High side switches support decentralised vehicle power
Now available from Rutronik UK, Infineon's Power PROFET protected high-side switches support the trend towards decentralised, intelligent and cost effective vehicle power distribution architectures. Power PROFET is a benchmark family of ultra-low ohmic protected high-side switches (1.0-2.5mΩ) with integrated protection functions and diagnostics for automotive and 12V industrial markets.
Wet tantalum capacitors withstand stringent environmental constraints
Exxelia has received the qualification by the DSCC as an approved provider of WT84 wet tantalum capacitors under the drawing DSCC 93026. Exxelia’s range of wet tantalum capacitors WT84 is now fully qualified to DSCC 93026 drawing for voltages from 25V up to 125V. Available in all case sizes (T1, T2, T3, T4) the family is housed in a hermetically sealed tantalum case and is designed to withstand the most stringent environmental constrai...
Digital power system enables conversion efficiency monitoring
Analog Devices has announced a 2-channel power system manager, the Power by Linear LTC2972 features current, power and energy monitoring of the intermediate bus input to Point-of-Load (PoL) converters. Monitoring circuit board power and energy use is a prerequisite for managing, optimising and reducing their consumption in order to lower server rack and data centre cooling and utility costs.
Compact cartridge fuses save space on crowded boards
Littelfuse has introduced the smallest cartridge fuse series available that’s rated at 500VAC with current ratings from 40-63A and a 2,000A at 500VAC interrupting rating. The 606 Series high current Cartridge Fuse is designed for overcurrent protection in applications such as high voltage power supply circuits rated up to 23kW. With a 10x32mm cartridge body, a single 606 fuse requires less board space than previous designs that used mu...
Compact power supply provides IEC protections
Offering 2xMoPP (Means of Patient Protection) protection grade, BF medical appliance compatibility, low earth and touch/patient leakage current requirements and IEC 60601-1-2 4th edition and EMC immunity standards, the new MDP 200 adds a 200W unit to the Efore range which now covers from 200W to 1,200W.
New partnership delivers mission critical power solutions
Solid State Supplies has announced that it has been appointed as the sole and exclusive representative/distributor in the UK & Eire for high reliability power modules and other products from VPT.
DC/DC converters with 14W designed for railway applications
The DC/DC converters of the series PMGS/PCMGS14 from MTM Power have been designed for transport and railway applications where low-ranged power is needed. The devices operate at a nominal input voltage of 72VDC or 110VDC and supply an output voltage of 24VDC (12VDC and 48VDC on request) with a high efficiency of more than 90%.
Fanless embedded PC provides wide range voltage capability
The MES-4190 from Midas Touch is the energy-efficient fanless embedded PC suited for extreme applications with its extended temperature and wide range voltage capability. The ultra-slimed box PC utilises an onboard Intel Celeron quad core processor J1900 to boast both performance and ultra-low power consumption.
Rail power supply features conformal coating to protect against dust
