We’re seeing connectivity reaching everywhere and reaching further, with Internet traffic volume exploding and data-storage needs growing at hard-to-comprehend rates.
The amount of physical infrastructure, connectivity and electrical power required to support this growth is astounding. This infrastructure —...



In recent years tin-copper based solders with a variety of elemental additives have emerged which improve the overall properties and performance of tin-copper solders.
This paper is a summary of the experience at a medium sized assembler in achieving the customer driven mandate to go lead-free and the maintenance...



Your sump pump is your home’s first line of defense against flooding. Without battery backup during a power outage, your sump pump will stop working and your home will be placed at risk.
For anyone with a little mechanical aptitude, a DIY system consisting of an inverter/charger and one or more batteries...



The range of battery-powered devices extends from powerful hand tools for craftsmen, to sensors for room surveillance all the way through life-saving medical aids. The safety of such devices presents quite a challenge.
To ensure the safe operation of standalone devices, SCHURTER offers two SMD fuses with low power...



TE Connectivity’s new POWER TRIPLE LOCK (PTL) connector solution directly responds to the appliance industry’s desire for increased reliability and functionality, security and ease of use.
The world demand for major household appliances, or white goods, is forecast to rise 3.6% annually through 2015, exceeding...



Even though the eGaN FET was designed and optimized as a power-switching device, it also exhibits good RF characteristics. The smallest 200 V eGaN FET, EPC2012, was selected for RF evaluation and should be viewed as a starting point from which the RF characteristics of future eGaN FET part numbers can be optimized for...



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...



Portescap introduces the new 22ECS brushless motor designed specifically for high speed applications. The 22ECS has been optimized to be one of the most advanced and highest performing brushless slotless motors in its class. The 22ECS offers exceptional efficiency and runs up to 30% cooler than similar motors at speeds...



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...



Vector Network Analyzers of Rohde&Schwarz family are able to measure magnitude and phase of complex S-parameters of a device under test (DUT) in the frequency domain. By means of the inverse Fourier transform the measurement results can be transformed to the time domain. Thus, the impulse or step response of the DUT...



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....



This guide will begin by reviewing instrument fundamentals, learning how to use SMUs, and examining the features that can help you set up your instrument. Then go over the key best practices you can apply to your test setup to mitigate various errors seen when taking DC measurements.
This guide explores these...
