APP’s Solar SPEC Pak® is Now Certified to the BS EN 50521 Standard


Sterling, MA — Anderson Power Products® (APP), a leader in high power interconnect solutions, is pleased to announce that the envi- ronmentally sealed Solar SPEC Pak® connector is now certified ETL- EU to the European standard BS EN 50521 for connectors used in photovoltaic systems. The Solar SPEC Pak® was the


first multipole connector to achieve UL approval under UL6703A for North American applications. APP® has now earned certification to European standard BS EN 50521 by passing all the harsh mechanical,


5 Watt DC/DC Converter From Aimtek Boasts Cold -55°C Extreme


Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec, Canada — Aimtec’s new 5 W DC/DC convert- ers series, AM5E-FZ, operates at - 55°C to +85°C, without derating, to support all outdoor applications, including those at risk of being exposed to severe temperature condi-


environmental, and thermal tests. Under BS EN 50521, the Solar


SPEC Pak® is certified to 20 amps at 600 volts and is IP67 sealed in the mated condition, or when used with sealing covers. The housing is IP20 touch-safe in the unmated condition per EN 60529 when used with Fingerproof Powerpole® housings. The core Powerpole® technolo-


gy within the Solar SPEC Pak® shell is proven, reliable, and cost effective. The Solar SPEC Pak® will hold up to 4 Powerpole® power contacts, 16 sig- nal contacts, or a combination of


both. Ground contacts are First Mate/Last Break in accordance with


NEC 2008 and can occupy any of the connectors 4 positions. Contact housings are available


in a wide array of colors, offering color-coding options and design flex- ibility. The combination of housings, power, ground and signal, which can be installed in a user determined configuration, provide thousands of


design options. Contact: Anderson Power Pro - ducts, 13 Pratts Junction Road,


Multi-pole connector meets tough U.S. and Euro standards.

tions. Such applications include solar inverters, smart meters, transmis- sion equipment, security systems, traffic and advertising signage. Outdoor temperatures in more


than 24 regions across Europe and North America have been known to drop to below -45°C. Under such condi- tions, the above-noted applications can fail simply because one or more of their internal components are not designed to operate at or below -45°C. AM5E-FZ series offers 21 mod-


els with a choice of wide, 2:1 input ranging from 9 to 72VDC, stepping down to single or dual output ranges of 3.3 to 15VDC, at efficiency rates as high as 87%. Design engineers will also appreciate the tight line and load regulation of 0.5% (single output models), as it ensures that stable voltages are delivered throughout the operating range, under all load- ing conditions. With a fixed switching frequen-


cy of 300KHz, designs using the AM5E-FZ series benefit from a sim- plified filter design process, which also translates to smaller, more com- pact size. Other design value fea- tures include I/O isolation of 1.5KVDC, continuous short circuit protection, over load and voltage pro- tection, all housed in a compact 2”x1”


case which stands only 0.40” high. Contact: Aimtec, 205 rue Joseph
