An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Outdoor cooler uses bi-polar thermostatic control from Laird Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Laird Technologies has announced the release of its outdoor thermoelectric cooler series with bi-polar thermostatic control. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Oscillator achieves ultra-low phase noise from Z-Communications: "Z-Communications has announced an RoHS-compliant VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) in S-band for digital radio and fixed wireless applications that require ultra-low phase noise performance. ".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Harting - take a look at Compact metal hoods for contact inserts which says: "A new range of hoods for Harting's Han-Compact industrial connectors offers a choice of straight or angled cable entry and variants with surfaces for standard and EMC applications.".
Take a look also at the news release from Rogers, Rugged flame-retardent laminates for military PCBs, as well as Valve connector simplifies manufacturing process from Molex, and Sensor IC withstands harsh automotive environments from Allegro Microsystems.
