We’ve got the New nEw NEW for you right here:
NEW PRODUCTS THIS WEEK
You’ll need a good pair of tweezers when soldering delicate surface-mount (SMD/SMT) components. These are a great pair of everyday tweezers. They’re anti-static and anti-magnetic, with a sturdy stainless steel body and ESD plastic tips. The tips are flat to pick up components without risk of scratching or twisting, but because they are plastic, they’re not good for holding parts during hot air rework or if you’re going to get close with your soldering iron.
RJ-12 or RJ-11 Telephone Round Panel Mount Adapter Plug
If you need to add a panel-mount connection for telephone-interfacing projects but don’t have the time or ability to cut a custom oval or square hole, this RJ-12 or RJ-11 Telephone Round Panel Mount Plug is the easiest and fastest way to panel-ify your existing phone kit. It’s about 30mm in diameter so that you can drill a hole in your wood, plastic or metal with a common hole-saw or bit, no special shapes or filing required. Unscrew the plastic nut, insert the plug, and re-attach. Ta-da: Now you have a pass-through RJ-12 jack.
Adafruit S-35710 Low-Power Wake Up Timer Breakout – STEMMA QT / Qwiic
The Adafruit S-35710 Wake Up Timer is a low power ‘watchdog timer’ chip that can be programmed to alert with a digitally-configurable alarm from 1 second up to 194 days, thanks to a 24-bit second counter. It’s an interesting alternative to a real time clock or internal sleep timer and might be useful for some ultra-low-power projects that want to have a separate (and possibly separately-powered) chip to handle time-keeping and alarms. We covered this component on EYE ON NPI and thought it would make for a nice breakout in the shop.
Adafruit CH552 QT Py – 8051 Dev Board with STEMMA QT
What a cutie pie! Or is it… a QT Py? This diminutive dev board comes with a throwback processor – an 8-bit 8051! This tiny core is a big change from something like the the ESP32-S3 QT Py with two 240MHz 32-bit cores, but there’s lots of folks interested in the CH552 and given the smol size, it is a nice matchup for a smol board.
