TDK has shrunk its 500V gate drive transformers to 11 x 13mm and 11mm high, smaller than its existing E10EM series. The new parts, called the EP9 series and aimed at both IGBTs and mosfets, are built on a MnZn ferrite core with surface-mount L-pin construction. Creepage and clearance is 5mm, peak withstanding is 2.5kVac 50Hz, and coupling capacitance is ...

Embedded World: COM-HPC Mini modules with Intel Gen 13 Core H, P or U
Tria Technologies is launching COM-HPC Mini computer modules at Embedded World next week. At there heart are Intel 13th generation Core H, P or U series processors, enabling “system designers to pick from a variety of energy efficient and performance options scaling up to fourteen cores and twenty threads at 15 to 35W thermal design power”, according to Tria. Alongside ...
Atom x7211RE industrial PC is only 100mm across
Advantech has put Intel’s Atom x7211RE at the center of an industrial PC measuring only 100 x 70 x 40mm. Called UNO-2271G V3, its dual-core processor is supported by 8Gbyte of LPDDR5 ram, plus options of 64Gbyte eMMC non-volatile storage and an M.2 B+M key 2242 (SATA/PCIe) slot. Windows 11 LTSC or Ubuntu 22.04 are the favoured operating systems. Standard ...
Charcroft Electronics acquires Sensor Techniques
The range of load cells and strain gauges available from Charcroft Electronics has increased with the acquisition of Sensor Techniques. Charcroft is a privately-owned, distributor and manufacturer of electronic components, including passive, interconnect, electromechanical and optoelectronic components, load cells and strain gauges, power supplies and rugged semiconductors. Sensor Techniques is a distributor of load cells and strain gauges for use ...
Small circular connector for Cat 5e industrial Ethernet
Hirose has created a circular connector for Cat-5e Ethernet in tough environments. HR22K is metal, and has push-on bayonet-lock operation with an audible click to indicate retention – rotate the sleeve to release. For an idea of size, see photo, the outside diameter of the sleeve is 21mm and the panel-mounting part has an M17 x 0.75mm nut. Sealing once ...
19mm force sensor measures up to 45N
Megatron has launched a family of diminutive force sensors for industrial use. Measuring 19 x 16 x 5mm (sensor only), KM019 comes in three versions: 0 to 10N, 0 to 20N or 0 to 45N. Tension or compression is applied through a pair of 4-40 UNC threaded holes in the two opposing 16 x 5mm faces – see below for ...
BF medical ac-dc PSUs rated for conduction, convection and fan cooling
XP Power’s CCR range of ac-dc power supplies is rated for BF (body floating) medical use from 110W to 420W. With a 25.4mm profile, there are three difference sizes, where each device has three different power ratings depending on how it is cooled: by forced air, by base-plate conduction or by natural convection: CCR200 79x58mm, 200W fan, 170W conduction, 110W ...
Pb-free thermistors for battery packs and drones
TDK has announced two series of Pb-free bead thermistors. “Both series are Pb-free and can measure temperatures between -40 °C and +155 °C,” according to the company. “At room temperature, their maximum power dissipation is 60mW. Both series are available with different rated resistances between 1kΩ and 100kΩ and different R/T characteristics [see table]. After 10,000h at +70°C, the deviation ...
Embedded World: CoM’s with pre-installed cloud communication software
Congatec is offering computer-on-modules pre-programmed with module-to-cloud communication software for remote monitoring, remote control and response automation. Branded ‘aReady.IOT’, and there is a matching central control dashboard to go with it. “The aim is to simplify the use of modern embedded applications,” said the company, “The pre-configured building blocks enable communication with machines, systems, devices and sensors via protocols such ...
Three-phase DIN rail power supplies
Following its acquisition or Leco, Recom has launched a series of DIN rail power supplies for three-phase and dc input busses. Two-phase ac operation is also possible. Called the RACPRO1 range, it includes five parts: 240W (24Vout), 480W (24 or 48Vout) or 960W (24 or 48Vout), which are 43mm, 52mm or 80mm wide respectively. Update: The company introduced matching electronic ...
