New Fast Acting Subminiature Fuse from Littelfuse Protects Against Overcurrent Conditions
Littelfuse has released the 808 Series TE5 Fast Acting Subminiature Fuse. This 250VAC/450VDC-rated fuse is designed to protect components or internal circuits against overcurrent conditions, particularly in high voltage DC applications, such as DC power supplies. Its high interrupt rating/breaking capacity (up to 10kA@450VDC) ensures it will open safely under high fault currents.
SMP Develop Low-Noise, Energy-Efficient Chokes For MRI Scanners
SMP Sintermetalle Prometheus has developed chokes for use in Magnetic Resonance Imaging. These inductive components are exceptionally quiet in operation as well as being low-loss and energy-efficient. This has been achieved with magnetostriction-free materials that have been developed specially for use in medical equipment.
