an increased frequency response of 3.5 to
2 kHz.
This sensor outputs a signal that is
proportional to the overall velocity or acceleration
of machinery, making it ideal
for continuous vibration monitoring in
process control or predictive maintenance
applications. Model 655A91 features a
compact stainless steel housing, perfect
for restricted height applications, and a
simple 4-20 mA output for total compatibility
with PLC, DCS or SCADA systems,
reducing the need for sophisticated vibration
analysis.

Low Noise Amplifier
Mini-Circuits' new AVA-0233LN+ is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC
low noise amplifier with a wide operating frequency range
from 2 to 30 GHz. This model achieves typical noise figure of
2.4 dB with characteristic performance <2 dB up to 18 GHz. A
unique Vc pin (-1.2 to +2.4VDC) provides gain control from
roughly +16 dB to -14 dB, facilitating compensation for performance
variations due to temperature and other signal
path conditions. Mini-Circuits claims it outperforms similar
products on the market
for a fraction of the price,
making it an excellent candidate
for applications
from defense systems and
Satcom to test instrumentation
and more.
Key Features:
◗ Ultra-wideband, 2 to 30 GHz
◗ NF <2 dB up to 18 GHz
◗ 16.3 dB gain with ±1.0 dB flatness (@Vc = 0V)
◗ +25 dBm OIP3
◗ 5x5mm 32-lead QFN

New 4.2-Mpx BSI High-speed Image
Sensor
Vision Research introduces its Phantom T4040 high-speed
camera. Vision Research claims it surpasses the frame rate capabilities
of other high-resolution, high-speed cameras and
features an updated platform that is 50 percent lighter than the
closest equivalent model. The T4040 camera features a groundbreaking
back side illuminated (BSI) 2560x1664 sensor that
maximizes light sensitivity with a peak quantum efficiency
over 90%. Thanks to its 4-megapixel (Mpx) sensor, the T4040
June 2023
has advantages over cameras
with traditional 1-Mpx
sensors and can capture
fine detail and movement
over larger areas.
The T4040 is ideal for
applications like:
◗ Material impact tests.
The T4040 improves
the accuracy required
for tracking elements
and debris after the collision.
◗ Explosives research, including particle trajectories.
Thanks to its extreme dynamic range (EDR) feature, the
camera also captures key data contained in the bright
flash.
◗ Particle imaging, including time-resolved particle image
velocimetry (PIV). The T4040's high resolution improves
data accuracy when processed into a 3D model.
◗ Small objects. The T4040's 9.27-micron pixel size is ideal
for subjects requiring high magnification. Specific areas
of study include insect wing behavior and computer
microchip development.
Key Specifications of the Phantom T4040
◗ 4.2-Mpx BSI sensor (2560x1664)
◗ Throughput: 39.8 Gpx/s image capture
◗ Max frame rate at full resolution: 9,350 fps
◗ Max frame rate at reduced resolution: 444,400 fps
◗ Standard and binning modes
◗ Up to 256 GB of memory
◗ 10 Gb Ethernet standard
◗ Compatible with CineMag 5 (up to 8 TB)
◗ Compact and lightweight at 9.4 lbs. (4.3 kg)

Terminal Blocks Provide Flexible Wire
Termination Option
IDEC Corporation has announced
the new BTBH-H
easy-stack product line of
surface mount terminal
blocks in a compact form
factor with multiple amp
ratings. These terminal
blocks can be easily stacked together or ordered preassembled
to meet the needs of any commercial or industrial application.
BTBH-H blocks are available in four different amp ratings-10
A, 15 A, 30 A, and 50 A-and can be ordered as
individual components, or as complete assemblies by amp rating
for 2 to 30 poles. The terminal blocks are assembled in a
twist- and snap-together fashion, without the need for special
