High airflow or higher static pressure? The right cooling fan depends on how air must move through your design.

Ultrasonic sensors use high-frequency sound and echo timing to detect objects and calculate distance. By measuring the round-trip travel time of a sound pulse, these devices can determine how far away a target is without physical contact.

Why are RJ45 connectors used in everything from routers to gaming consoles?

In this video, we break down how relays work, explore the differences between signal and power relays, and explain when to use latching vs non-latching designs.

Tactile switches are one of the most widely used input devices in electronic designs, but small differences in force, travel, sound, and construction can significantly impact performance and user experience.

This video discusses Same Sky’s pogo pins, with a focus on their high-reliability, gold-plated contacts, and versatile mounting options. These spring-loaded connectors are meant for a range of applications from testing to interconnect systems.

In this video, we break down the basics of buzzers—covering everything from magnetic vs. piezoelectric designs to indicators vs. transducers, and even demonstrate real-world buzzer sounds.

Circular connectors and circular cables have become a versatile interconnect option in a range of applications due to their ability to transfer both power and data.

Same Sky’s CPS series sirens provide a reliable, high-volume alarm solution for industrial and safety applications.

Same Sky’s Illuminated Buzzers offer a loud and bright multi-sensory alert system without redesigning enclosures or PCBs. These industrial-grade buzzers range from 83 to 100 dB and feature built-in LEDs for enhanced visibility.

Same Sky’s Rotary DIP switches offer an intuitive, self-documenting alternative to traditional DIP switches and jumpers for configuration settings.
