Step-down regulator operates in noisy environments
Able to operate in factory automation, industrial robotics, communication infrastructure and avionics systems, the LTM4653 is a 58Vin step-down µModule regulator from Analog Devices.
Inductor delivers up to 250A continuous current rating
A Very High-Current Through-Hole Inductor - the Vishay Dale IHXL-2000VZ-5A – is available from New Yorker Electronics. The Vishay IHXL technology combines the metal composite construction of a pressed metal powder with an insulating binder which allows for high saturation magnetisation and high field strength – so it handles high transient current spikes without saturation.
Gate drivers enhance robustness in harsh environments
Power Integrations has introduced factory conformal coating for its SCALE IGBT and MOSFET drivers. Conformal coating enhances system reliability by protecting electronic components against contaminants such as pollution, dust and condensation, which may cause corrosion. Power Integrations’ factory-coated gate drivers reduce inventory cost, lead time and overall cost of ownership by eliminating the need for manufacturers to se...
DC power supply features output voltages up to 500kVDC
The OQ open stack family are sophisticated 8kW power supplies from Glassman with extremely low ripple and noise. They are air insulated fast response units with tight regulation.
Batteries help cut greenhouse gases dramatically
Internationally renowned paint manufacturer, Crown Paints has cut its greenhouse gas emissions significantly since installing forklift trucks benefiting from batteries and chargers supplied by Hoppecke Industrial Batteries.
DIN-rail PoE injectors provide an integrated premium power supply
PULS Power has announced the availability of two new high quality 8-port Power over Ethernet (PoE) power injectors available with either an integrated premium power supply or as stand-alone device.
Compact slim stepper motor has high motor power and torque
JVL Industri Elektronik A/S has introduced a new compact and slim stepper motor. The new ServoStep integrated stepper motor series MIS171 to MIS176 have a NEMA 17 42x42mm flange and include controller with 6 different industrial Ethernet protocols, absolute multiturn encoder, closed loop and M12 connectors. This new motor family is based on the latest microprocessor and cooling technology and an advancement compared to previous designs.
Switching regulators now available as open-frame option
PEAK electronics, a supplier of DC/DC converters, AC/DC converters, switching regulators, and LED drivers, has added to its portfolio and now also offers its proven switching regulators as open frame versions. The new PSR-78xxC(-OF) series switching regulators have an output current of 500mA and the slightly larger PSR1-78xxC(-OF) versions have an output current of 1000mA.
Honey, I shrunk the battery!
In 2011, Chinese engineers claimed to have made the world’s first shrinking device. While it may sound like it came from a film, the device only creates the illusion of a smaller object, rather than actually shrinking it. Illusions aside, it is clear that devices in the electronics sector are continuing to get smaller. J.D. DiGiacomandrea, Applications Engineering Manager at Ultralife looks at how thin cell batteries are revolutionising a n...
Ultra-soft IGBT freewheeling diodes offer low losses
Infineon Technologies Bipolar GmbH & Co. KG has launched a diode family designed for modern IGBT applications: Infineon Prime Soft. This diode features an improved turn-off capability which now rates at 5kA/µs. Prime Soft builds on the IGCT freewheeling diode family which is based on a monolithic silicon design. Typical applications for the diodes are HVDC/FACTs and medium voltage drives using voltage source converters. These applicatio...
