December, 2012 Business Briefs Cornell Dubilier Buys Orange Drop
Line from SB Electronics New Bedford, MA — Cornell Dubilier Electronics, Inc. has acquired the Or- ange Drop® film capacitor product lines and all other radial product lines, from capacitor maker, SBE, Inc. (dba SB Electronics) of Barre, VT. Orange Drop capacitors made with film dielectric and metallized or foil electrodes are well known for their excellent performance in pulse DC and AC circuits. The Orange Drop line consists of roughly 20 series, each with its unique
design to cover diverse AC and DC applications ranging from filter caps in switch mode power supplies, to snubbers that protect IGBTs (Insulated gate bipolar transistors) in high power inverters. Offered in values from 0.22nF to 10µF and voltages from 100 to 2000VDC, Orange Drop Capacitors are radial leaded types that mount to a printed circuit board. The term Orange Drop Ca- pacitor was first coined in the 1960s by Sprague Capacitor Company, so apt-
ly named for their bright orange epoxy conformal coating. Contact: Cornell Dubilier Electronics, Inc., 1605 East Rodney French Blvd., New Bedford, MA 02744-2294 % 508-996-8564 Web:

TE Connectivity & Ubitricity Partner
for Hybrid Car Charging System Bensheim, Germany — TE Connectivity (TE) and Ubitricity have entered in- to a agreement to provide smart plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicle (PHEV) charging solutions. Their system will perform all data processes, in- cluding secure access, consumption metering and data communication,inside a portable smart charging cord. Stationary cost optimized sockets are used to access energy. The system is designed for international scalability and an ef- ficient technology introduction. TE and Ubitricity will work together to bring their mobile metering charging solution (Levels 1 and 2) to market. The Berlin, Germany based start-up is pioneering a paradigm shift for the PHEV charging infrastructure. Ubitricity’s solution hosts all electronics needed for secure access, metering
and billing inside the charging cable. The infrastructure cost for stationary intel- ligence in conventional charge spots is largely eliminated with this system. TE’s simple system sockets, with minimized operating costs for metering and access
management, are all the system requires in the charging infrastructure. Contact: TE Connectivity/Tyco Electronics Corp., 1050 Westlakes Drive, Berwyn, PA 19312 % 800-610-893-9800 Web:
