Advertorials Light pipes for status display
SCHURTER improves upon a classic product: the new 6600-5 series IEC outlets are available with integrated light pipes. An intelligent, space and cost-saving solution for PDUs used in data centers and other multi-distributed power applications.
The human need for information continues to expand at record pace, while continual advancements in information and communications technology (ICT), strive to keep pace with this demand. New data centers continually appear in the most unconventional of places to support this growing demand. These data centers are under constant pressure to improve upon efficiency and reliability under growing regulatory requirements to reduce energy use and cost. Meanwhile, the demand for reliable transmission with increased speed must keep pace. At the base of
this modern day economic demand and supply phenomena is an intelligent, reliable power supply and – at the base of that – a simple connector. SCHURTER is pleased to introduce its IEC outlets with integrated light pipes, which bring a simple yet improved solution to intelligent power distribution.
Freely configurable Today, PDUs often use LEDs mounted in between outlets to display a current status. The high packing density of servers in modern data centers demands the same of power distribution units. With SCHURTER's appliance outlet, the integrated light pipes provide space and assembly cost savings over conventional strip designs. Service technicians are able to clearly see which systems are working properly, or respond to required maintenance adjustments. The triggering of the LEDs is freely configurable, wherein each state can be clearly and independently represented. An outlet could, for example, signal an outage with a red LED, or a critical power consumption pattern with a yellow LED.
Optionally the SCHURTER 6600-5 is also available with only one or without light pipe.

Felsic HV, ultra-long lifetime and high voltage
screw terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor Exxelia’s Felsic HV family of screw terminal enables to achieve lifetimes never seen with aluminum capacitors. Indeed, the Felsic HV family of aluminum electrolytic screw terminal capacitors provides great performances in energy density and ultra-long lifetime. For example products can withstand 8 000 hours at 105°C under high values of current which makes them the perfect choice to overcome railway constraints. The family also has one of the lowest ESR for aluminum capacitors, less than 10m0hms in most cases. Products are available for voltages from 160 to 450 Vdc, and offer capacitance values from 1500 F up to 47 000µF. Thus the family is a good compromise between reliability and compacity, with for example 47 000µF @ 160V in a 90x200mm volume.
Typical applications: subway tramway propulsion unit and CVS, power supply for small signaling equipments.

Powerbox’s rugged power modules are perfect for harsh environments in extreme industrial automotive applications
Powerbox, one of Europe’s largest power supply companies and a leading force for four decades in optimizing power solutions for demanding applications, has introduced a 400W DC/DC converter for use in industrial automotive applications in extreme environments. Designed for free air convection cooling, the ENA400-M is packaged in an aluminum enclosure with built in heatsink and potted with heat conductive polyurethane to improving thermal dissipation. Ratified for IP67
operation and with a power efficiency of 95%, the DC/DC converter can be operated in ambient temperatures from -40 to +50 degrees C using free air convection. Suitable for 24V and 48V industrial bus voltages, the converter meets ISO7637-2 and EN12895. The ENA400-M’s high efficiency and highly optimized thermal design contribute to an increased lifetime in harsh environments.
Industrial automotive applications such as vehicles in the mining, timber and construction industries, agricultural machinery, trucks, and general outdoor infrastructures require extremely robust DC/DC power supplies that are able to operate flawlessly in humid and dusty conditions with high levels of vibration and often with little or no ventilation. Such conditions require power supplies to include state of the art power switching technology to reduce power dissipation, and thorough mechanical and thermal designs to ensure long life times in such demanding conditions and applications.

LOPEC 2017: Printed electronics reaches
new dimensions From March 28 to 30, 2017, LOPEC proved in Munich that the interest in printed electronics continues to grow. With over 2,500 participants (+20 percent) and 154 exhibitors (+four percent), the ninth edition of the international exhibition for printed electronics set new records. In fact, this year’s event was fully booked. LOPEC 2017 once again demonstrated why the event is considered world-leading: 54 percent of the participants came from abroad, from 50 countries.
The United Kingdom ranked number three after Germany and Korea.
Falk Senger, Managing Director of Messe München, is delighted: "The record numbers of LOPEC 2017 clearly reflect that the industry is developing in the right direction. Printed electronics has reached new dimensions." Concurrently, the LOPEC Conference impressed with a top-class, highly international line-up, featuring speakers from Samsung and the European Commission. The next LOPEC takes place from March 13 to 15, 2018.
Circuit simplification with Semitec CRDs
Where p.c.b. land area is limited, a single robust Semitec CRD can replace multiple components in space-critical applications. This simplifies product assembly and minimises component count and cost.
Semitec CRDs are constant current diodes and offer protection, stability and control when driving LED, optocoupler & battery-charging circuits.
Telegärtner is progressively building up its TestLine series portfolio. Until now, high-quality RF assemblies for laboratory and measurement purposes were available for up to 18 GHz only. However, the TestLine product line has recently been expanded with high-quality measurement cables with 2.92 plug connectors for measurements up to 40 GHz. Every cable is tested individually and meets the highest requirements regarding electrical transmission properties. Due to the special construction and dielectric used, the cables have excellent properties in terms of phase stability when bent. Another special feature is the precision plug developed specifically for the series and manufactured in stainless steel, guaranteeing a large number of mating cycles. Thanks to a special cable connection technique and the use of very high-quality RF cables for low, stable VSWR values, the cables are ideal for measurements in laboratories, for production testing or in field measurements.
