Cellular Blade Antennas Deliver the Highest Radiated Efficiency Performance in a Standard Product

Pulse Electronics, a worldwide leader in electronic component and subassembly design and manufacturing, introduces its new cellular, penta-band blade antennas with cable and SMA connectors. These antennas deliver at least 50% radiated efficiency in all frequency bands
in which they operate while still providing voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) figures of 1.5 decibels (dB). They provide a wireless connection to cellular networks using 850, 900, 1800, 1900, and 2100 megahertz (MHz) frequencies typical in GSM, CDMA, DCS, PCS, WCDMA, UMTS, HSPA, GPRS, 3G, and EDGE in platforms, in applications such as machine-to-machine (M2M), smart metering, monitoring, security, data logging, and data collection. They are a cost-effective M2M antenna for the industrial marketplace.

Pulse's penta-band blade antennas come in two configurations, the W1920G0915, which has a three-foot cable, and the W1920G3658, with a 12-foot cable. Measuring 110 x 22 x 5 millimeters and weighing 29 grams with the shorter cable, this is the smallest penta-band blade antenna capable of operating at 50% efficiency in every frequency band. Efficiency is important because it measures how much of the transmitted signal is actually used, rather than lost, by the antenna. The higher the efficiency, the less power is needed from the radio and the more economical the design. Greater efficiency also gives higher integrity to the data collection due to a greater signal emanating from the antenna.

A slightly flexible covering makes mounting easier and lowers the design cost as compared to a hard case antenna. It has a strong adhesive mounting and comes with an RG174 black cable and SMA male connector. Other specifications include a gain of minimum 1 decibel isotropic (dBi), a nominal impedance of 50 Ω, an omni-directional radiation pattern in the horizontal plane, vertical polarization, and a power rating of 3 watts.

“The W1920G0915 antenna gives M2M customers confidence in their cellular network connections,” said Elaine Baxter, marketing manager, Pulse Wireless Devices Antenna Division. “Its demonstrated efficiency exceeds the competition for this size of penta-band blade antenna.”

Pulse's penta-band blade antennas come packaged in bags with SMA connectors. The W1920G0915 and W1920G3638 are the SMA male versions with two cable length options. Custom cable options and alternative connectors are available upon request. They are easy to implement and come with Pulse's worldwide technical support. Prices for the W1920G0915 antennas are about $5.50 in quantities of 50,000 and for the W1920G3658 about $6.35 and may vary according to destination and order configuration. Delivery is about 8 weeks; products are available now.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to
