OKAYA NOISE AND SURGE SUPPRESSION DEVICES

The Electronics Era has seen enormous increase in complexity of electronic systems while seeing sizeable decreases in size and power. Electronics are used in ways and locations that would have never seemed possible. This has necessitated greater attention being paid to Noise and Surge Suppression because systems today are more susceptible to both.

Charge Status Made Simple—and Secure

Where system life is long but battery cycle life is limited, the fuel gauge often lives on the battery pack side. But pack-side gauges often need time-consuming custom characterization. Not the new ModelGauge™ m5. This standalone pack-side gauge is the Industry’s first with SHA-256 authentication, and you can just design it in and go.

The ModelGauge m5 is perfect for low-volume runs or small teams without on-board experts, as well as big teams that want a fast track to blockbuster shipments. Get your most creative ideas to market, quickly and easily. Choose from four versions: one or multiple series cells, and a 1-Wire® or I2C interface. One is right for you.
