Today’s industrial control engineers and installers need to save space in the cabinet and reduce installation time. They need connection technology that is smaller, faster, safer and error-free, all at a lower cost. As manufacturers look for new ways to reduce costs, this trend even applies to industrial relays....

Heat Sinks are required to insure the proper operation and long term reliability of Solid State Relays because they provide a means to dissipate the power that is normally developed by the SSR into the surrounding ambient air and maintain a safe operating temperature.
This paper discusses “Why Heat Sinks...

A Heat Sink’s thermal rating can be effectively improved by increasing air flow over its exposed surface area.
Closed extrusion profiles or so called “chimney” designs can arguably improve convection air flow verses “open” profiles by virtue of increased convection air velocity...

The design of AC/DC power supplies is inevitably evolutionary, rather than revolutionary. It develops largely as a result of gradual improvements in semiconductors and passive component technologies and materials. Invariably, power supply design objectives involve not only meeting basic input and output specifications...

This paper presents an investigation into the usage of modeling techniques to predict and improve the shielding effectiveness of rectangular, metallic Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) EMI cages.
These cages house bi-directional SFP+ transceiver modules that can operate at data rates up to 11.1 Gbps. The simulation...

The intense vibration, moisture and generally harsh environments present in offroad and transportation applications demand components capable of withstanding such conditions. Connectors, in particular, must not merely tolerate these conditions, but they must also conform to DIN and other design/application specification...

Little doubt exists about contemporary battery power and its diverse use potential. With the advent of lighter, smaller, higher powered, lower amperage cells, the technological applications have become “understandably” broad. Significantly, the use of portable medical devices which are battery-powered, has...
