allow changes to systems’ sensor functions by simple register settings
THine Electronics, Inc. releases its new serial transceiver products, THCS253 and THCS254, that enable systems with many peripheral sensors to simplify cabling for the sensor and control functions. These products enable reductions of system cost, size, and weight, and provide future options to add new sensors with minimal design efforts. THCS253 and THCS254 are […]
