PRODUCT OF THE MONTH
n UV-Enhanced Photodetectors
2022 Product of the Year
Finalist
A family of photodiodes for medical applications is available from Opto Diode Corp., Camarillo, CA.
The photodiodes operate from 190 to 400 nm and are available in two different configurations, circular
and square. The UVG100 is a large, square photodetector with an active area of 100 mm² and exhibits an
excellent UV response with 100 percent internal quantum efficiency. The UVG20C has a 20 mm² circular
active area in a TO-8 package and is ideal for electron detection between 190 nm and 400 nm, while the
UVG5S has 5 mm² circular active area and provides detection from 225 nm to 400 nm; the UVG 20S features a circular 24 mm² active
area with detection from 190 nm to 400 nm; the UVG12, with a 13 mm² circular active area and no cap (for maximum responsivity),
operates from 193 nm to 400 nm.

Product Focus: Mechanical Components
n Power Clamps
Destaco, Auburn Hills, MI, has released a series
of power clamps that feature a lightweight, enclosed
aluminum housing and optimized mechanics. The
82L-3E series is available in three versions with a
holding-torque range of 75-380 Nm and clamping
torques from 25 to 120 Nm at 5 bar. In the event of
a compressed-air outage during operation, the
clamp can be unlocked manually. Additional flexibility
is provided by an optional hand lever, which can be mounted on
the clamp's left or right side. The modular structure simplifies the procurement
of spare parts and reduces storage requirements.

n Counterbalance Hinge
A counterbalance hinge from Southco,
Concordville, PA, neutralizes the weight of
heavy panels and lids, providing reliable positioning
control for a variety of applications. CB Counterbalance
Hinges counteract the downward force of gravity
and provide precise control when opening and closing heavy panels,
enabling the panel to be lifted and lowered effortlessly. Their compact
design allows mounting inside enclosures. The corrosion-resistant construction
of the hinges withstands hot and cold environments. They
provide consistent performance without maintenance or readjustment.

n Fuse Clips
Keystone Electronics Corp., New Hyde Park,
NY, offers UL-recognized fuse clips with end
stops to ensure safety and design integrity.
Available for use with 1AG through 8AG size
cylindrical glass fuses, the low-profile, spacesaving
fuse clips can accommodate any product
design requiring UL components. Clips are suitable for applications
from 6 to 30 A in a variety of environments. The clips are manufactured
from brass with tin or nickel plate to ensure low contact resistance and
ease of use on PCBs. Designed to mount easily and retain a stable position
during wave soldering, the clips are available in snap-in and pressin
through-hole mounting configurations as well as rivet and surfacemounting
styles.

n Couplings
JW Winco, New Berlin, WI, offers
couplings that transmit rotary motions
and torques from shaft to shaft.
The couplings also even out tolerances
and mechanical deflection
that would otherwise result in damage
to drive or measurement configurations.
The recently added couplings of aluminum and stainless
steel include designs for positive and non-positive connections.
Multiple bore diameters and various stiffness and hardness levels of
the coupling body as well as an optional keyway allow for customization.
In general, all couplings compensate for offsets and misalignments,
accommodate runout error and axial motion, and
dampen vibrations and impacts to varying degrees.

n Solenoid Valve
Solenoid valves from The Lee Co.,
Westbrook, CT, offer high flow rates
and low power consumption in a miniature,
10-mm package. The genvi®
three-port valves are ideal for use in
molecular diagnostics, oxygen delivery, compression therapy, ventilators,
environmental analyzers, and breath analyzers. The valves
are designed to provide fast response time and long cycle life.

n Power Entry Module
Schurter, Santa Rosa, CA, has expanded
its power entry module series with a version
for snap-in mounting. The new EC12 variant
is designed to save panel space otherwise
consumed by a mounting flange. It also
provides quick and easy, well-secured installation.
The compact module with snap-in mounting has the same integrated
features as the flange mount version: IEC C20 appliance inlet,
high-performance single-stage filter, and power switch - with or
without illumination. Alternatively, it features snap arms designed to
ensure a tight fit as they mount to the panel simultaneously to ensure
a high-quality electrical contact to the panel, which optimizes the filtering
and shielding effect.
