cornell dubilier electronics unveils new film capacitors approved for fail-safe operation

Earlier in July, Cornell Dubilier Electronics released their newest film capacitors for uninterrupted power supplies (UPS), AC power supplies, and general AC filtering applications, the 951C Round Axial Leaded and the 935B Radial Leaded Box Metalized Polypropylene Film Capacitors. The 951C has a cylindrical body with axial 18 AWG tin plated wire leads, and the 953B has a rugged radial box form with four 16 AWG wire leads. Sizes for both vary depending on value. Both capacitors show strong performance in filtering in applications where high-ripple currents are encountered and benign end-of-life failure mode is crucial.

These new capacitors have fused, segmented metallization patterns that provide significant circuit protection. The metallization pattern is deposited onto a high-grade, low-loss polypropylene dielectric. Because the capacitors are segmented, with the help of built-in fuse-links, capacitance loss is limited to a small segment in the capacitor, as opposed to the larger areas of capacitance loss in non-segmented capacitors. They are also UL 810 approved, assuring fail-safe operation under fault conditions.

The 951C series comes in values ranging from 0.825 μF to 40 μF while the 953B series ranges 2.5 µF to 50 µF. Both series have voltage ratings of 160, 250, and 275 VAC, offer -40 to +85? performance, and meet UL 94V-0 requirements for flammability. At 10,000-hour service-life expectancies without derating, the 951C and 953B series capacitors will succeed in providing reliable filtering and smoothing for all demanding applications in UPS systems, AC power supplies, and more. According to Cornell Dubilier Electronics, other highlights for the 951C and 953B series capacitors are fuse protection, low dissipation factors, and self-healing. They can also handle constant exposure to high-amplitude power line noise and large voltage spikes.

cambridge-electronic-industries-launches-bnc-connectors

Cambridge Electronic Industries, a well-known connector manufacturer specializing in coaxial connectors and cable assemblies in the broadcast and machine vision markets, recently launched a line of high-speed Micro BNC connectors. These connectors will be used for small cameras and instruments. The following higher resolution formats will also be implemented when higher density is required: 12G-SDI, 4K, High Dynamic Range, and Ultra High Definition.

The connectors are a third of the size standard BNC connectors. These connectors have been produced for the next generation of compact and lightweight broadcast cameras. Being sold under Coax vision’s brand name, this new line includes connectors with several different configurations. These can be connected to a cable or PCB mounted. Diagonal dual port connectors are available, increasing the packing density while still meeting the requirements for standard PCI card applications. The stacked dual port connector erases the need of PCB mezzanine configurations along with an interface that is changeable. This will then provide an alternative interface in one single board design.

Different mounting options are available for the new range of connectors such as right angle, top entry, edge mounting, and bulkhead with different leg and body lengths. This new line of Micro BNC connectors is also compatible with the HD BNC and Ultra Tiny BNC. The connectors mounted by cable are well suited with several different cables such as the Belden 1694A, 4694R, 4505R, and more.

polychlorinated-biphenyl-how-product-your-products

If you have spent a lot of money on a piece of equipment you want to make sure you are protecting it, in the right way. There are two options for protecting a Polychlorinated Biphenyl, referred to as Printed Circuit Board (PCB) from here on out, resins and coating. Each has advantages and disadvantages when it comes to protecting what’s important to you.

When looking at your pre-existing rig, see how concealed the PCB is inside of its housing. If the PCB is snug as a bug in a rug inside of its little home than you can get away with a simple spray of coating which will just be a back up in case the main housing unit doesn’t do its job to the best of its abilities.

If your housing is not the main source of protection for your PCB than a thicker, more durable resin should be applied to act as a superior protective layer.
When looking over the difference between coating and resin you should take into consideration their consistencies.

Coating, often thin and clear in color, can not be applied as thickly as resin can. The coating also tends to have a shorter drying time and a longer shelf life. Resin, on the other hand, can be applied in thick globs, which will weight the product down but provide an increased barrier against abrasion and dirt. Resin also cannot be applied via spray which makes the application process a bit longer and slightly more tedious.

Italian aircraft accident investigation authority ANSV has determined that for a takeoff from Verona, Italy, on September 1, 2009, 87 passengers flying onwards to Rome were not redistributed. 58 of these passengers had been in the rear cabin and another 25 in the center cabin, with just 4 in the front. The passengers were supposed to be redistributed with 29 seated in each cabin. Originally, the tail-strike accident was attributed to an imbalance due to luggage distribution, but upon further investigation, probable cause has been identified to be due to uneven passenger load.

