Comprehensive, Turn-key Integrated Measurement System (IMS) with Keysight SPA for On-wafer DC Parametric Measurements
Low thermal reed relays are designed to switch microvolt-level signals without introducing thermal offsets or signal distortion. Ideal for use in transducers, high-end multimeters, thermocouple switching, and data acquisition systems, these relays ensure accurate signal integrity in temperature measurement and logging applications. Their low offset voltage performance makes them a superior alternative to semiconductor relays in precision environments.
Threaded Housing Position Sensors offer a rugged and easily adjustable solution for detecting position, proximity, or motion in a wide range of applications. Available with reed switch or Hall effect technology, these sensors are housed in cylindrical threaded enclosures, typically plastic, stainless steel, or brass, for secure mounting and customizable sensing gaps. Their non-contact operation ensures long-term reliability and resistance to shock, vibration, and harsh environments. Ideal for use in automation, transportation, medical devices, and industrial machinery, these sensors support various output types and connection styles for seamless integration.
- The DF241 is characterized as a Small Low Angle Dark Field ring light.
- Precisely aimed LEDs provide a very low angle of incidence, radial illumination pattern.
- A scratch on a sheet of glass is a good example of a defect that can be detected with a low-angle dark field illuminator.
- With a light intensity of 24kLux at a working distance of ½” (12.5mm), the DF241 is perfect for imaging problems limited to a small field of view.
- A 25mm field of view is standard with an optional field of view of 35mm.
- Available in a range of wavelengths from UV to IR.
*Engineered to provide comparable optical characteristics to our previous RL1360.
