Anglia expands range of LED lighting accessories by signing Carclo Optics

Anglia has announced that it has expanded the range of optics offered by its Anglia Lighting division by signing a UK and Ireland distribution agreement with optics manufacturer Carclo.

Carclo Optics manufactures a range of standard and custom optics products for use with LEDs and other solid state devices: these include high efficiency collimator lenses for use with LED lighting and laser diodes, display light-guides for LED matrices, and polyethylene PIR lenses.

“The goal of Anglia Lighting is to provide customers with the full range of products and services they need to put together a lighting system, and optics forms an integral part of this capability. Carclo offers a wide range of options that are an ideal complement for our solid state lighting portfolio,” commented John Bowman, Anglia’s Divisional Marketing Manager.

“Because optics are integral to the design of a lighting system, the choice of a distributor is very important to us,” added Ian Bryant, Business Development Manager of Carclo Optics. “Anglia’s specialist experience across the whole spectrum of solid state lighting design makes it an ideal distribution partner for us.”

New ordering guide focuses on rail-industry connectors

Franchised assembling distributor PEI-Genesis has brought out a new ordering guide for the CIR series of rail-industry connectors manufactured by ITT Interconnect Solutions (Cannon and VEAM).

Specifically designed for the hostile environment of rail and mass-transit applications, the versatile CIR series is available in an enormous range of styles, sizes and configurations.

PEI-Genesis holds stock at piece-part level and, within 48 hours of receiving an order, assembles the connectors to meet the customer’s exact requirements.

The new 28-page guide serves as a handy quick-reference tool for creating a part number, with connector variants listed by both shell size and number of contacts to make it easier for customers to specify the right connector for their application.

The guide also includes key technical specifications, line diagrams of the various shell styles, and a section detailing the comprehensive range of crimp contact assembly tools available for the CIR series connectors.

Mouser Electronics Now Stocking TriQuint-WJ’s New WJA Family Gain Block Amplifiers for Broadband Applications

Mouser Electronics, Inc., known for its rapid introduction of the newest products, today announced it is now stocking WJ Communication’s WJA1001 and WJA1021 – the latest additions to their +5V Active Bias General Purpose Gain Block amplifier series. WJ Communications, Inc, recently acquired by TriQuint Semiconductor, is a leading supplier of radio frequency (RF) products and solutions for the wireless infrastructure and radio frequency identification (RFID) reader markets.

The WJA high-performance broadband amplifiers provide an excellent mix of power gain, linearity, and supply current performance in a SOT-89 package, enabling designers to integrate with their designs. The devices are internally matched to 50 ohm and only require DC-blocking/bypass capacitors and a bias inductor for operation. The amplifiers utilize the high-reliability InGaP/GaAs HBT process technology and are suitable for current and next generation wireless applications such as GSM, PCS, CDMA, W-CDMA, WiBro and WiMax, Repeaters, BTS Transceivers, and RFID.

The WJA1001 has been optimized to offer industry-leading linearity performance and provides 19dB gain at 900MHz, a +20dBm 1-dB compression point, and +45dBm OIP3 at 900MHz, while drawing only 100mA of current from a 5V supply voltage.

The WJA1021 gain block amplifier offers +37.5dBm OIP3 at 1.9GHz and is ideal for high linearity applications in the 50 to 4000MHz frequency range. At 1.9GHz, the device typically provides 17.5dB gain, +37.5dBm OIP3, and19dBm P1dB, drawing only 90mA current from a 5V supply.

“Having the newest products on the shelf at Mouser allows our engineering customers to design with the latest technologies,” said Mike Scott, Mouser’s Vice President of Active Products. “RF system designers consistently need products with improved linearity and other electrical and physical characteristics like these gain blocks from TriQuint-WJ.”
