Cosel has launched a fanless three-phase three-wire 3.5kW ac-dc power supply, aimed at world-wide operation from star or delta networks. Called HCA3500TF, the input range is 180 to 528Vac (for nominal 200V and 400V grids), and efficiency is up to 94% (400Vac in, 65V out) – the company puts the latter down to its digitally-controlled switching topology, and internal silicon ...

Colombia is a country with an ever-growing entrepreneurship – and innovation-oriented culture; something that’s clearly showcased by the 310 thousand new businesses created in 2022, out of which 309 thousand were microbusinesses. Their leading attribute is their human capital: professionals across the country’s regions who are highly qualified in all Industries 4.0 sectors and who are at clients’ complete disposal ...

Autronic has created an 80W dc-dc power supply for on-board railway use, which produces 12V (adjustable) from supplies between 14.4 and 154V, covering “all international on-board voltages from 24V to 110V in a single device”, it said. Dubbed HFBC80-W/Ks, output voltage is adjustable, and devices can be connected in parallel for more current. Efficiency can reach 92%. The units measure ...

Kyocera AVX has added four and five position options to its 5.6mm tall 9176-700 series of insulation displacement wire-to-PCB connectors. The connectors are soldered to the PCB in a tall state then, to terminate, insulated wires are inserted and the top of the connector is permanently pushed down to its final height. All four or five wires have to be ...

Cortec’s EcoEmitter is a stick-on capsule designed to protect un-ventilated enclosed electronic and optical equipment from corrosion. Each pod is intended to protect 0.25m3 (8.8feet3). “Vapour phase corrosion inhibitors emit and saturate the enclosure via diffusion, filling all void spaces and recessed areas with protective vapour molecules,” according to the company. “These molecules are attracted to and adsorb onto metallic ...

Stackpole’s RNCU 1206 thin film chip resistors can handle up to 1W and offer tolerances down to 0.1% and temperature coefficients down to 10ppm/°C. The AEC compliant parts have “excellent electrical and environmental stability, showing minimal resistance shifts over most industry standard tests and are anti-sulphur per ASTM-B-809-95 with shifts less than 1%”, according to the company. They are also ...

Power Integrations is aiming at industrial and automotive power supplies up to 100W, by building 900V GaN transistors into its InnoSwitch3 fly-back switcher family – something it announced at APEC in Florida. Previously 750V was the highest rating amongst the GaN members of this family. There are two product lines now with 900V gallium nitride options: The AEC-Q100-qualified InnoSwitch3-AQ family ...

OnLogic launched Intel Alder Lake 12th genertion x86 fanless industrial PCs at Embedded World in Nuremberg today. Called Helix 401, it is the smallest of the company’s Helix Series of passively-cooled, fan-less industrial computers. “Helix 401 balances size and performance while providing a range of configuration possibilities to help users tailor it to their specific application,” said company product manager ...

Embedded computing specialist TQ has introduced computer-on-modules and other embedded boards with processors from Intel, NXP and Texas Instruments today at Embedded World. There are two NXP i.MX93 based modules, a single board compute and an evaluation board. The TQMa93xxLA LGA module and TQMa93xxCA plug-in module are intended to be an upgrade for i.MX-6UL designs – the i.MX-93 processors have two ...

At Embedded World today, Microchip announced six secure authentication devices that meet Common Criteria Joint Interpretation Library (JIL) secure key storage, and support algorithms that comply with the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). They are intended to be companion devices, compatible with any microprocessor or microcontroller. “This portfolio lowers the barrier to entry and enables developers of products for new ...
