Whether applied in aircraft or employed for industrial applications, temperature management systems and the components that comprise them are integral for many regulatory functions. Often found in the form of a resistance temperature detector (RTD) or thermocouple (TC), both temperature sensor types are broadly versatile, but come with their own set of advantages and disadvantages when implemented within various applications. To get a better understanding on how thermocouples and resistance temperature sensors work based on industry demand, we will go over their common functions and differences that set them apart.
Radio frequency amplifiers, or RF amplifiers, are components that are capable of boosting low-power radio-frequency signals. Such devices may be beneficial for a number of applications, often serving to drive a high power source, drive a transmitting antenna, or to excite microwave cavity resonators. With many devices relying on such components, an equal number of types have come about with varying characteristics and designs. To help you make the best decision for your particular needs, we will provide a short overview of a few of the most common RF amplifiers that accommodate transceivers, transmitters, antennas, and more.
A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy from one electric circuit to another without changing the frequency. It does this through the principles of electromagnetic induction, with the energy transfer generally taking place with the change of voltage and current. Transformers are able to either increase or decrease AC voltage and are used to meet a wide range of needs. They can vary greatly in size, some transformers being small enough to hold in your hand and others being several stories high. Regardless of their shape or size, their function remains the same: to transform electrical power from one type to another. This blog will analyze how transformers work and their many different types.
LED lights are immensely beneficial in the interior cabin of an aircraft. But people often underestimate just how helpful they have been. How do LED lights help? For one, they are the best products to provide efficient illumination, which in turn improves the aesthetics of you interior cabin and can also improve confidence from your passengers and other observers. However there are certainly many more advantages to having LED lights as opposed to the older modes of lighting. For more information, read the article below.
Electric motors have a critical role in nearly all industries. Using the right motor in conjunction with high-quality parts and regular servicing ensures your machines will run smoothly and prevents equipment damage related to power surges. Electric motors are machines that convert electrical energy, whether from stored power or a direct electrical connection, into mechanical energy through the production of rotational force. There are two types of electric motors: AC motors, which are powered by alternating current, and DC motors, which are powered by direct current. This blog will explain the ins and outs of electric motors and their function.
If you are assembling an LED installation, performing support systems on existing apparatuses, or buying LED lights, you might need a constant-voltage power supply or a steady constant-current LED for appropriate LED operations. There are various aspects that ought to be reviewed while selecting a power supply or a driver or power source gracefully. The article below should assist you with picking the correct power hotspot for your necessities.
Oftentimes, the accelerometer of aircraft may be confused with the operations of tilt sensors. Some even assume that an accelerometer can be used in place of a tilt sensor. This confusion between the two instruments is due to some overlapping functionality that each device provides. Nevertheless, accelerometers and tilt sensors are different components that each provide their own capabilities, and understanding these differences is important for correct utilization. In this article, we will discuss the differences between an accelerator and tilt sensor, and the operational functionality of each.
MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors) and BJT (bipolar junction transistors) are two very effective power switching applications in electronics with unique qualities. Despite this, no electrical component is perfect, and both MOSFET and BJT have significant limitations. For instance, MOSFET is inefficient in blocking high reverse voltages and has very high on-state power dissipation and voltage drop. BJT needs large base currents to operate, is inefficient for fast-switching applications, and is at risk due to secondary breakdown. This is where the IGBT comes into play.
The metal-oxide-semiconductor-field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is a field-effect transistor which is often created by the controlled oxidation of silicon. A MOSFET is a semiconductor device which is most commonly used in power electronics. A semiconductor is composed of a material that doesn’t act as an insulator or a conductor and both of these properties can be controlled. A transistor is a bipolar device that is created by combining a positive and a negative material. It has three terminals: the collector, the emitter, and the base. MOSFETs are bipolar, but metal oxide insulators are added to enhance performance. The terminals in a MOSFET are called the source, the drain, and the gate. “Field effect” describes the method that is used to control the current flowing through the device. In a MOSFET, as the temperature increases, its ability to conduct current decreases. It creates a natural balance because if one device begins to create more current, it will heat up and cause the current to decrease and both devices will level out.
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.
