Both are 6 mm in dia. Custom designs are also offered. Spectronics Corp, Westbury, NY.   www.rsleads.com/210df-249


Single board computer
The ePCI-100 half-size Intel 810E chipset-based SBC meets the new PICM 1.2 Embedded PCI-X specification. Running at 866 MHz, the SBC has a PCI bus with 32-bit support. It also supports up to 512 MB of SODIMM memory, PCI Ultra DMA/66 IDE and CompactFlash. It also comes with an integrated 2D/3D 64-bit CRT video controller with DVI output. Kontron, San Diego, CA.   www.rsleads.com/210df-250


Braille button
Series 56 door-opener pushbutton now has a Braille option. Words such as ‘Open’ or ‘Close’ can be embossed in Braille on the raised bezel on either side of the pushbutton. For partially-sighted users, the raised bezel is available in standard yellow or orange, while red, blue, green, black, light- and dark-grey can be requested. EAO Switch Corp, Milford, CT.   www.rsleads.com/210df-251


Miniature toggles/pushbuttons
The B series of toggles and pushbuttons suits applications with extremely limited size and space restrictions. Antistatic construction prevents static discharge to the contacts from the operator. A Sliding Contact Crossbar (STC) mechanism provides smooth contact feel and high logic level switching reliability, as gold plated contacts are wiped clean with every actuation. They are offered in both single- and double-pole. NKK Switches, Scottsdale, AZ.   www.rsleads.com/210df-252


Heaters
Spiral heaters prevent pipes from freezing in high altitudes, cold climates or other harsh operating conditions. Designed for applications such as aircraft waste disposal systems, HVAC, industrial and military applications, these heaters provide expanded coverage for uniform heat distribution where complete material coverage is unnecessary. Various designs are offered. Invensys Sensor Systems, Pawtucket, RI.   www.rsleads.com/210df-254


Liquid level sensors
Featuring 2-wire resistance output or 4-wire output for low-level alarm, the ESS continuous output sensor can be fitted internally via M16 connection or externally via an SAE flange or mounting bush. The sensor has a stainless steel stem and single float traveling its length and is suitable for hygiene-critical applications requiring more precise level sensing than that provided by multi-point sensors. Gentech International Ltd, Girvan, Ayrshire, UK.   www.rsleads.com/210df-255


Capacitive actuator
These robust actuators possess no mechanical parts that could lead to a functional failure due to damage, freezing, wear or tear. They can provide pulse, momentary and latching action in externally exposed environments such as traffic light systems, elevators, public information terminals, industrial measuring equipment, military or construction equipment. Schurter Inc, Santa Rosa, CA.   www.rsleads.com/210df-256


Lock-out relays
Series 24 LORs feature manual-, electric- or self-reset capability, meeting virtually any application requirement on critical utility equipment. All Series 24 models offer multiple decks and contacts, and a selection of trip and reset coils that permit application-specific configuration. Contacts are rated at 60A for 1 minute and at 30A continuous in ranges of 125-250 VDC or 120-600 VAC. Electroswitch, Weymouth, MA.   www.rsleads.com/210df-257


Sound card
The AS3250 single chip silicon sound card is based on this company’s CMOS 0.25 µm technology, with a 32 bit RISC MCU/DSP core and advanced audio front-end.

The card runs off battery voltages between 1 and 5.5V for mobile applications. austriamicrosystems, Raleigh, NC.   www.rsleads.com/210df-258


Positive displacement pumps
An alternative to centrifugal pumps, these gear and lobe pumps provide a near-constant flow rate with minimal efficiency change, regardless of changes in system pressure or viscosity. High NPSHR capabilities keep fluid moving with less chance of cavitation in processes where a suction lift is required, or where a high vapor pressure fluid is being pumped. Viking Pump Inc, Cedar Falls, IA.   www.rsleads.com/210df-259


Displacement transducers
The WA-Electronic series of inductive displacement transducers provides a 0-10 VDC output signal, in models that include both plunger and spring-loaded probe configurations.

They can be built directly into hydraulic cylinder designs of up to 350 bar. HBM Inc, Marlborough, MA.   www.rsleads.com/210df-260


Metering pump
Suited to low flow, low pressure metering applications, the Pocket Bellows Metering pumps have adjustable flow rates that range to 252 ml/min and discharge pressures to 6 psi. Constructed entirely of plastic, the pumps are self-priming and can run dry. Standard motors are 115 or 230 VAC synchronous units, with an optional microswitch for stroke counting. Gorman-Rupp Industries, Bellville, OH.   www.rsleads.com/210df-261


Seal assemblies
This company’s catalog covers quartz-to-metal seal assemblies for designers and manufacturers of lasers, sight windows, high-wattage lamps, electro-optical equipment and semiconductor products. Standard moly-quartz is offered for mounting to flanges in 1.33-, 2.75- or 3.375-in. diameters, or in nine cup sizes from ˝- to 2-in. Bomco Inc, Gloucester, MA.   www.rsleads.com/210df-262


Industrial pumps
The Model D-15 is a horizontally oriented pump that can be direct coupled or belt-driven, producing flow to 13.4 gpm and pressure to 2500 psi. They are offered in a wide variety of corrosion resistant materials of construction, are self-priming and can run dry without damage. Five balanced diaphragms provide accurate, virtually pulse-free positive displacement delivery. Wanner Engineering Inc, Minneapolis, MN.   www.rsleads.com/210df-263


Intelligent pumps
The PZi Series adds microprocessor controls to enable a single model to accept both pulse and analog signals. The unit delivers constant output when powered by any single phase voltage from 94 to 264 VAC. Capacities available are 11, 22 or 38 gpd, with pressure to 140 psi. Accuracy is not affected by normal voltage fluctuations. Neptune Chemical Pump Co, Lansdale, PA.   www.rsleads.com/210df-264


Air filter media
Designed specifically for use in defense electronics enclosures with forced air cooling, these filters use Quadrafoam open cell polyurethane foam media treated with a thin layer of flame retardant coating. An anti-microbial additive keeps fungus growth to a zero rating. Quadrafoam is non-hazardous and pH neutralized for a long filter life.
