4 Key Steps to Properly Manage EOL (End of Life) Parts – Free Report

admin2 — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:10:43 +0000

End of Life (EOL) issues are something that every Original Equipment Manufacturer Engineer, Buyer, Purchasing and Materials Manager, and Supply Manager have to deal with on a weekly basis. Although parts going End of Life is unavoidable, because everything comes to an end, there are proactive and strategic steps that can be taken to better manage the EOL situation. Better managing the EOL circumstance means less time invested or wasted dealing with an EOL problem, avoidance of costly line down situations, or avoiding getting caught without warranty coverage.

This white paper report outlines 4 Key Steps identified through the learning and data collected from other Original Equipment Manufacturers to properly and strategically manage and navigate through End of Life part circumstances.

Free White Paper Report: DEE has written a Free White Paper Report based on data collected from many OEMs on the 4 key aspects of managing EOL situations. If you would like a free copy of this report, just send an email to MyFeedback@DEE-inc.com with “EOL Solutions Report” in the subject line, and provide your contact information.

Low Power Vibration Sensor

admin2 — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 20:12:32 +0000

The micro vibration sensor is used for the detection of slight movements and vibrations by means of a mobile micro sphere. The ball bridges two contacts reducing the resistance between the two external connection pads from several mega ohms (> 30 MOhm) to below 100 Ohms. The sensor is fully passive, requires no signal conditioning, and operates with currents a low as 0.2 μA. The micro vibration sensor is utilized for converting many systems to environmentally-friendly devices by implementing wake-up and powerdown logic to conserve battery power and bringing energy consumption to a minimum, pushing the availability of green technology and green electronics into new areas of design and application. Features include: halogen free, wide supply voltage range of 1.80 V to 15 V, low operating current (e.g. lcc max. 0.2μA at Vcc 2V and R 10Meg) (e.g. lcc max. 2.0μA at Vcc 2V and R 1Meg), noiseless, protected from environmental stress, specified from -40 oC to +80 oC, size 2.85mm × 2.45mm × 1.7mm. For samples or more information, please send an email to MyFeedback@dee-inc.com, and be sure to include your contact information.

How to Avoid Wire/Cable Failures in Your Application

admin2 — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 20:14:25 +0000

In today’s world of sophisticated electronics, cable failure is not an option. There is no acceptable level of downtime and no one can afford to replace expensive machinery years before its predicted lifespan. Many of the problems that surround cable failure, especially in extreme and harsh operating environments, could have been avoided by selecting the correct cable from the outset. “But specifying cable is easy,” you say. Well, yes and no. Sure, it’s easy to match temperature ranges and then count on a PVC jacket for protection. But there’s a lot more to it than that. Understanding how the cable will work when exposed to harsh conditions as well as environmental factors are details that engineers need to consider before “fully” specifying an appropriate “hazard-matched” cable. DEE offers a FREE Report that concisely steps through each consideration that should be reviewed when specifying your application’s cable.

Key Secrets to Implementing a Reusable Container/Packaging Program That Adds $0 Cost AND Works Within Your Existing Replenishment System

admin2 — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 19:59:14 +0000

Many Manufacturers are seeking to implement reusable packaging and container systems with suppliers to cut down or eliminate packaging waste. The problem is that there are a number of obstacles that either bog down that effort, or severely limit the ability to economically implement it. DEE has a lot of experience in successfully implementing reusable container programs, and has created a White Paper Report on “Key Secrets to Implementing Reusable Packaging/Container Programs”. This report is fairly short and easy to read, but identifies some key secrets to implementing a reusable program that could add $0.00 cost to you as a manufacturer, and does not have to change your current replenishment scheme.

How to Select a Temperature Sensor

admin2 — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 21:40:49 +0000

There are many variables to consider when selecting the right temperature sensor for your application, but there is a wide variety of temperature sensors out there from which to choose a product too. There is no single answer that is right for everyone. Which solution is best suited for your application? DEE offers a Free whitepaper report that identifies the 3 Most Important Criteria for selecting the best temperature sensor for your application. As a sneak preview of the report, the first of the 3 criteria is “Data Requirements”. But within each of these criteria, there are a number of areas to be aware of.

This is an excellent report which covers the data requirements criteria, including temperature and accuracy criteria, as well as economic considerations and application factors that should be considered when selecting the right Temperature Sensor. The report goes into detail regarding what aspects you should be considering within the critical sub-criteria for each of these 3 key areas, and how to properly select your temperature sensor. Using these three key criteria will dramatically improve your efficiency and effectiveness in selecting the right temperature sensor for your application.

“They ask what we need and what they can assist with and follow through accordingly”

admin2 — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 20:14:20 +0000

I would say Dee Electronics’ most valuable trait is the fact that they are customer focused. They do not try to “sell” us parts or services, they ask what we need and what they can assist with and follow through accordingly. They work hard to provide the best customer service possible and don’t let us down. I can say as an engineer, working with DEE I appreciate the fast response on new project ideas and their ability to provide several different options. They offer cost savings ideas, reducing lead time and supplier issues and that is what separates them from the rest.”
