Advertorials | Interconnection Bulgin push-pull coupling Buccaneer connectors


launched at Electronica 2012 Visit Booth 572 in Hall B3 at Electronica 2012 to see the latest rugged Buccaneer range of connectors from Bulgin – an Elektron Technology connectivity brand. The all new Buccaneer 6000 Series of waterproof power, signal and data connectors features a unique and easy to use, patent pending push-pull latching mechanism, combined with a unique 30˚ twist lock, that connects up to 10 times faster than a traditional screw thread mechanism. This latest addition to the popular Buccaneer range gives engineers and product design professionals even greater flexibility in systems design, and is designed to withstand the harshest environments, meeting IP66, IP68 and IP69K standards.


The Buccaneer 6000 Series includes data (USB or Ethernet), signal and power versions up to 16A, 277V, and complements the popular screw thread Buccaneer range. Available in fully interchangeable metal and plastic constructions, the body mouldings and pin carriers have been specifically designed to create a robust interface while avoiding damage during coupling. This guarantees a correctly sealed connection – even where access is restricted.

Industrial connector module offers high-voltage


transmission with minimum space requirement A new high-voltage single module has been added to the HARTING Han-Modular(R) industrial connector series, allowing the transmission of extremely high voltages with a minimum space requirement.


The Han(R) HV single module incorporates TEFLON material to provide high-voltage insulation, allowing a Han(R) 24 B connector, for example, to be designed with up to 12 power contacts rated at 16 A and 2500 V. The module can also be combined with signal and pneumatic modules.


The new connector module features a high working voltage of 2500 V, and is based on a space-saving design with two power contacts per module. It uses crimp terminal technology, and can handle conductor cross sections of between 0.14 and 4 mm”.


HARTING’s Han-Modular(R) series, as an open connector system, can provide flexible configuration to the users’ individual requirements. It gives the user the freedom to assemble a customised connector from a range of more than 40 modules for electrical, optical and gaseous signals. The module range is continually expanded, allowing new configurations to be realised.

CUI’s Novum Power Modules Rely on Powervation’s Digital Power Controllers for Self-Adapting, Automatic Loop Compensation


12 A, 25 A, & 50 A Digital POL Modules with Optional PMBus™ Compliant Interface Powervation Ltd., the pioneer in adaptive digital power IC solutions that increase system efficiency, improve field reliability, and accelerate time to market, today announced that power supply and power module maker CUI, Inc. (http://www.cui.com/), a subsidiary of CUI Global, Inc. has selected its PV3012 next-generation digital controller in two newly-released power product families.


Headquartered in Tualatin, USA, CUI’s Novum Advanced Power line focuses solely on the design and development of leading edge products for distributed power architecture applications. The new NDM2P-series PMBus compliant point of load (POL) converters are the latest additions to the company’s Novum Advanced Power product line. Also new is the Novum NSM2P-series, the industry’s first self-compensating no-bus digital POL DC/DC module family, which targets customers who need the flexibility and configurability of digital power, as well as low component count and high reliability, but who do not wish to include digital bus communications in their systems.


Both power module product families deliver intelligent adaptive self-compensation through the use of Powervation’s Auto-Control® technology. Automatically and dynamically balancing the trade-off between performance and system stability in real time, Auto-Control compensates for changes in the converter’s output impedance (e.g., component aging, manufacturing variances, and temperature) and wide variety of potential loads.


In addition to providing the company’s patented adaptive loop compensation technology, the PV3012’s differential measurement and high resolution ADC, enables precision measurement and precision control of outputs. PV3012 provides 0.5% set-point voltage regulation over the module’s wide input range of 4.5 V ~ 14 V, and output current measurement down to 3% accuracy over a wide range of load currents.


The converter’s output can be configured and controlled through pre-stored configurations, single resistor pin strapping, or via PMBus commands. When used in dual phase mode, phases may be added or removed as the load varies, so that efficiency is maximized over the load range. Additionally, the outputs of the phases are interleaved so that the effective switching frequency at the output is doubled. With Powervation’s Digital Stress Share (DSS) and PLL synchronization, multiple PV3012 devices may be used in parallel to increase the number of phases supporting the application’s load.


Comments Mark Adams, Senior Vice President, CUI Inc.: “The configurability and flexibility of the PV3012 and its outstanding transient response, allows our modules the performance and features demanded by our customer base. The NDM2P modules are our highest performing modules in these key areas.”


Adds Powervation’s CEO, Mike McAuliffe: “CUI’s innovative new power modules perfectly utilizes our adaptive digital controllers to maximize performance regardless of load or operating conditions. We are pleased to have worked closely with CUI on developing these new modules and are sure that customers will appreciate the significant performance benefits that they offer.”

Power Electronics Corp. feature very low saturation voltage Advanced Power Electronics Corp. (USA), a leading Taiwanese manufacturer of MOS power semiconductors for DC-DC power conversion applications, has recently released a new family of high speed 600V discrete IGBTs for use in AC and DC motor control, home appliances (such as air conditioning, refrigerators, microwave ovens), UPS, solar inverters, and induction cookers.


All AP20GT60 family IGBTs feature a collector/emitter voltage rating, VCEs, of 600V, a peak gate emitter voltage rating, VGE, of ±20V, and a very low saturation voltage.


AP20GT60P-HF-3 benefits from a typical saturation voltage, VCE(sat), of 1.8V at Ic=20A, a maximum power dissipation at 25degC of 104W, and comes in a fully RoHS-compliant and halogen-free TO-220 package. AP20GT60ASP-HF-3 (with internal diode) has a typical saturation voltage of 1.7V at Ic=19A, a maximum power dissipation at 25degC of 78W, a diode forward current rating of 8A, and a diode pulse forward current rating of 40A. It comes in a fully RoHS-compliant and halogen-free TO-220 package.

ERNI Electronics extends MicroCon connector family ERNI Electronics has significantly extended the MicroCon connector family. In addition to the 50-pin straight male and female connectors originally introduced, other versions with different numbers of pins, heights and also in angled variants are available for delivery at short notice. With an innovative, modular tool manufacturing concept for the insulator body, ERNI is capable - within just six weeks from the time of receiving the order - of supplying versions with pin numbers from 12 to 140 and heights of 1.0 mm or 2.0 mm for the male connectors as well as 4.0 mm, 6.0 mm and 8.0 mm for the female connectors.


The MicroCon connectors are designed for parallel (board-to-board and Mezzanine), orthogonal (90 degrees) and coplanar PCB connections.


The dual-row MicroCon series with 0.8mm pitch is suitable for a wide range of applications in the industrial, medical, lighting, automotive and consumer electronics market. It constitutes a complementary extension to the dual-row SMC family with 1.27mm pitch and the MicroStac family with a hermaphroditic 0.8mm pitch design.


For the MicroCon family, ERNI Electronics has also retained two essential design features in the miniaturised 0.8mm pitch. A unique feature for connectors in this size is the use of double- sided spring contacts for secure mating and a high level of reliability and in spite of their miniaturised design, the MicroCon connectors offer a high mating tolerance with permissible misalignment tolerances in the longitudinal and transverse axes of +/- 0.7 mm. The angular inclination tolerance is +/- 4 degrees.
