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.

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

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,

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.”
