The subsidiaries of CTS Corporation - CTS Tusonix and CTS Electronic Components will be showcasing their latest innovations in electromagnetic (EMC) filters, switches and controls, RF filters, frequency and timing devices, thermal management solutions, piezo ceramic and resistor networks at at Electronica 2014 in Messe München, Germany this year. They can be found in Hall B5 Booth 355 from the 11 to 14 of November. Some products that they will be showcasing at the event are listed below:
EMC Filters
To protect the application against EMI/RFI interference with CTS ceramic technology, CTS has released seven new EMI/RFI design kits for sampling in military applications, industrial control processing equipment, telecommunications and T&M transport systems.
Switches & Controls
220 & 221 Series rotary DIP switches combine reliability and robust construction with competitive pricing. These switches feature BCD & Hexadecimal output, various switch positions (4, 10 and 16) and through-hole and gull wing terminal styles. The 220 (7x7mm) and 221 (10x10mm) Series are designed for drop-in replacement as well as new designs. The construction and materials allow for operation over a wide temperature range which makes these switches suitable for most applications including: circuit breakers, fire & security systems, HVAC systems, and industrial, communication, and video applications.
The 291 Series optical encoder provides precise control for Human Interface Solutions. Features: 12mm low profile package, 3 million life cycles, optional long life momentary switch, optional detents, 4, 6, 8, & 24 PPR in a 2-bit quadrature output, 5VDC or 3.3VDC options, sealed construction (IP67), standard PC terminals and wire harness options, and competitive pricing. The series is ideal for many applications which include, but are not limited to: medical equipment, laboratory equipment, communication, industrial, HVAC, transportation, security, and professional audio equipment.
RF Ceramic Filter
ClearPlex® Waveguide Duplexer delivers performance comparable to air-cavity with 2x to 4x smaller in size for cellular infrastructure, 6-10 GHz microwave, NLOS backhaul and military communications. CTS waveguide filters use patent-pending waveguide structures and proprietary high-quality ceramic formulations in duplexer and band pass filter configurations for 3GPP bands 1, 2, 4 and 7, with more bands in development. This technology can support input powers of up to 500 Watts peak and 50 Watts average. Key attributes offered by ClearPlex® Waveguide Duplexer include low insertion loss of 1 to 2 dB, frequency ranges from 1700 MHz to 10 GHz, sharp rejection points reaching up to -80 dB, and Passive Intermodulation (PIM) levels less than -110 dBm.
Piezo Ceramic
Superior quality piezoelectric compositions in high density and standard density materials and manufacturing capabilities of ultra-thin PZT wafer, a variety of PZT composites, photolithographic manufacturing, precision machining and metallization.
Frequency & Timing Devices
Model 149, a small size oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO), delivers performance that improves signal sources for telecommunications switching and wireless communication applications while offering great cost savings. The part is ultra- durable with stability as tight as ±50 ppb at -40°C to +85°C temperature range and low phase noise of -152 dBc/Hz offset 100 kHz from the carrier. The device offers frequency ranges from 10 to 25 MHz, 3.3V or 5.0V supply voltage options and at steady state, +25°C, it consumes less than 1 Watt of power. The product comes in a small 9x14 mm surface mount footprint for design engineers in need of more board space and HCMOS output logic. Model 149 is competitively priced at $45 each at 100-piece quantity.
Thermal Management Solutions
CTS new fansinks can maintain superior thermal dissipation for devices that emit high amount of heat. The fansinks are uniquely designed to absorb and disperse heat away from high temperature devices while offering key features such as operating temperature range of -10°C to 90°C, calculated MTTF @ 90°C: 86,858 hours (GEM, 90% confidence), and various package sizes to fit a wide range of applications.
A Heat Sink Selector Guide for Xilinx All-Programmable FPGAs 3D ICs and SoCs enables quick identification of an appropriate CTS heat sink based on Xilinx chip package, heat sink size and heat sink thermal characteristics. The CTS AER, APF, APR and BDN families of chip-mount heat sinks are featured.