Although the ramp agent told ANSV that he had submitted a load and trim sheet to the captain, the reorganization was not carried out, possibly due to a misunderstanding. The captain, however, still approved and signed the load sheet. ASV's full inquiry states that the pilots used the flex thrust setting for departure but, against normal procedures, did not apply forward side-stick pressure as the aircraft began to roll.

7 seconds into the take-off roll, the captain momentarily reduced thrust before abruptly raising it to the maximum. As the aircraft reached 60kt, it struck its tail on the runway, and further fluctuations, with lower intensity, showed the jet suffered repeated strikes, according to the inquiry.

The crew had decided to continue the flight—contrary to operating procedures which require an immediate return to the airport in case of tail-strike—and tried to proceed to Rome. However, the subsequent cabin pressurization warning prompted the crew to return to Verona. The pilots must have realized that the impact occurred during take-off, but the precise decision-making situation could not be clarified because the cockpit-voice recorder data for the initial part of the flight was unavailable. No one was seriously injured in the flight, but four of those in the rearmost row were treated for whiplash.

Many users have experienced the unfortunate event of having their SiC MOSFETs over heat due to high voltages and switching of the voltages. Many of the SiC MOSFETs have been worn down due to isolation barriers. Due to unfortunate events such as these the Electronic Company RECOM, they have created a new way to not only save the unit but increase its longevity when continuously switching the voltage. RECOM released a 2W DC/DC converter family that is specifically designed for the newest SiC MOSFETs editions. The RxxP21503D has become a key part for the SiC MOSFETs when turning the voltages on and off which is one of the SiCs most common characteristics.

The RxxP21503D has is able to meet the second-generation requirements by omitting voltages of +15 and -3V. One of the dangers that often occurs with the average DC/DC isolation voltage is the overheating of having to put in twice than the standard one. Not only does the unit have the possibility of overheating from over working but can experience over heating due to the increasing temperature of the environment the unit is placed.

Recoms newest releases is able to still fit into a standard “SIP7” case and is optimized with stand the worst conditions these types of units have to face. To be able to withstand the worst conditions the UNIT has been installed with a 6.4kVDC isolation voltage to ensure that the barriers are reinforced. The units come in different varieties to be able to with stand different types of assemblies.

“These converters are available with input voltages of 12, 15 or 24V and come equipped with ultra-low parasitic capacitance (less than 10pF). They are EN-60950-1 certified and fully compliant to RoHS2 and REACH.”

To be able to work alongside the RECOM unit it must be placed with quality components due to the high voltage usage. Due to RECOMs confidence in their product they offer a three-year warranty and have released samples to authorized distributors around the nation.

ASAP Semiconductor is a prime distributor of DC/DC Converters in the industry. Able to obtain these converters from OEMs such as RECOM .

Chip resistor maker TT Electronics has been able build a much larger and more potent metal foil chip resistor. This new innovative chip resistor will be equipped with a larger base and will take form of a newly configured a 2817 size. The size will allow for premium performance and will be able to release up to 3W in power. The increased size will allow for larger current to extracted and therefore suitable to other components with limited size such as leading medical and industrial applications.

The chip takes form as a silver rectangular object with “R010” printed in the middle. Having been coated with metal lining on either side of the shorter side of the rectangles.

The added enlargements of the resistors not only increase the DC/DC conversions and power supply. With the newly added innovations the resistor still manages to comply with the requirements that are required for actuators, lighting, HVAC systems and motors. As the market continues to grow and become a part of newer industries the requirements often change to different configurations. A prime example of a newly growing market that is growing and affecting the sales of the resistors would be for distributed power management and motion control faces pressure. These types of markets have created a new increasing pattern in purchasing components for power reduction all while maintaining accuracy.

"The MFC2817 addresses this need with values from 3-150m and a low TCR of 30ppm/oC compared to the 4m minimum value and 50-100ppm TCR specification of the nearest competitive part."

Along with the newly added characteristics the outer design Increases its optimal performance as much as the programming. The Metal Foil intertwined with ceramic body creates a leading resistor amongst its competitors. This type of configuration allows for the reduction of self-heating saving the user maintance time and costs.
