High Temperature Cable
A new FireWire cable has been designed for high flexibility, mechanical stress, temperature extremes (-65°C to +165°C), and harsh environments. Its flat cable construction allows clear, high-speed data transmission, even in the toughest of environments.

A patented extrusion process allows two individually shielded 28 AWG 100 Ohm pairs and two shielded 22 AWG power wires to be placed in a flat profile, precisely controlling the spacing of each component, insulation thickness, and the overall cable shape. The compact, encased cable is engineered to provide weight and space savings, consistent electrical characteristics, premium current carrying capacity, reduced skewing effects, and EMI/RFI suppression.

Ultra-High Current Military Servo Drives
With ratings of 150A, 300A, and 600A, and operating voltages ranging from 16VDC to 96VDC, the newest Gold Eagle servo drives are specifically designed to meet the requirements of unmanned vehicles, turrets, and other systems that require repeated power bursts for relatively long time periods.

To enhance the compact Gold Eagle package with new ultra-high current specifications, proprietary power conversion technology is combined with an advanced pulse-width modulation (PWM) follower algorithm to achieve high current in a small military-grade package.

8251A Microchip Reborn
Commercial, industrial, and military versions of Intel’s 8251A integrated circuit are newly available, despite the microprocessor’s end-of-life notification nine years ago. As part of its Extension-of-Life Solutions, Rochester Electronics has been authorized to continue to manufacture and stock Intel’s 8251A Programmable Communication Interface, the industry-standard universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver/transmitter (USART).

8251A Specs

• Synchronous 5-8 bit characters; internal or external character synchronization; automatic sync insertion
• Asynchronous 5-8 bit characters; clock rate 1x, 16x, or 64x baud rate; break character generation; 1, 1.5, or 2 stop bits; false start bit detection, automatic break detect and handling
• Synchronous baud rate – DC to 64kBd
• Asynchronous baud rate – DC to 19.2kBd
• Full-duplex, double-buffered transmitter and receiver

Mini Magnetic Field Sensor
The BMF 243 drop-in C-slot magnetic field sensor features a miniature design, high repeat accuracy, and easy installation. Based on giant magnetoresistance (GMR) technology, the compact sensor offers high performance reserves for cylinders with both weak as well as strong magnets and offers high repeat accuracy and small hysteresis. Thanks to its small dimensions of 3.8mm x 24mm x 3mm, it’s a choice for particularly small grippers and cylinders with C-slots. With its integrated bracket, the sensor is simply inserted into the slot from above, fitting completely into the cylinder without protruding. The sensor is supplied with a cable clip that guarantees optimum strain relief and secures cable routing.

The BMF 243 is also available in a V-Twin version – two sensors with only one connector, which saves costs and reduces installation times.
