EAO offers a fully comprehensive range of high quality, reliable and RoHS compliant DIP switches, manufactured by switch and control specialist, Grayhill. This range features a good process seal providing water resistance for cleaning. The 'half pitch' DIP switch range is suitable for any application where size is of a premium, including notebook computers, hand held radios, industrial control products and CD rom drives amongst others.

The SPST, standard and low profile DIP switches are available in raised or recessed, rocker, slide and PIANO-DIP styles, with a sealed base as standard, spring and ball contact and a top tape seal option.

The SPDT and DPST DIP switch ranges are available in raised and recessed rocker, slide and toggle actuated styles, with common poles or isolated circuits, spring and ball contacts and a top tape seal option for most styles.

The side actuated PIANO-DIP switch is available with the option to be compatible with SMT assembly and features and infrared reflow and vapour phase, and is easily accessed when PC boards are racked.

This range also features a reliable spring and ball contact.

Constructed from high quality materials, and tested rigorously to meet international standards, EAO's DIP switch range manufactured by Grayhill provides the complete ergonomic solution.

AVX and its German distributor Rutronik were recognised by German magazine Elektronik for AVX's niobium oxide range of capacitors in the NOJ/NOS/NOM series.
AVX and its German distributor Rutronik were recognised by German magazine Elektronik for AVX's niobium oxide range of capacitors in the NOJ/NOS/NOM series. OxiCap was voted one of the most technologically innovative products of 2005 by the publication's readers. The niobium oxide-based system is lead and halogen-free, environmentally friendly, and provides a high level of safety and security due to self-healing and self-arresting mechanisms.

The parts offer an MTBF in the range of 200,000 to 500,000 hours, performing 100 times better than aluminium electrolyte capacitors.

Moreover, they do not suffer from the Dry Out condition.

Furthermore, OxiCap capacitors withstand a 3x reflow profile up to 260degC, complying with JEDEC 020C lead-free requirements.

Such performance enables mass production of advanced PCBs including rework.

The devices are RoHS-compliant and offer a reliable alternative to aluminium electrolytics.

OxiCap is ideal for consumer, automotive entertainment, high volume cellular and computer applications.

Niobium oxide capacitors are manufactured and sold under patent license from Cabot Corporation, Boyertown, Pennsylvania U.S.A.

'Industrial Ethernet: from the office to the machine - worldwide' is a new book, written by Ronald Dietrich of Harting, which offers an authoritative, definitive guide to the subject.
'Industrial Ethernet: from the office to the machine - worldwide' is a new book, written by Ronald Dietrich of Harting, which offers an authoritative, definitive guide to the subject. The book contains 167 pages of comprehensive technical information and application guidelines. It starts with general information about fieldbus technology before describing Industrial Ethernet and the relevant standards in detail.

It then covers transmission technology and cabling, and looks at future developments before presenting an overview of currently available products.

Also include are a list of standards and guidelines, a comprehensive bibliography, links to a range of relevant web sites, and a glossary of Industrial Ethernet terminology.

EAO, the Expert Partner for Human Machine Interfaces, offers custom-built membrane-switch solutions with illuminated controls and a superior tactile response.
EAO, the Expert Partner for Human Machine Interfaces, offers custom-built membrane-switch solutions with illuminated controls and a superior tactile response. EAO can design and build complete operator interfaces using their technically-advanced, PCB-mounted Series 70 switches rather than conventional metal dome membrane switches. Interfaces built with Series 70 are more reassuring to use than those with domes because the operator can clearly feel and hear the 'click'.

They offer a long service life of up to five million operations.

Series 70 switches are offered with bright, full-face LED illumination in a range of popular colours - including white.

The new white LEDs can be used behind coloured insertion strips which allow customers to change the configuration of the panels according to the end user application.

These bright LEDs provide a clear indication of status even from a distance.

EAO's Series 70 membrane solutions have proven themselves throughout the world, in applications ranging from instrumentation and machine tools to high-speed trains.

EAO's skilled engineering department provides a full, solutions design service based on careful consideration of the operating environment and end user - critical factors for membrane interfaces.

The service includes electronic circuit and industrial design, front panel integration, custom marking and graphic design, colour matching, and rigorous in-house testing to international standards.

A comprehensive customer solutions service from EAO, the expert in human machine interfaces, ensures that complex HMI solutions are integrated seamlessly into customer projects, on schedule and on budget.
