published specifications, each unit undergoes stringent
testing across its full batch lot. A Quality Conformance
Inspection report accompanies each shipment, detailing
all test data collected during Environmental Test
Laboratory studies. The report offers design engineers a
reliable set of data for the anticipation of actual resistor
performance within an intended installation environment.
Data includes screen/test flowper EEE- INST-002 (Tables
2A and 3A, Film/Foil, Level 1), MIL-PRF-55342 and MIL-
PRF-49465, among other parameters. For customer
convenience, prototype quantities of the Model 303337
resistor are also available with expedited deliveries.
Please contact for details.
The Model 303337 ultra-high precision surface mount
resistor may be specified within demanding and
mission-critical military, aerospace, defense and space
applications, including those where a precision resistor
is required to quickly reach thermal equilibrium, within
circuits that either require fast response times, or which
are characterized by rapid current changes. Within the
military, aerospace, defense and space industries, typical
applications include commercial and military avionics,
switching linear power supplies, power amplifiers,
power management systems, feedback circuits,
measurement instrumentation and associated automatic
test equipment. Other applications include switching and
linear power supplies, precision high current-sensing,
power management systems, feedback circuits, power
amplifiers, and precision electronic scales. To learn

Maxim’s Dual Channel Transceiver
Adopted by Omron for IO-Link Sensor
Applications
Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:MXIM)
announced that its MAX14827A dual IO-Link®
transceiver has been adopted by Omron Corporation.
The high-performing device from Maxim, which utilizes
IO-Link sensors to reduce maintenance and increase
uptime, provides continuous diagnostics and monitoring
at Omron’s customers’ production sites. It dissipates >
50% less heat than other solutions and is the smallest
solution available.
IO-Link, a standardized IO technology which has
rapidly been adopted in Europe, is now tracking on
the same growth curve in the Japan market. It has
recently been attracting attention as a technology
to realize smart factory applications by seamlessly
connecting facilities with various plant sensors through
digital communications. Recognizing the importance
of IO-Link, Maxim has developed a variety of products
using IO-Link technology, including products like the
MAX14827A IO-Link dual-channel transceiver in new
Industry 4.0 applications.
Omron is expanding its IO-Link sensor series primarily
in photoelectric and proximity sensors. Equipped with an
individual identification confirmation feature and unique
ability to detect abnormalities and monitor situations,
Omron’s IO-Link sensors deliver solutions that shorten
downtime, lower frequency of sudden failures, and
increase efficiency in changing arrangements. This
enables smarter production facilities by collecting critical
data for stable facility operations, with PLCs and other
superior controllers, via EtherCAT through a master unit.
IO-Link Overview
IO-Link is the first standardized IO technology worldwide
(IEC 61131-9) for communication with sensors and
actuators. The powerful point-to-point communication
is based on the long established 3-wire sensor and
actuator connection using existing cables.
