Bourns Model EMS22 Non-Contacting Magnetic Rotary Encoders

Bourns Model EMS22 are non-contacting rotary magnetic encoders with a Hall Effect application-specific standard product (ASSP) capable of producing four distinct output waveforms. These waveforms include 2-bit quadrature up to 256 Pulses per Revolution (PPR), Step/Direction up to 512 PPR, Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) output with 1024 positions, and Absolute with 1024 positions. Model EMS22 is available in both a 3.3 and 5.0 Vdc supply voltage and is offered in two different versions. These encoders have the capability of rotating up to 10,000 RPM while maintaining code accuracy, making them suitable for MMI applications such as industrial automation. This performance is achieved by utilizing dual ball bearings in the construction of each device, resulting in extended rotational life up to 100,000,000 shaft revolutions. The EMS22 non-contacting encoders are ideal for use in harsh environments where extreme levels of temperature, moisture, and particles are present. Their outstanding performance is attributed to the non-contacting technology and superior performance of the austriamicrosystems® AS5040 Hall Effect ASSP.

Bourns 2030-XXT-SM Series 3-Pole Miniature Gas Discharge Tube

Bourn's 2030-XXT-SM Series 3-Pole Miniature Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) is designed to provide superior protection against fast rising voltage transients. With a very fast impulse limiting performance of 5 kV, 1.2 x 50 μs, the Bourns 2030-XXT-SM Series 3-Pole Miniature GDT is ideally suited for use with the TBU® High-Speed Protectors (HSP). Together, the 2030-XXT-SM Series 3-Pole GDT and TBU HSP offer extremely fast overcurrent protection (OCP) and overvoltage protection (OVP) against electrical transients. When exposed to a transient event, TBU HSP transitions into a current-blocking condition in less than one microsecond at the rated current. When needed, the 2030-XXT-SM Series 3-Pole GDT transitions into conduction at a voltage below its maximum impulse rating, protecting the TBU HSP from overvoltage and shunting the excess surge energy to ground. After the transient subsides, 2030-XXT-SM Series 3-Pole GDT and TBU HSP will reset to their normal off-state modes of operation. Bourns 2030-XXT-SM Series Fast Acting 3-Pole Miniature Gas Discharge Tube and TBU HSP offer exceptional voltage protection for a wide range of industrial applications as well as telecom applications requiring GR-1089 or ITU-T K.21 compliance.

Bourns LSPxAJR Series LED Shunt Protectors

Bourns LSPxAJR Series LED Shunt Protectors are electronic shunts that provide a current bypass when an LED element in an LED string fails open circuit. This ensures the remaining string of LEDs will continue to function. Adding Bourns LSP Series shunt protectors to an LED design allows the healthy LEDs in the string to remain illuminated by shunting current around the inoperable open circuit LED. Bourns LSPxAJR Series LED Shunt Protectors employ proven thyristor technology similar to Bourns TISP® devices. During normal operation of the circuit, there is no current flowing through the device. Only in the event of an open circuit does the Bourns LSP device become active. These shunts are ideal for applications in which high reliability of the LED lighting must be maintained, such as LCD backlighting, transport lighting, avionics, intrinsically safe, and low maintenance lighting. The LSP Series is available in a surface mount package DO-214AC (SMA) size format.
