AC-DC convection cooled sealed power supplies handle 400 W
Bel Power Solutions announces the ABS400/MBS400 Series of convection cooled power supplies which are sealed and fully potted, offer IP66/67 ingress protection, and fit 1U applications. These power supplies may be mounted for conduction or convection cooling and are rated at 300 W in still air and 400 W with conduction via the optional heat […]
MCUs feature cap-touch sensing, low power consumption for HMI-based IoT apps
Renesas Electronics Corporation announced the expansion of its 32-bit RA2 Series microcontrollers (MCUs) with 20 new RA2L1 Group MCUs, increasing the RA Family to 66 MCUs. The general-purpose RA2L1 MCUs use the Arm Cortex-M23 core operating up to 48 MHz. The RA2L1 MCUs are supported by the easy-to-use Flexible Software Package (FSP) and Renesas’ partner ecosystem, […]
Low-profile 400-W supplies target industrial, medical apps
Bel Power Solutions announced the ABC401 / MBC401 Series of 400 W AC-DC power supplies in five different low-profile 1U packages, including open frame, enclosed, U-channel, perforated cover, and vented cover configurations. The ABC401 Series (industrial) and MBC401 Series (medical) are rated high efficiency (94% typical) and available in a variety of single output voltages. […]
How can sensors ensure safety for extreme temperature requirements?
The medical device industry requires extreme high temperatures in autoclaves to disinfect reusable devices and tools. As we have been reminded of recently with announcement of COVID-19 antibiotics, medicines as well as bio-samples require low temperatures for preservation in storage and transportation. Both of these extremes require sensors to monitor and maintain the proper temperature […]
SMD Metal-Foil-on-Ceramic resistors boast high surge tolerance, low self-heating
TT Electronics announced the introduction of its Metal Foil Chip (MFC) resistors. The MFC series uses metal foil on ceramic technology, which combines the heat spreading properties of a ceramic substrate with the surge tolerance of a bulk metal alloy resistance element. This, in turn, offers lower self-heating levels than thick-film or metal strip resistors and better surge tolerance than thick-film options, making these resistors particularly well-suited for automotive, industrial, and medical […]
