Thermal array sensor provides accurate people detection in intelligent lighting controls

The Grid-EYE® thermal sensor from Panasonic has an 8 x 8 grid which generates a 64-pixel thermal image. With people tracking and counting algorithms, the sensor enables lighting controls to dim or turn-on LEDs automatically.

New polymer capacitors provide long lifetime and low ESR

Panasonic has added to the SP-Cap family of conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitors, extending the designer’s choice of reliable devices that can withstand high temperature and high humidity.

Polarized power relays perform energy-efficient switching operations

Panasonic supplies multiple series of polarized power relays to meet the needs of many applications. These relays offer substantially lower power consumption than other types of electromechanical relay, with low self-heating.
