product CTS CORPORATION Elkhart, Indiana 46514  574-523-3800 October 10, 2014 FOR RELEASE: Immediately CTS to Showcase Innovative Products at Electronica 2014 Begin Your Experience at Hall B5 Booth 355 Elkhart, IN – October 10, 2014 – At Electronica 2014 in Messe München, Germany, CTS Corporation (NYSE: CTS), through its subsidiaries, CTS Tusonix and CTS Electronic Components, Inc. will be showcasing the latest innovations in electromagnetic (EMC) filters, switches and controls, RF filters, frequency and timing devices, thermal management solutions, piezo ceramic and resistor networks at Hall B5 Booth 355. Below is a sneak peek into some of the products that will be on display at the show: EMC Filters Protect your application against EMI/RFI interference with our ceramic technology. CTS released seven new EMI/RFI design kits for sampling in military applications, industrial control processing equipment, telecommunications and T&M transport systems. EMI/RFI Sample Kits: Solder Mount, Thread Bushing and Surface Mount Filters Switches & Controls 220 & 221 Series rotary DIP switches combine reliability and robust construction with competitive pricing. These switches feature BCD & Hexadecimal output, various switch positions (4, 10 and 16) and through-hole and gull wing terminal styles. The 220 (7x7mm) and 221 (10x10mm) Series are designed for drop-in replacement as well as new designs. The construction and materials allow for operation over a wide temperature range which makes these switches suitable for most applications including: circuit breakers, fire & security systems, HVAC communication, and video applications. systems, and industrial, Rotary DIP Switches: 220 & 221 Series 291 Series optical encoder provides precise control for Human Interface Solutions. Features: 12mm low profile package, 3 million life cycles, optional long life momentary switch, optional detents, 4, 6, 8, & 24 PPR in a 2-bit quadrature output, 5VDC or 3.3VDC options, sealed construction (IP67), standard PC terminals and wire harness options, and competitive pricing. The 291 series is ideal for many applications which include, but Optical Encoder: 291 Series are not limited to: medical equipment, laboratory equipment, communication, industrial, HVAC, transportation, security, and professional audio equipment. RF Ceramic Filter ClearPlex® Waveguide Duplexer delivers performance comparable to air-cavity with 2x to 4x smaller in size for cellular infrastructure, 6-10 GHz microwave, NLOS backhaul and military communications. CTS waveguide filters use patent-pending waveguide structures and proprietary high-quality ceramic formulations in duplexer and band pass filter configurations for 3GPP bands 1, 2, 4 and 7, with more bands in development. This technology can support input powers of up to 500 Watts peak and 50 Watts average. Key attributes offered by ClearPlex® Waveguide Duplexer include low insertion loss of 1 to 2 dB, ClearPlex® Waveguide Duplexer frequency ranges from 1700 MHz to 10 GHz, sharp rejection points reaching up to -80 dB, and Passive Intermodulation (PIM) levels less than -110 dBm. Piezo Ceramic Superior quality piezoelectric compositions in high density and standard density materials and manufacturing capabilities of ultra-thin PZT wafer, a variety of PZT composites, photolithographic manufacturing, precision machining and metallization. Frequency & Timing Devices Model 149, a small size oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO), delivers performance telecommunications that improves switching and signal wireless sources for communication applications while offering great cost savings. The part is ultradurable with stability as tight as ±50 ppb at -40°C to +85°C temperature range and low phase noise of -152 dBc/Hz offset 100 kHz from the carrier. OCXO: Model 149 The device offers frequency ranges from 10 to 25 MHz, 3.3V or 5.0V supply voltage options and at steady state, +25°C, it consumes less than 1 Watt of power. The product comes in a small 9x14 mm surface mount footprint for design engineers in need of more board space and HCMOS output logic. Model 149 is competitively priced at $45 each at 100-piece quantity. Thermal Management Solutions CTS new fansinks can maintain superior thermal dissipation for devices that emit high amount of heat. The fansinks are uniquely designed to absorb and disperse heat away from high temperature devices while offering key features such as operating temperature range of -10°C to 90°C, calculated MTTF @ 90°C: 86,858 hours (GEM, 90% confidence), and various package sizes to fit a wide range of applications. Fansink Series A Heat Sink Selector Guide for Xilinx All-Programmable FPGAs 3D ICs and SoCs enables quick identification of an appropriate CTS heat sink based on Xilinx chip package, heat sink size and heat sink thermal characteristics. The CTS AER, APF, APR and BDN families of chip-mount heat sinks are featured. “CTS products are trusted and utilized in everyday devices around the world. Our innovations have paved the way for tomorrow's applications,” says Vice President & General Manager of CTS Electronic Components, Mario Saucedo. “I look forward to introducing our latest electronic components at this year's Electronica 2014.” For more product information and specifications, please call +1-800-982-5737 (North America), +65-6481-1466 (Asia) or +1-508-435-6831 (All Other Regions) or email [email protected], or contact a supporting CTS Sales Representative or one of CTS many distribution partners.
