  • New Product – Mouser Now Stocking the Silicon Labs Pro Kit for Amazon Sidewalk, Helping to Expand Cloud Connectivity for IoT Apps

Mouser is now stocking the Pro Kit for Amazon Sidewalk from Silicon Labs. Designed as a complete end-to-end Amazon Sidewalk Development Platform solution, this Pro Kit provides all the necessary tools and resources for developing high-volume scalable IoT applications using Bluetooth® and Sub-GHz wireless protocols. This Pro Kit simplifies the development process and reduces costs enabling users to focus their resources more on innovation and less on testing and integration as they develop applications for the Amazon Sidewalk network. This pro kit comes pre-programmed with Amazon Sidewalk firmware and Amazon Web Services (AWS) pre-registration, instantly and securely connecting users in a few minutes. This product comes equipped with a KG100S-RB4332A radio board and a 915 MHz antenna that provides a complete reference design to support Bluetooth, FSK, and CSS protocols. An xG24-RB4187C radio board and BRD8042A FSK/CSS adapter board are also included for users looking to develop a more discrete design. The Pro Kit’s mainboard contains an onboard SEGGER J-Link debugger with a Packet Trace Interface (PTI) and a Virtual COM port, enabling application development and debugging of the attached radio board and external hardware through a 20-pin (2.54 mm) expansion header. Other kit features include advanced energy monitoring, a low power 128×128 pixel Memory TFT LCD, user LEDs/pushbuttons, breakout pads for Wireless SoC I/O and support for CR2032 coin cell batteries.

  • New Product – Mouser Now Stocking TE Connectivity/Laird 5G Phantom No Ground Plane Required Antennas for IoT Applications

Mouser is now shipping the 5G Phantom no ground plane required antennas from TE Connectivity / Laird External Antennas. These antennas provide engineers with a versatile global cellular antenna option for IoT, freight and transportation environments, as well as public safety applications. These 5G Phantom no ground plane required antennas cover either the 617 MHz to 7125 MHz or 698 MHz to 7125 MHz frequency bands without needing a fixed ground plane, even for regions where lower 600 MHz bands are required. These products offer global cellular coverage in a tamper-resistant, direct-mount, threaded stud with superior quality and integrated N-female connector, for tamper-resistant installation. The antennas direct coaxial connection provides consistent performance, even at higher frequencies, avoiding performance losses of other mounting methods. Minimum gain ripple around horizon and uniform azimuth patterns reduces the chance of signal dropouts, while offering consistency and minimal shifting gain. The 5G Phantom series delivers high levels of efficiency, over 95% up to 4200 MHz, and gain up to 8.0-dBi. These rugged antennas also feature a tamper-resistant and highly durable IP67-rated enclosure and UL 94 flammability rating, making them ideal for harsh environments.

  • New Product – Mouser Now Shipping Vishay Semiconductors AEC-Q101 Qualified DFN Rectifiers for Industrial Applications

Mouser is now stocking the AEC-Q101 Qualified DFN rectifiers from Vishay Semiconductors. These rectifiers are housed in a low-profile DFN3820A package with a 0.88 mm typical height and low forward voltage drop. The rectifiers cover a 1 A to 5 A forward current range with 200 V, 400 V, or 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage options. The oxide planar chip technology of the AEC-Q101 Qualified DFN rectifiers services a wide operating temperature range (-55C to +175C) and offers an automatic optical inspection (AOI) capable package with wettable flanks. These AEC-Q101 Qualified DFN rectifiers meet the stringent standards required for ultra-fast VS-xEAH02HM3 components like ABS braking systems, dual voltage injection drivers, high-frequency inverters and clamping and snubber applications. The rectifiers are lead-free, halogen-free, and RoHS compliant. These DFN-packaged components provide engineers with an ideal solution for power line polarity and rail-to-rail protection in consumer, industrial, and automotive applications.
