Single-pole contact power relays suit switching currents of 10A
The power relays in Zettler's AZ940 series, now available at Schukat, have a single-pole contact and are designed for switching current of 10A. The electrical life expectancy of these high-performance PCB relays is 105 operating cycles, while the operating temperature range is between -40 and +85°C.
Fast ionic conductor for all-solid-state lithium battery
Rechargeable all-solid-state lithium batteries are expected to be one of the next-gen energy storage devices because of their high energy density, safety, and excellent cycle stability. The materials used for the solid electrolyte must not only have a high lithium-ion conductivity above 1 mS/cm at room temperature, but also possess chemical stability. Oxide-based solid electrolyte materials have several advantages over sulfide-based ones, such as...

Germany - but not how you think
When you think of Germany, what do you think of? Most people will usually say football, beer and BMWs. What most people won't say is medical technology (medtech). Despite that, Germany’s medtech sector is by far the largest in Europe and the third largest in the world. It’s home to some of the largest OEMs and presents a wide range of opportunities for technology experts.
IEC appliance outlet provides status indication
SCHURTER’s 6610 series appliance outlet according to IEC 60320-2-2, Style F, is now available with an integrated light pipe.
