High-performing Sensors Designed to Help Reduce Manufacturing Costs
and Increase Application Flexibility

Honeywell introduces its HIH-5030/5031 Series humidity sensor that supports demanding system performance requirements, providing enhanced stability, accuracy, and response time over the entire humidity range of 0 %RH ~100 %RH.

The HIH-5030/5031 Series includes a Surface Mount Device (SMD) product on tape and reel that allows for use in automated, high-volume, lower cost pick-and-place manufacturing (1,000 units per reel), reducing lead misalignment to printed circuit board through-holes. Low supply voltage (down to 2.7 Vdc) and low current draw often allows for use in low drain, battery operated systems. Additionally, the HIH-5030/5031 Series’ accuracy, interchangeability, response time, and stability may contribute to cost savings over the life of the product.

The HIH-5030/3031 Series complements Honeywell’s existing HIH-4030/4031 Series of SMD humidity sensors. The Series consists of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS)-based humidity sensors that use capacitive technology to provide an analog voltage output in a solderable SMD package. The sensing element's multi-layer construction provides enhanced resistance to most application hazards such as condensation, dust, dirt, oils, and common environmental chemicals.

The HIH-5030 is a covered integrated circuit humidity sensor. The HIH-5031 is a covered, condensation-resistant, integrated circuit humidity sensor that is factoryfitted with a hydrophobic filter allowing it to be used in many condensing environments.

HIH-5030/5031 Series humidity sensors’ potential industrial and medical applications include air compressors and drying equipment, battery-powered systems, HVAC, OEM assemblies, process equipment, refrigeration, weather stations and meteorology equipment, hospital air compressors, infant incubators, microenvironments, sleep apnea equipment, and treadmill stress monitoring equipment.

FMAC ECO / FMBC ECO – Cost optimized 3-phase line filters

SCHURTER presents its new 3-phase line filters, series FMAC ECO and FMBC ECO. These compact and cost optimized filters are in ECO designed and especially suited for use in drive systems, engineering installations and places where frequency inverters cause electromagnetic disturbances. 

The EMC filters are arranged for use with 480 VAC installations and are available in single or two stage versions. The FMAC ECO single stage filter is available from 10A, while the two stage FMBC ECO filter from 8A. The FMBC ECO series has a leakage current of just 5 mA, making it ideal for use in installations equipped with residual current circuit breakers. The filters can be mounted lengthwise or upright which provides maximum flexibility in design. With these new 3-phase line filters, SCHURTER focuses on costs savings while efficiently solving EMC problems.

The series has ENEC approvals. Approvals to cURus have been applied for.

Technical features:
-  3-phase line filter for 480 VAC
-  Rated current range FMAC ECO (single stage): 10 – 150 A
-  Rated current range FMBC ECO (two stage): 8 – 115 A
-  2 mounting options
-  ENEC approval, UL pending

The 30 amp versions of the CKR series 22.5mm DIN rail solid state relays offer an exceptionally high surge current rating for enhanced reliability in applications, including those using circuit breaker protection!

Crydom, an operation of Custom Sensors and Technologies (CST) and global expert in solid state relay technology, introduces enhanced one-cycle surge current and I2T ratings in the popular 30 amp CKRA / CKRD series 22.5mm solid state relays. Higher surge and I2T ratings are made possible by utilizing larger power semiconductors thus providing greater current handling capabilities.

As part of an ongoing process to improve and validate existing design specifications, engineers at Crydom have increased the 30A CKR series one-cycle surge current and I2T ratings which are now well in excess of the previously published specifications. Utilizing oversized SCR die and with a superior mechanical and thermal design, the CKRxx30 relays now boast a 1,140Apk / 1,200Apk (50Hz / 60Hz) one-cycle surge current rating, and a 6,500A2S / 6,000A2S (50Hz / 60Hz) I2t rating.

These enhanced ratings make the CKR 30 amp series ideal for use in heavy industrial applications where surge currents may be of significant concern, or where branch circuit protection is provided by slower reacting  circuit breakers. 

Additional features and benefits of the CKR series include a compact 22.5mm DIN mount package, integral heat sink that eliminates the need for additional thermal calculations and assembly, LED input status indicator, 4000V optical isolation, cage-clamp terminals, optional internal overvoltage protection, and an internal RC snubber network. They are available with output ratings up to 30 amps at 530Vac with either zero-crossing (resistive loads) or random turn-on (inductive loads) switching. They are also available with a 4-32Vdc, 90-280Vac, or 18-36Vac input.

The CKR series solid state relays are UL recognized, CSA certified, VDE approved, and RoHS and CE compliant. Crydom’s CKR series are for ideal for use in a wide variety of applications including resistive heating, motor, and lighting control systems.
