The Model 22 trimmer is a RoHS-compliant, 3-mm single turn potentiometer with extended resistance range. The sealed surface mount, cermet trimming potentiometer is available in J-hook and side-mount designs.
According to Barbara Wiesinger, director of product development for BI Technologies Electronic Components Division, “The 3-mm size is ideal for designers who are trying to maximize use of space on a printed circuit board. The price of the potentiometers has also been reduced, making them competitive for a wide range of applications.”
The device features resistance range from 10 to 2MW; a standard resistance tolerance to ±20% and absolute TCR values to ±100ppm/°C; and power ratings to 0.125W at 70°C. Operating temperature range is -55° to +125°C, and the devices are RoHS compliant.
Feature a 12-mm tape width and 4-mm sprocket pitch, available in tape and reel packaging.

Low-profile stainless steel AS-Interface Gateways for connection to Profibus DP are available in single or double AS-Interface network versions, suited for networking safety inputs (e-stops, door interlocks and light curtains) using AS-Interface Safety at Work. The modular Profibus slaves are designed in accordance with AS-Interface specification 2.11 in IP20 and stand 3.25” tall with the connector attached.
Feature a rugged stainless steel housing for long life and reliable operation in harsh environments; duplicate address detection to guard against incorrectly configured nodes; and a four-line graphical display for easy configuration and troubleshooting. RS232 port can be used in parallel with a running Profibus/AS-Interface network to display additional information. Ground fault detection allows the gateway to continuously monitor the integrity of the network and report undesirable ground faults to the PC or PLC.
DeviceNet Gateways are the core of the wiring system, and connect AS-Interface to upper level controllers. They handle the complete data transfer, cyclically polling all participants connected to the wiring system. The gateway can be placed anywhere in the AS-Interface segment. The single channel version can handle 248 inputs and 186 outputs over 62 addressable I/O modules. The dual channel gateway offers 496 inputs and 372 outputs.

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, a developer of analytical instrumentation, announces a complete range of analytical instruments to assist manufacturers in attaining RoHS and WEEE directive regulatory compliance. The company also provides equipment for ongoing compliance with End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) regulations.
The regulatory measures can have a profound impact on the operations of effected organizations. Within this environment, and responding to feedback from its customer base, Shimadzu collected and centralized details and specifications for instruments manufacturers to ensure compliance.
EDX Series systems (Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometers) from Kratos Analytical, a subsidiary of Shimadzu Corporation (kratos.com), presents a powerful general analysis instrument range for compliance assessment, enabling simple, rapid screening of various substances regulated under WEEE, RoHS and ELV directives at parts-per-million levels without pretreatment.
A selection of instruments tailored to specific substances is available to deliver more precise investigation or to verify results.
Organizations seeking high-precision quantitative applications in the analysis of metals can use the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AA-6300). Simply dissolve the sample to perform high-sensitivity measurements of both ferrous and non-ferrous toxic metals. Measures not only the precise levels of toxic metals added intentionally, but also toxic metals contained within substances as impurities.
For the selective analysis of hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), the UVMini-1240 spectrophotometer allows quantitation after extraction from a sample at the pretreatment stage. This method of diphenylcarbazide absorption photometry allows precise amounts of Cr6+ to be identified.
IRPrestige-21 Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer and GCMS-QP2010 are available for companies dealing with brominated flame retardants. IRPrestige-21, when equipped with a single-reflection type ATR attachment and a brominated flame retardant determination macro program, can determine the presence of these toxic substances within seconds. The Gas Chromatograph / Mass Spectrometer can be used for analysis of raw materials using thermal decomposition analysis to determine amounts of brominated flame retardants in plastics.
