What’s a protective relay and what does it protect?
A protection relay is a smart device that receives inputs like current, voltage, resistance, temperature, or even light, compares them to set points, and provides outputs such as visual feedback in the form of indicator lights and/or an alphanumeric display, communications, control warnings, alarms, and turning the power off and on. They are used for […]
Low-acoustic-noise 1U-high modular power supply delivers up to 800 W with BF-ready medical isolation

Thermal gap filler incorporates carbon fibers to boost conductivity, maintain flexibility
Sarcon CF210A is the newest Fujipoly thermal gap filler and incorporates carbon fibers along with traditional fillers found in thermal gap filler materials. The carbon fibers allow for higher thermal conductivity (21 W/m•K) while remaining compliant. Sarcon CF210A’s compliance is closer to a much lower conductivity gap filler such as Sarcon PG25A. While the thermal […]
650 V GaN HEMTs now offered with 80mΩ RDS(on)
Innoscience Technology announced a new low RDS(on) 650V E-mode GaN HEMT devices. INN650D080BS power transistors have an on-resistance of 80mΩ (60mΩ typical) in a standard 8×8 DFN package, enabling higher power applications, for example in totem pole LLC architectures or fast battery chargers. Thanks to Innoscience’s innovative strain enhancement layer, InnoGaN devices feature low specific RDS(ON) as […]
Co-polymer resin meets strict requirements for 1.6Kv solar systems
SABIC launched a breakthrough polycarbonate (PC)-based copolymer resin, well-suited for photovoltaic (PV) connector bodies, that meets stricter performance and regulatory requirements for emerging 1.5Kv solar systems. The new LNP EXL9334P copolymer resin achieves the highest comparative tracking index (CTI) level (UL PLC0) and IEC as Material Group 1 (IEC MG 1). It also delivers low-temperature […]
