Honeywell Toggle Switches for Demanding Applications
 
Honeywell Environmental and hermetic sealed switches for demanding environments are the best in the world.  
 
HW Toggle Switch
 
  • Completely sealed switching chamber to withstand wet, dust and dirty environments MIL-qualifications for military applications
  •  2 or 3 position, momentary and/or maintained action to meet  any circuitry requirement. 1-, 2- or 4-pole circuitries are also available 
  • IWTS (Integrated wire termination system) offered for ease of  assembly and additional behind the panel sealing
  • Low profile switches available where space behind panel is limited
  • Pull-to-unlock lever available to prevent accidental operation
  • Switches available for low-cost commercial applications

Intelligent Angle Measurement from Pepperl+Fuchs
 
The PMI360D-F130 inductive angle measurement sensor provides non-contact position detection for rotation movements.
 
The device has an accuracy of 0.4° and provides analog output based on the robust and proven inductive sensor technology. With a measuring range of 0...360° and two switching points, which can be individually programmed on the device, the PMI360D-F130 inductive angle measurement sensor is suitable for a wide range of position detection applications on the factory floor.

Honeywell Microwave Attenuators
 
Designed with Honeywell's patented SOI CMOS technology, our attenuators feature low insertion loss and high performance.
 
They offer the unique combination benefits of low DC power consumption found in CMOS with the attenuation accuracy and GHz frequency range of a GaAs product.
 
HW Microwave Attenuator
   We offer attenuators in both serial and parallel
   architectures in small, space saving 4x4 mm QFN 
   packages. Differentiating features of Honeywell  
   Attenuators include low insertion loss, fast settling time 
   after switching states, accurate attenuation of radio
   frequency (RF) signal amplitude with serial or parallel digital
   control.

New!   Accelerometers from Silicon Designs Inc.
 
Silicon Designs, Inc. (SDI) has developed a miniature accelerometer technology which combines additive micro machining and integrated circuit technology to produce a highly reliable, exceptionally rugged, capacitive acceleration sensor.  
 
Our current sensor technology supports accelerometers with full scale sensitivity from 2 g to over 20,000 g. Over our standard range (2 to 400 g), most accelerometers can continue in spec. operation after sustained exposure of up to 10,000 g and limited temperature exposure above 200°C. 
 
 

                                 SDI Capacitive Accelerometer


 
SDI Capacitive Accelerometers:  
  • 2 to 1000 g Full Scale
  • DC & Dynamic Acceleration Response
  • Wide Temperature Range (-55/+125°C available)
  • Various Accelerometer Outputs:
    • Digital: 100 to 1000 kHz Clock Frequency
    • Analog: +4V Differential or 0.5 to 4.5V Single Ended
  • + 1% Operational Linearity
  • Overshock Resistance to 10,000 g

Proven Uses:

  • Automotive - Testing, suspension, Air Bags
  • Agricultural - Harvesting shock & vibration, Production line monitoring
  • Manufacturing - Testing, Production line monitoring, Shipping monitoring
  • Transportation - Rail-car sensing, Shipping monitoring, Testing
  • Down Hole Drilling - Tilt/Attitude sensing, Machinery health

MTI 1510A Precision Signal Source/Function Generator
 
                  The 1510A Precision Signal Source features dual-channel
                  Direct Digital Synthesis (DSS) that produces high accuracy       
                  signals over a wide amplitude MTI 1510Aand frequency range in a compact, 
 portable device.
 
 It features both voltage and charge (pC) signals to simulate a 
 variety of transducers and sensors. With multiple wave shapes,
 adjustable frequency, amplitude and phase, a sweep function,
 and 40 memory locations, it's the ideal too for all your test and
 calibration needs.
 
                  The 1510A also includes a new low-voltage bridge mode that
                  generates 5-100,000 µV, with closed-loop control, allowing
                  accurate calibration of strain gage circuits and similar sensors.
