World’s Largest Electronics Fair HKTDC Hong Kong (Autumn Edition)

Electronic Manufacturers, Suppliers and Retailers Get Ready for World’s Largest Electronics Fair - World’s largest electronics industry event, Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) and concurrent electronicAsia present valuable business opportunities for electronic manufacturers and suppliers.

Innovative electronic products will be showcased in the world’s largest electronics fair this October between 13-16, when HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) provides the springboard to global markets for electronic manufacturers and suppliers. It’ll help present the best sourcing hub to find export quality electronic products from China and Asia Manufacturers.

In its 31st edition, the fair expects a record-breaking 3,000-plus exhibitors from around the world. In addition, more than 600 electronics components, solar and display technology companies will be present at the concurrent electronicAsia. These two fairs will maximize electronic trade opportunities for all electronic manufacturers and suppliers.

“The Autumn Edition strives to contribute to the continued growth of the electronics industry. The new “Invention Zone” will help inject new ideas into the industry by showcasing the innovated work from Hong Kong, Chinese mainland and Taiwan. Many of the inventions are patent-registered or patent-pending, and endorsed by industry bodies,” said Benjamin Chau, Deputy Executive Director, HKTDC.

“A lineup of 'smart' consumer electronics such as tablet PCs, smartphones and related products will be seen in another new zone – “Mobile Device and Accessories” and a dedicated display area in concourse as well. Meanwhile, two other display zones - “Green Electronics Square” and “Silver Market and Healthcare Electronics” will return to address the popular market demand.”

USB-Configured Thermocouple to Protect from Surges

New Head-Mount Thermocouple Transmitter Provides High-Voltage Isolation to Prevent Damage and Errors - Acromag adds an enhanced version of their USB-configured thermocouple/millivolt input transmitters with an isolation barrier to protect from surges, reduce noise, and eliminate ground loop errors.

The latest release in Acromag’s new ST130 series of low-cost, temperature transmitters is the Model ST133, an isolated thermocouple/millivolt signal conditioner. This high-performance version of the economy-level ST132 also converts sensor input signals from eight thermocouple types or a ±100mV range and outputs a proportional 4-20mA process control signal. However, the addition of 1500V isolation between the input and output circuit shields equipment from high-voltage surges and transient signals. The isolation also breaks up ground loops and reduces signal noise that could interfere with measurement accuracy. Installing this output loop-powered two-wire transmitter is easy and a USB connection to your PC simplifies set up using free Windows configuration software. Units support mounting in DIN Form B sensor heads or on a DIN rail. They are CE compliant with pending UL/cUL Class 1 Div 2 Zone 2 approvals and operate reliably over a -40 to 80°C operating range. Pricing for these low-maintenance, high accuracy instruments starts at just $109.
