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 […]

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 […]
Capacitive sensor certified to EHEDG
Rechner Sensor KA1244 has a hygienic designed housing and is certified by EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group). Certification type: EL Class I The PEEK surface has the high-quality Ra 0.4 μm for smoothness and the PEEK conforms to EC 1935/2004 for traceability of the materials. The beveled edge body design prevents the possibility […]
Safe compact encoders for autonomous vehicles
Safe angle and speed measurement is a key requirement in vehicles, including autonomous industrial trucks. This is possible with functionally safe and certified encoders with a suitable safety interface on rotary axes or drive motors. Autonomous vehicles can quickly approach their target positions with safe position and speed data. Monitoring by compact safety encoders helps […]
