Power consumption is a crucial factor for the Internet of Things (IoT) applications, as it relies on a battery, which has a limited capacity and short service life, to carry out the device’s operations. IoT devices are often deployed in places that are physically difficult to reach making it difficult and expensive to replace them when […]
Bourns has upgraded its line of humidity sensors with the new Model BPS240 series that meets advanced sensor needs with fast response time, high accuracy/sensitivity in a small footprint. Based on Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, the new devices in the series offers upgraded features compared to BPS230 humidity sensors released previously by the company. The Model BPS240 series humidity
