Magnetic Switches / Magnetic Sensors
BERNSTEIN offers electromechanical reed contact magnetic switches and electronic versions which operate according to the Hall and magnetoresistive principle.The electronic versions are characterised by their enhanced mechanical properties (extremely high resistance to vibration, shock or impact) and are not prone to wear in operation. Thanks to the use of only one single “active” component (reed contact), “traditional” electromechanical magnetic switches are extremely reliable in operation. The universal current capability and low procurement costs allow these switches to be used in a wide range of applications.

PXI 18 Channel Data Comms MUX, 96-pin SCSI
40-735-902
The 40-735 data communications multiplexer is designed for switching the data lines of serial interfaces (RS232, USB). Careful attention to the design of the module ensures that the switching system minimizes its impact on the transmission distance of USB1.1 interfaces. The MUX is available in 36:1 or 18:1 formats and enables a single source of serial data to be switched to one of 36 or 18 devices under test. This allows the data source to load information to, or receive information from, the device under test. The 36:1 version can be software configured into two independent 18 way MUXs enabling two separate sources of serial data to be connected to separate banks of 18 devices. The module is ideal for performing bulk testing of any device that relies on a serial data communications port to load software or control the device operation. It can also be used for a variety of other applications where ever a 2-pole low power MUX is required.

Proximity
Proximity detection sensors measure reflected infrared (IR) energy to detect the presence of an object or person. The devices include an integrated LED driver and, in some devices, an integrated LED. The proximity detection devices provide four programmable LED drive currents and IR pulse repetitions. The proximity detection circuitry compensates for ambient light, allowing it to operate in environments ranging from bright sunlight to dark rooms. The wide dynamic range allows operation in short-distance detection applications behind dark glass, such as mobile phones. Proximity detection sensors can be used to replace a mechanical switch or to sense human gestures.
