1500W & 3000W AC/DC supplies target factory automation
Expanding upon existing lines of AC/DC power supplies, Power Sources Unlimited has introduced the AE-1500 Series (1500W) and the AE-3000 Series (3000W) from Cotek Electronics. Available models include 12V, 15V, 24V, 30V, 36V, 48V and 60VDC output voltages. Key applications include factory automation, off-site test and measurement and communications equipment.
Adapter now includes micro USB output for tablet charging
The 10W ultra-thin PSA10F Series adapter, from Phihong USA, has been modified to include a DC cord terminated by a Micro-B USB connector. Designated the PSA10F-050, the power adapter has an output of 5V and 2A, which is ideal for charging lithium ion batteries in personal devices that feature large touch screens.
Current sensor offers MTTF of over 6,000 years
Following the publication of a test report into the reliability and longevity of the company's Sidewinder AC current sensing technology, Pulse Electronics has revealed that Sidewinder-based products achieve at least 99.7% reliability after 20 years of 24/7 service and have an estimated mean time to failure (MTTF) of 6,090 years with 90% confidence.
Conduction cooled modules suit HVDC bus applications
Suitable for high input voltages, TDK's PH-A280 series of DC-DC power modules are successors to the existing PH-S280 and PH-F280 series. The product series is half the size of its forerunners with 5% higher efficiency (up to 90%).
Three-phase film capacitors for PFC and AC filtering
Three-phase medium power film capacitors, the FLB series has been introduced by AVX. Operating over a temperature range from -40 to +80°C, typical applications for the series include Power Factor Correction (PFC) and output AC filtering in power converters, UPS systems, solar and wind inverters and motor drives.
AC/DC supplies deliver shock resistant performance
Sealed in a heat conducting potting material, the TER family of AC/DC power supplies has been expanded to include 500W and 600W models. The power supplies, from Schaefer Inc, feature an ultra-wide temperature range of –50ºC to 85ºC, making these units suited for projects that demand reliable and shock resistant performance in the harshest operating conditions.
DC/DC converter for battery powered applications
Featuring an integrated coil to simplify board layout and minimise any unwanted radiated noise, the XCL101 series step-up micro DC/DC converter has been announced by Torex Semiconductor. Able to start operation from input voltages as low as 0.9V, the XCL101 is suitable for use with single alkaline or nickel metal hydride cells.
Driver boasts 10mm clearance & external creepage distance
Designed for motor drives, alternative energy, welding equipment, and other high working voltage applications, the VOW3120-X017T is a IGBT and MOSFET driver from Vishay Intertechnology. The VOW3120-X017T features a minimum 10mm clearance and external creepage distance.
Dual IGBT Gate Driver is suited for driving SiC MOSFETs
A Dual IGBT Gate Driver, featuring two high current outputs, has been announced by IXYS. The IX2204 driver's high current outputs are capable of sourcing 2A and sinking 4A. Manufactured on IXYS ICD's advanced BCDMOS Silicon on Insulator (SOI) process, the IX2204 outputs have a wide operation voltage range of -10V to +26V.
Power supply suits 98% of CompactPCI Serial applications
Retaining the familiar form factor from CompactPCI (19", 3 U and 8 HP), the CompactPCI Serial PSU has been introduced by Schroff. Collaborating with major board manufacturers, system customers and PSU manufacturers, Pentair has created a 'quasi' standard for pluggable Schroff CompactPCI Serial PSUs and developed a first AC PSU with a wide input voltage range.
