PRODUCT SHOWCASE Authorised distributor Mouser Electronics ships the newest genuine parts An update from Mark Burr-Lonnon: Senior VP of Sales and Global Service & EMEA and APAC Business, Mouser Electronics. While some engineers may be tempted to buy the least expensive parts on the market, those parts may be from questionable sources or, worse, counterfeit. This can lead to design problems, manufacturing delays, and customer dissatisfaction — something that is hard to recover from. Mouser Electronics customers can expect 100% certified, genuine products that are fully traceable to each of our 800+ manufacturers from our stock of over one million different components. Mouser is the industry’s first authorised distributor to be accredited with AS6496, the aerospace industry’s high standard for anti-counterfeit measures. This standard sets requirements for the avoidance, detection, mitigation and disposition of counterfeit products in the supply chain. The threat of counterfeit components entering the supply chain has been a growing concern in recent years as demand increases and fake parts are harder to detect. That’s why it’s more important than ever to buy from an authorised distributor like Mouser. Mouser is also registered to AS9100D/ISO 9001:2015 and ANSI/ ESD S20.20-2014, the industry’s gold standards for quality, control, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. Mouser’s AS9100D/ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System adds additional aviation, space and defence industry requirements, including procedures and processes for the prevention of counterfeit parts. In the quickly evolving world of electronic components, where technical development is in a constant state of advancement, Mouser customers can order with confidence. It’s also reassuring to know that Mouser goes to great lengths to identify products that are “not recommended for new designs” (NRND). Buying from Mouser, design engineers and buyers can be confident they’re always designing with the most advanced electronics available, and can even subscribe to receive these product notifications online. Mouser clearly identifies end-of-life, obsolete and NRND products to avoid the use of older components in new designs, providing a speed-to-market advantage for customers and avoiding early obsolescence. Mouser also gives suggestions for component alternatives, along with the risk level for those potential replacements. Mouser delivers easy and rapid access to essential technical data and application resources — such as product datasheets, application design notes, white papers, videos, and other solution-based content — to aid in the design process. Mouser has just completed a massive expansion of our global headquarters and distribution centre in Texas, USA, which now stands at 1 million square feet (93,000m²), with state-ofthe-art automation technologies. Currently, Mouser has 27 locations worldwide, including new facilities in Brazil, the Philippines, Vietnam and Poland, all of which offer customers local language, currency and sametime-zone support. Mouser now also offers a new Price and Availability Assistant, which allows customers to easily check prices and availability on millions of electronic components. Customers can simply drag and drop, type in or load (copy and paste) a parts list with desired quantities for rapid pricing and availability results. Customers can add up to 200 part numbers, with up to three different quantities per part number. The tool returns exact part matches for each line and offers replacement options for any non-orderable part numbers. Of course, customers can still browse products and narrow down product information via the Mouser website. Featuring a streamlined user interface, smart filtering and prominent search results, www.mouser.com enables engineers to spend less time searching and more time finding the right parts.

Featuring fully sealed side door access with a secure single-lock latch, an internal cabinet size of 835 x 510mm and an internal height of 360-550mm front to back, this sandblasting cabinet has ample room for your larger jobs. This model also includes a LED internal work light, protective glove, blast gun, hopper and stand, replacement protective screens and an assortment of ceramic tips. The included hopper effectively recycles your abrasive blast beads so that you can continue to use them until they break down into fine dust. To remove the used blast material, simply open the spring-loaded hatch on the bottom of the hopper. This model also has provisions to connect a dust collector system so you can always have a clear vision of your job while blasting.

This gives a significant speed increase over WiFi 5 (802.11ac) and also reduces latency by about 75%. Bandpass filters are critical components for RF (radio-frequency) wireless devices, to keep the signal within the assigned frequencies. WiFi RF chipsets must have proper filtering for legal compliance in a small footprint. Johanson Technology are releasing passive surface-mounted bandpass filters for the new WiFi 6E standard. They are cost-effective, available in small footprints, as shown below, and have low insertion loss. For example, the 6530BP44A1190 has a passband of 5.925-7.125GHz. It’s made with a proprietary ceramic mate- rial in an LTCC (low temperature cofired ceramic) manufacturing process, designed to provide a high Q factor. The filters are packaged in a monolithic device called an Integrated Passive Component (IPC). These combine multiple discrete passives into a single surface-mounted device that reduces the board space required. Because the LTCC manufacturing process is precise and repeatable, Johanson Technology can guarantee the IPC will pass its RF performance requirements.
