CPI waterproof switches
Control Devices has added CPI
waterproof switches to their product line. CPI switches are designed
to cater to demanding Industrial and
Defence applications, where efficiency
and reliability of machine operation is
essential under severe environmental
conditions.
Based on the users’ set parameters,
the switches can qualify for an IP68 rating. They are protected with a thermoplastic or neoprene rubber cover, and
are fully submersible – splashproof,
waterproof and wash-down resistant.
They perform under exposure to
water, salt water, oil, sand, dirt, humidity, vibration, shock and temperature
extremes.
They also come in a selection of
styles ranging from a pendant, rocker,
plunger, limit and ball.
Momentary and maintained functions are available. For installation,
the switches can be mounted into a
bracket to fit into confined spaces or
a switch panel unit.

WBZ451 and PIC32CX-BZ2 early access development kit
Take your multi-protocol wireless
design to the next level with the PIC32CX-BZ2 family of wireless microcontrollers and WBZ451 modules.
They feature the low-energy Bluetooth 5.2 specification, industry-leading security and a proven Zigbee
stack. Based around an ARM Cortex-M4, the PIC32CX-BZ2 integrates
a high-performance 2.4GHz radio and
supports a wide temperature range in
a stand-alone package making it wellsuited for industrial applications such
as industrial lighting and remote factory/building control.
Home automation is at your fingertips with the PIC32CX-BZ2. It can be
used to turn on living room lights, lock
your front door and control your blinds
remotely. You can even use Bluetooth
to set up a Zigbee network and control
it from your smartphone. The applications for this exciting new solution
are endless.
Be one of the first to get early access
to Microchip’s development kit, user
guides and example demos. The
EA71C53A is an early access development kit for developers who want to
explore and develop applications with
Microchip’s upcoming Bluetooth 5.2
and Zigbee wireless solution. The kit
is available now for US$88.

Bosch BMP390 pressure sensor now available at Mouser
Mouser Electronics is now stocking the BMP390 barometric pressure
sensor from Bosch. The BMP390 is
an ultra-small, low-power and lownoise 24-bit barometric pressure sensor with vertical (z-axis) capabilities
that enable accurate indoor localisation with smartphones in case of
emergencies.
The Bosch BMP390 barometric
pressure sensor offers a pressure
range of 300hPa to 1250hPa at 0°C to
65°C with typical relative accuracy
of ±0.03hPa. The sensor features low

power consumption of 3.2µA at 1Hz
and a small 2 × 2 × 0.75mm form factor,
making it ideal for a wide range of lowpower, altitude-tracking applications
in smartphone and wearable devices.
For development, Mouser also
stocks the BMP390 Shuttle Board and
the Application Board 3.0. Designed
to be used together, the Application
Board and Shuttle Board enable access
to the BMP390 sensor’s pins to build
prototypes.
The minuscule, single-package
BMP390 solution enhances design
Australia's electronics magazine
flexibility to allow easy integration,
including Internet of Things (IoT)
devices, smartphones, GPS modules,
wearables, hearables and drones.
