Development Tools &

Evaluation Boards: Engineers look to create new products – prove a concept or make enhancements to existing products due to legislative requirements or to maintain a competitive edge. Time to market is a key consideration.

Solution:

RS have over 2300 low cost development and evaluation tools from our key manufacturers - supporting a variety of products including microcontrollers, power management and programmable logic - that will enable engineers to prove a concept or emulate an end application. Helping to speed up development

Board:Once an engineer has developed his idea beyond the concept stage he will need to lay out a PCB Printed Circuit Board, Defi ne the components that he wants to use and produce a Bill of Materials (BOM). He will then either pass to purchasing or source a small number of components himself to build a prototype.

Solution:

Free powerful tools, resources and access to a community of fellow engineers help reduce design cycles. A stocked range of the most popular devices and the latest technologies from leading brands enables engineers maintain a competitive edge.

Box:Satisfi ed that PCB offers the functionality and expected performance the engineer will then look at the enclosure or housing that the PCB will sit in he will also need to look at Indicators , displays fans, switches, Connectors , Cables DIN rails & terminal blocks.

Solution:

Many standard, Modular & bespoke solutions of all shapes sizes in various materials are available plus, a wide range of guides brackets & fastener solutions giving a professional fi nish.

Bench:Engineers require bench power supplies, waveform generators, multimeters, oscilloscopes as well as soldering station accessories & crimp tools in order to test that the board operates in line with design specifi cation.

Solution:

State of the art, in-house UKAS accredited calibration laboratory provides Standard (RS), or UKAS accredited (BS EN ISO 9001:2008 & ISO/IEC 17025:2005) calibration on many instruments. Cables and wires, Static Protection, and storage.

ElectronicsElectronics – Development, Board, Box and Bench encompasses a diverse range of technical activities devoted to the application of electronics and electrical sciences for the enhancement of industrial and manufacturing processes. Types of end customer application include but are not limited to Motor Control, Lighting, Industrial control, Metering, Security, Welding equipment or Power supplies. Each customer will have an Electronics Design Engineer or a team of Electronics Design Engineer’s working on the creation of hardware and software solutions.

Each will be looking at:

• How to Design, create and improve electronic and electrical equipment

• Designing existing products better/faster/cheaper than before

• Solving problems

• Innovation
