Thermistors, thermocouples, and RTDs for thermal management
Thermal management is the ability to control the thermal environment of an electronic system. It is often associated with cooling heat-generating electronics, but it also encompasses generating heat in cold environments to maintain optimal system operation or power wax-based linear motors. As a result of the many uses for thermal management, a wide variety of […]
Hyperfast rectifiers get QPL certification for aero/defense apps
DLA Land and Maritime approved SSDI’s JANS1N8257US hyperfast rectifiers for QPL certification per MIL-PRF-19500/477. SSDI developed these 6 amp, 200 volts, 30 ns devices to provide higher performance than the 1N5811 within the smaller 1N5806 footprint. The JANS1N8257US provides significant improvements in output current, reverse voltage, peak surge current (125 A), thermal resistance (8.5°C/W), high-temperature […]
