- New Product – Mouser Now Offering Arduino Portenta Proto Kit VE for Industrial Automation, Environmental, and Machine Vision Applications
Mouser is now shipping the Portenta Proto Kit VE (Vision Environment) from Arduino. This kit accelerates the prototyping phase quickly, efficiently, and without conventional limitations, equipping users with advanced tools to tackle any challenge in predictive maintenance, environmental sensing, machine vision, logistics tracking and EV charging applications. The Arduino Portenta Proto Kit VE includes a full set of innovative Modulino nodes for reliable sensing and actuation capabilities with seamless Cloud connectivity through the Arduino Global Pro 4G Module and an Arduino Cloud for Business Voucher. These work together to support the processing of visual and environmental data for a wide range of applications, such as object recognition, people counting, air quality monitoring, and industrial automation. At the heart of the kit is the powerful Portenta H7, paired with the versatile Portenta Mid Carrier, supporting advanced processing and edge machine learning, ensuring prototypes are future-ready and functional. With tools for environmental sensing, machine vision, and motion detection, as well as cloud-enabled remote monitoring, this flexible and comprehensive kit leverages the Arduino IDE on the software side to develop quick, scalable, IoT-enabled prototypes.

- New Product – Mouser Now Shipping Molex’s AirBorn TriMate Rugged Circular Connectors for Reliable Aerospace and Defence Applications
Mouser is now stocking the TriMate® rugged circular connectors from AirBorn, a Molex company. The TriMate connectors are smaller, lighter, and easier to install than legacy MIL-DTL-38999 connectors while delivering equal or superior performance. These connectors are offered as a traditional 38999-style ratcheting threaded plug, a push-pull plug, and a break-away plug for applications that require quick de-mating. Each plug type mates with the same receptacle to reduce manufacturing complexity and simplify the bill of materials (BOM). Electrical connection integrity is vital to safe and successful flights and missions. These connectors feature MIL-C-39029 contacts and heavy gold plating (0.050 micro-inch) for electrical integrity in harsh, high-vibration environments. A solid-body pin and socket construction and anti-overstress socket hoods ensure complete reliability. The TriMate connectors are easy to overmold, providing an improved ergonomic industrial design, and accept standard MIL-DTL-38999 backshells and banding accessories. The connectors are waterproof to MIL-STD-810 and withstand temperatures from -65ºC to +175ºC. Designed for demanding aerospace and defence environments, the connectors are an ideal choice for radar systems, ground vehicles, training equipment, autonomous equipment, and robotic systems.
