The Phymetrix Mini-Demister separates liquid-vapour mixtures in portable gas analysers, so that they do not compromise sensitive analyser components. Suitable for SF6 moisture-measurement oil-carryover separation, it fits on top of the Phymetrix PPMa hand-held moisture analyser. The Mini-Demister allows liquids to settle to the bottom of the separator under force of gravity, where they are drained out through a metering valve. The sample travels through the container tube at a low velocity, minimising the entrainment of any liquid droplets in the gas as it exits near the top of the separator and flows down into the analyser. The glass container tube affords the operator a 360deg view of the accumulated liquid. Adjusting the drain-metering valve optimises the liquid removal with minimum waste of sample gas. The product is miniaturised (1 x 3.65in) to allow connecting directly on top of a small, hand-held analyser, such as the Phymetrix PPMa, as well as other manufacturer's gas an...

Mini-BNC Connectors Increase Wiring Densities A new range of 75ohm Mini-BNC connectors, engineered by Cambridge Connectors to meet 3G SDI video requirements, can increase wiring densities by up to a third. With a pitch of 12mm, compared to the standard BNC pitch of 16mm, the range is suitable for routing and switching equipment used extensively in video transmission networks. Its small size and weight make it suitable for outside broadcasts and similar confined or portable environments. A choice of straight, right-angle and printed-circuit-board (PCB) edge mounting styles is available with the additional option of a two-part version offering the opportunity for PCB hot-swapping. Reflection factors (VSWR) range between 1.04 at 1.5GHz and 1.16 at 3GHz, depending on the configuration. With an operating temperature range of -65C to +85C and a contact mating cycle of 500, the range is fully RoHS compliant and comes with a standard finish of brass/nickel.
