DIN Rail industrial computer series brings more flexibility
Extending its KBox portfolio, Kontron has introduced a family of DIN Rail industrial computers with high-performance Intel processors. The new KBox A-15x family is available with various performance class CPUs, depending on control task complexity and the performance required. The cost-optimised Box PCs are designed particularly compact for flexible deployment on DIN Rail. Its broad range of interfaces allows high interoperability, scalability as...
Compact DC UPS systems offer SuperCaps as energy storage
An economical solution for the uninterrupted power supply of DC loads, such as motors, sensors, actuators or card readers, has been announced by Bicker Elektronik. The two DC UPS modules UPSIC-1205 (12VDC/5A) and UPSIC-2403 (24VDC/3A) are equipped with ultracapacitors (so-called SuperCaps) as energy storage which operate according to the principle of double-layer capacitors (EDLC).
DC/DC step down power module shrinks board space by up to 58%
Two new 4-36-V power modules that measure just 3.0x3.8mm and require only two external components for operation have been introduced by Texas Instruments.
Fortronic Power announces topologies and themes for 2018
Fortronic Power, the Italian power electronics event will run from 27 to 28 June 2018, in Modena, Italy. This is year, it celebrates its 15 th anniversary.
Surface mounting battery contacts minimise height and profile
Memory Protection Devices has expanded its selection of available AAAA battery contacts. Newly released is AAAA battery contact part number BK-6223-TR. It is designed to be surface mounted on a PCB and to meet the application demands of portable equipment. It is a phosphor bronze contact, is ultra-light weight and features improved strength characteristics.
High linearity demodulator supports 1GHz bandwidth
Analog Devices has announced the LTC5594, a wideband, high linearity true Zero-IF (ZIF) demodulator with 1GHz instantaneous I and Q 1dB bandwidth. The demodulator is capable of 37dB image rejection typical. Using the on-chip serial port, the device allows correction of the I and Q phase and amplitude imbalance, hence can be tuned to achieve an image rejection of better than 60dB.
Ultra low noise DC/DC converter in compact SIP-8 package
TRACO POWER has announced the release of its TVN 3 family of 3W low noise DC/DC converters in a compact SIP-8 package measuring only 0.86x0.38x0.44”. Maximum output ripple of 15mV pk-pk or down to 10mV pk-pk with a 10µF capacitor make these suitable for pro-audio, test equipment and applications that are noise sensitive.
Industry is wasting potential 44TWh each year according to whitepaper
A whitepaper proposing that a lack of efficiency in industrial power drive systems means there is currently 44TWh/a of energy savings that could be made across the sector has been released by REO UK. The company has demonstrated the results in its own laboratory tests outlined in the paper and suggests that better harmonic mitigation and a change in the rules is required.
A materials-based approach to reinventing the inductor
Inductors are everywhere, from your cell phone and laptop to your radio, television, and car. A basic building block of today’s technology, they are also a crucial component for realising the potential of the IoT, which promises to connect people to some 50 billion objects, by 2020, with an projected economic impact ranging from $2.7-$6.2 trillion annually by 2025.
Power signal system features up to 60A blade profile
Samtec has released a higher density signal count and new AC power option available with the EXTreme Ten60Power system. TSamtec's EXTreme Ten60Power header and socket system (ET60T/ET60S Series) is available in both power/signal combinations and power only for increased design flexibility.
