Bourns Inc., a leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic components for power, protection, and sensing solutions, has announced the release of the Model SSD Shunt Sensor - Digital Series. These Digital DC Current Sensors offer superior accuracy, stability and electrical isolation and provide high accuracy over a wide operating temperature range.
The SSD series includes innovatively designed digital DC shunt-based current sensors that offer superior accuracy, stability and electrical isolation over a wide -40 °C to +115 °C operating temperature range. The SSD series are small and highly integrated digital System-in-Package (SiP) devices which are well-suited for a wide variety of battery-related current sensing applications including large-scale energy storage banks, renewable energy generation infrastructure, industrial motor drives, building automation systems, and EV charging stations.
The SSD series features a 16-bit automotive-grade microcontroller unit (MCU) and delivers accuracy of ±0.1 % full scale. The internal 24-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) offers plug-and-play simplicity, helping to significantly streamline implementation so engineers can quickly add high-accuracy current measurement into their latest designs or retrofit it into existing ones. The digital shunt sensors are available in nominal currents of 100 A and 500 A with shunt resistances of 300 µΩ and 60 µΩ, respectively. The isolated design of the SSD series of digital DC current sensors allows it to be used on the low or high side of the circuit for maximum design flexibility.

The SSD series shunt-based sensors also help eliminate the need for periodic device calibrations, all while providing highly accurate measurements that contribute to more efficient use of power. The SSD series is available in two models: the RS-485 serial interface model, which can also be configured as MODBUS RTU, and a customizable CANbus model. The RS-485 model can achieve communication speeds of up to 921600 baud while the CANbus model can communicate up to 1 M baud rate.

As embedded systems continue to evolve, designers are increasingly challenged to deliver higher performance, stronger security, and longer battery life within increasingly compact products. Whether developing industrial sensors, smart building controls, healthcare devices, or connected IoT endpoints, selecting the right microcontroller is critical to achieving design goals. The latest STM32U3 microcontroller families from STMicroelectronics have been developed to address these challenges, combining modern processing capability with an energy-conscious architecture.
In today’s fast moving electronics world, robust circuit protection is essential for ensuring long-term reliability and safety. Taiwan Semiconductor’s latest snapback (Super Clamp) TVS technology incorporated into the LTD7S24CAH device marks a significant step forward in protecting sensitive circuits from transient voltage events.
STMicroelectronics have introduced the L6986I device, a high-performance synchronous buck converter that is designed for use in applications that require isolated power conversion.
HARTING has launched the new D-Sub PushPull housings. Designed to improve efficient and process-safe handling, the HARTING D-Sub PushPull transforms a well-known connector family into a simplified solution. The PushPull locking mechanism significantly improves the assembly process and reduces installation and maintenance time by up to 50%.
In the world of connected devices, one truth stands firm: even the smartest technology fails if it can’t survive the environment it’s built for. Rain, dust, vibration, UV—these forces don’t care how elegant your circuitry is. They’re relentless. That’s why CamdenBoss created Node & Hub: a new family of enclosures engineered not just to protect electronics, but to make every installation faster, cleaner, and smarter.
The EZPV Series from Panasonic delivers a highly versatile solution for DC Link and DC Filtering applications, offering a broad capacitance range and multiple operating voltage options.
The HIROSE BM54 series floating board‑to‑board connector is designed to absorb real‑world tolerances without sacrificing density.
