ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS Voltage Controlled Oscillator Connector for Single-Phase AC Applications Anderson Power Products (Sterling, MA) has introduced the Saf-D-Grid 300, designed for single-phase AC applications requiring higher voltages, smaller size, and expanded current carrying capability. Saf-D-Grid 300 builds upon the 400 V DC Saf-D-Grid connector, using the same silver-plated, pure copper contact system, and thermoplastic insulators. Features include: ■ Configurations for up to 30 A and 300 V. ■ Separate mechanical keys for 10 A and 20 A configurations. ■ A maximum operating temperature of 80ÛC. ■ A high temperature glass-filled nylon receptacle housing. ■ Universal touch safety. ■ An integral latch on the plug housing. ■ An optional ground-tied shield. www.andersonpower.com Analog Input Modules B&R (Atlanta, GA) has added 2 analog input modules to its X20 I/O series that can be used to digitize signals from strain gauges: the X20AIA744 with 2 fullbridge strain gauge inputs and the X20AIB744 with 4 full-bridge strain gauge inputs. Features include: ■ Up to 4 strain gauge channels housed in a module as thin as a single-channel unit. ■ The ability to work with 4-wire strain gauge load cells. ■ 24-bit converter resolution. www.br-automation.com Crystek Corporation (Fort Meyers, FL) has announced the CVCO55CC-3400-3400 VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator), operating at 3,400 MHz with a control voltage range of 0.3 to about 4.9 V. The VCO features a maximum phase noise of -112 dBc/Hz at 10 KHz offset and has suitable linearity. Features include: ■ An output power of +7.0 dBm max. ■ An industry-standard 0.5 x 0.5” SMD package. ■ An input voltage of 5 V typical. ■ A maximum current consumption of 35 mA. ■ Pulling and Pushing minimized to 0.3 MHz and 0.1 MHz/V, respectively. ■ A second harmonic suppression of -15 dBc typical. www.crystek.com AC/DC Power Supplies MicroPower Direct (Stoughton, MA) has announced the MDR-240S and MDR-120S compact DIN rail mountable AC/DC power supplies. They are suitable for a variety of industrial applications, providing a compact form factor, robust performance, and long field reliability. Features include: ■ A universal input range. ■ 92% efficiency. ■ Low noise and tight line/load regulation. ■ A universal 85 to 264 VAC input. ■ Tightly regulated 24 VDC outputs. ■ An input/output isolation of 3,000 VAC. ■ Continuous short circuit protection (with auto recovery). ■ An MTBF (per MIL HDBK 217F) of 300 khours for each model. ■ Compact DIN rail mount cases. ■ An operating temperature range from -25° to +70°C. www.micropowerdirect.com Dual-Channel RF Signal Generator Saelig Company (Fairport, NY) has announced the SynthHD Dual-channel RF Signal Generator. The portable device is a compact, software-tunable, dual channel RF signal generator which can be controlled by a Windows or Linux PC via its USB port, or run as a standalone generator. Features include: ■ Frequency stepping to better than 0.1 Hz on each channel. ■ Control of the relative phase between channels to less than a millidegree. ■ An amplitude to 0.01 dB, producing up to +22 dBm of power per channel. ■ Dual independent channels. ■ The ability to run at 2 different frequencies. ■ The ability to run at the same frequency with different phases in 0.01Û steps. 16 NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2015 ■ An open source Labview GUI. ■ Power levels settable from -50 to +20 dBm in 0.1 dB increments. ■ Powerful software and firmware features. ■ A compact size (2.75 x 2.15” excluding mounting flanges). www.saelig.com Product Design & Development Digital
