New corner wall-mount-box adapter bracket
Bud Industries has introduced an adapter bracket that allows users to convert a standard electronic enclosure into a corner-mount enclosure. This approach gives users more size options compared to competitors who offer a limited number of corner-shaped enclosures. Applications include Wi-Fi, security, lighting, and factory automation. Typically, companies standardize on one style of enclosure. Before […]
Bud Industries’ 19-inch rack cuts shipping costs
Bud Industries has introduced a 19-inch rack that saves money by shipping knockdown at only 18 pounds yet holds up to 300 pounds. Unlike other racks, it is designed to be easily assembled in fewer than 15 minutes. Applications include any equipment that requires a 19-inch rack, including servers, communications equipment, switches, and controls. Easy […]
Measuring a sense-resistor’s voltage drop, Part 2: Isolation
Measuring the voltage drop across a current-sense resistor can be a trivial issue or a challenging one depending on the rail voltage and other factors. The problem with low-side sensing is that it “ungrounds” the load, and the alternative is high-side sensing. This part looks at the use of isolation to deal with CMV […]
PSMA Semiconductor Committee expands offering to four APEC 2020 Industry Sessions
The Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) Semiconductor Committee is sponsoring a total of four Industry Sessions at APEC 2020 that address the rapid emergence of wide bandgap semiconductors as a significant power conversion technology. The sessions will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, March 17-19, 2020, in the New Orleans Convention Center. The series […]
Barcodes and Scanners, Part 1: How they work
Barcodes: you can’t escape them, and all along the supply chain from raw source to end-user purchase, we can’t function without them. They are pre-printed on neatly everything we buy or use, they can be added later as stick-on labels, or they can be printed on demand as needed for custom projects. Barcodes are now […]
