Products & Services
Thermocouple Wire
Thermocouple wire is used to make or extend thermocouples. The wire connects thermocouples from the sensing point to the point of cold junction compensation (CJC).
Thermocouple Temperature Probes
Thermocouple temperature probes are bimetallic probes that are used in various temperature-sensing applications. They consist of two wires, each of which is made of a different metallic element or alloy.
ISO Containers
ISO containers, also called intermodal containers, are designed to transport freight by ship, truck or rail.
Temperature Probes
Temperature probes are devices used to sense and measure temperature. Probe technology options include thermocouple, RTD, thermistor, and solid state types.
Varactor Diodes
Varactor diodes are p-n junction diodes that are designed to act as a voltage controlled capacitance when operated under reverse bias.

In Chapter 7 we studied some of the basic properties of operational amplifiers. There are an enormous number of ways that op amps can be applied to process analog signals. In this chapter we will...

In this chapter you will encounter some applications of positive feedback in op amp and comparator circuits. You will see how uncontrolled feedback can cause unwanted oscillation, and how controlled...

In this chapter we will explore semiconductor diodes and some circuits using them. We ve seen that resistors have a simple linear relationship between the voltage across them and the current through...
