Three-phase DIN rail ac-dc supplies sport +20% peak rating, low inrush current
TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the TDK-Lambda brand three-phase DRB120 and DRB240 DIN rail mount AC-DC power supplies. The models are rated at 120W and 240W with a two-second peak power capability of 144W and 288W, allowing for operation with inductive and capacitive loads. On initial start-up, the products have a low energy inrush […]
High-current-rated MOSFETs target EV apps
Diodes Incorporated has introduced a portfolio of automotive MOSFETs packaged in the space-saving, thermally-efficient TOLL (PowerDI1012-8) package. Capable of operating to 175°C, the 100V-rated DMTH10H1M7STLWQ, and DMTH10H2M5STLWQ, plus the 80V-rated DMTH8001STLWQ MOSFETs occupy 20% less PCB area than the TO263. These devices feature an off-board profile of just 2.4mm. This makes them ideal for use in high-reliability power […]
