Watertight connector

The 0T series connector is a small-sized watertight connector using LEMO push-pull technology. Based on the LEMO B series, the 0T series connector includes an inner-sleeve and extra sealing to enable IP68 water protection. The 0T series is available in 2- to 9-contact configurations. Contacts can be terminated by soldering to the wire, crimping onto the wire, or directly to a printed circuit board. A keying system ensures correct connector alignment and the connector outer shell has full electromagnetic interference shielding.

Features

  • Backwards compatible with LEMO B series
  • Black-chrome or plated-brass outer shell finish
  • Uses configurations and contact system from LEMO B series range

Iso-drivider for space applications

The Iso-divider combines the functions of power dividers with ferrite isolators for a high-isolation power divider solution, making external isolators unnecessary for satellite receivers without introducing complex switch-based solutions. Integration of the two functions improves product reliability due to fewer external components, interconnects, and transitions. Marrying the power divider and isolators allows the performance of the integrated unit to be matched for better overall performance with reduced size and weight.

X-ray detectors for OEMs

Mythen2R high-performance microstrip X-ray detectors, used in laboratory and portable diffractometers, feature full-range titanium-to-silver detection, favorable signal-to-noise ratios, and can be combined into larger systems. The detectors come in two module designs: the 1,280-strip module for laboratory diffractometers, and the 640-strip module for portable diffractometers and robots for stress measurements. Detectors offer wide, angular coverage for simultaneous operation of up to four modules, achieved with a gap of 6mm between the sensitive areas of the modules.

Applications

  • X-ray powder diffraction and scattering techniques
  • Residual stress measurements
  • Thin film and texture analysis
  • Dispersive fluorescence spectroscopy

Features

  • Strip width: 50µm, with thicknesses of 320µm, 450µm, and 1,000µm
  • Strip length: 4mm and 8mm
  • Optimal signal-to-noise ratios
