Power inductors handle automotive temperatures, stresses
The HCMA Series of high current power inductors are now available from TTI in Europe. The products are designed to withstand temperature and shock stresses found in automotive applications to support greater reliability in electronics for Advanced Drive Assistance Systems (ADAS), vehicle control, body control, lighting, infotainment, cluster controls, heating and air conditioning, chassis and safety systems.
Medical and ITE approved power supplies added to ‘plug&go’ range
Adding to its ‘plug & go’ range, a range of medical and ITE plug-top power supplies have been announced by Stadium Stontronics. The products meet the latest no-load power and average efficiency requirements for both Level VI and CoC Ver 5 tier 2. The range consists of 6, 18 and 24W with 5, 9 and 12VDC output models available as standard with other custom voltages between 4.2-52VDC available on request.
High-precision simulation models shorten development time
Würth Elektronik eiSos and Modelithics are presenting the results of their cooperation project: with immediate effect, Microwave Global Models products are available for three product families of SMT high-frequency inductors.
UL listed switching regulator supports thermal shutdown
A switching regulator has been released by Aimtec, the AMSRI-78-NZ series, which is pinout compatible with LM78xx linear regulators (SIP3). Efficient at up to 93%, the AMSRI-78-NZ series features an input range of up to 36VDC and produces output currents up to 500mA. Power is available up to 7.5W.
Compact DC/DC converters carry UL certification
Two series have been added to Aimtec's 20 and 30W DC/DC converter line. The AM20EW-NZ and AM30EW-NZ series offer an input of 4:1 (9-36, 18-75 and 40-160VDC input ranges) and are housed in a 2x1" metal and plastic package. The products have an input to output isolation of 1,500 and 3,000VDC and continuous short circuit protection.
Common mode chokes enable streamlined electronic designs
With increasing power densities needing to be supported in modern electronics hardware, ensuring adequate EMI suppression is of greater importance than ever. As well as being fully operationally effective, common mode chokes must also exhibit compact form factors in order to address increasingly acute space constraints.
Definite purpose medium-voltage drive introduced by Danfoss
Enhancing its current portfolio of low- and high-power AC drives, Danfoss has introduced the VACON 3000 drive to offer a robust, reliable easy-to-integrate solution for medium-voltage applications. The VACON 3000 drive is a modular drive solution for medium-voltage applications, which are prevalent in industries such as mobile equipment in mining, marine, oil and gas, energy and metals.
µModule regulator has 3D stacked-inductor packaging
Linear Technology introduces the LTM4636, a 40A step-down µModule switching regulator with 3D construction for quicker heat dissipation and cooler operation in a small package. By stacking its inductor on top of a 16mm x 16mm BGA package, the LTM4636 benefits from the exposed inductor as a heat sink, permitting direct contact with airflow from any direction to cool the device.
Power adapters fit US, UK, Europe, Australia plug formats
Availability of 18W and 24W power adapters with interchangeable input pins for US, UK, European and Australian plug formats is announced by Luso Electronics. They can be used with telecom equipment, computers, industrial controllers and office automation (OA) systems. Also available with Chinese and Korean inlet plug tops, the RoHS-compliant wall-mounted plug adapters made by Taiwan’s Adapter Technology in a range of voltages between 5V to ...
Medical grade MLCCs enable OEMs to change controls
A series of Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) for medical applications has been released by AVX Corporation. Designed for use in medical devices that require significantly less parametric flexibility than commercial capacitors offer, but stop short of demanding the stringent features of fully qualified medical capacitors.
