Mouser lancerer nye teknologi-sites

Mouser Electronics 'åbner' to nye teknologi-sites, der fokuserer på henholdsvis automotive og elektronik, der skal opererer i hårde brugsmiljøer (in english).

Mouser Electronics has launched its new technology site on Mouser.com featuring 'Harsh Environments'. The new site contains technical information that aids design engineers’ thought process in developing and designing new solutions that meet the most stringent, rigorous operating conditions.

While electronic components are primarily designed for stable, controlled environments, the real world often dictates extreme conditions. For example, dust, water, and even corrosive atmospheres occasionally factor into the design and present other challenges that push components to the 'Nth' degree.

The high temperature of downhole applications is a huge challenge to electronic components. Temperatures upwards of 200°C are not uncommon and even exceed the melting point of some solders. Driven by our endless quest for natural resources and energy, it’s an area that exemplifies continual advancement and remains a key focus for downhole engineers worldwide.

Other areas covered are the IP Code (IEC 60529) and NEMA Type Number (NEMA 250). These ratings designate the various types and degrees of protection afforded to electrical equipment by a housing or enclosure against water, dust, corrosive agents, and more.

In addition, the site provides extra resources to help spearhead design development such as in-depth industry articles, white papers and a comprehensive library of technical resources that can be reviewed by topic or supplier. A Featured Products guide and user-friendly graphical interface are designed to speed navigation. Engineers can quickly navigate to products and information based on defined parameters and design requirements.

- The rationale behind our Technology sites is to educate, help narrow the list of products, and find the right products for their design projects. Applications that fall in the Harsh Environments category, especially downhole, require robust, reliable components capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, intense vibration, water, and more. Our goal is to help transform knowledge into design know-how – all with the simple click of a mouse, says Kevin Hess, Mouser Vice President of Technical Marketing.

Automotive site

Mouser Electronics has also recently launched a new application and technology site on Mouser.com focused on Automotive Design. The new site helps speed design engineers in finding the latest automotive advancements, sourcing product information via block diagram navigation, and pinpointing the latest technical resources in as few clicks as possible.

The site features new products from industry-leading manufacturers, such as Texas Instruments, Freescale Semiconductor, Maxim Integrated Products, ON Semiconductor, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, KEMET, Molex and Microchip Technology, to name just a few.

Mouser’s Automotive Application site is a comprehensive application resource centre covering key systems including the Instrument Cluster, Rear Vision Systems, Keyless Entry, plus other insightful industry news that gets engineers moving quickly down the design road. In addition, the site provides extra resources to help spearhead design development such as in-depth industry articles, white papers and a comprehensive library of technical resources that can be reviewed by topic or supplier.

The site’s block diagram navigation and streamlined graphical interface is designed to speed navigation. Engineers can quickly navigate to products and information based on defined parameters and engineering standards – all centered on automotive-specific design needs.

- The automotive industry requires tougher, more reliable parts, capable of withstanding mechanical shock, high temperature, intense vibration and more. From automotive-grade microcontrollers to AEC-qualified capacitors, engineers looking to deliver the next generation of vehicles will find Mouser’s Automotive Application site both helpful and intuitive, providing useful application information and component selection criteria in a single click, says Kevin Hess.
