Binder has introduced flange components for use with PBC15 connectors for secure power and signal transmission. The circular industrial connector specialist says the components are available as flange plugs and flange sockets (with locking mechanism). This is for both in unshielded plastic versions or shielded versions with metal components. They offer standard wire cross-sections of 1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm² ...

Colorado-based Advanced Energy has announced a half-brick dc-dc converter capable of delivering 1.3kW at 28V – a continuous current of 46.5A. Called ADH1300-48S28, it is aimed at telecom wireless base stations and other equipment with RF power amplifiers. Input range is 36 to 75Vdc, the output is adjustable across 14 to 33Vdc, and efficiency peaks at 95.5% to keep heat ...

Toshiba has added ten 1.2kV silicon carbide Schottky diodes to its collection, half in TO-247-2L packaging, and half in TO-247, claiming a forward voltage of typically 1.27V. A quick dip in the data sheets reveals that the TRS20H120H drops 1.27V (1.45V max) at 25°C and its maximum current of 20A. This typically rises to 1.64V at 150°C. This is one ...
