Cost-effective thermal protectors from SEKI Controls now in stock


A range of bi-metallic protectors and thermal cut-outs from SEKI Controls, are now readily available at ATC Semitec. Competitively priced and highly reliable, the SEKI thermal protectors, are ideal for limiting excessively high temperatures- protecting a wide range of home and industrial appliances from internal and external damage. Providing protection and temperature control from 50°C to 180°C, they are available in calibration steps of 5K and a set-point tolerance of ±5K. Available in either a plastic casing (ST range) or metal casing (CK range) - the ST range includes features such as moisture resistance and customisable lead-wires and unlike thermal fuses, the ST series cut-outs reset automatically, allowing them to be used as a permanent safety component. Rob Savin, ATC Semitec’s Managing Director commented “We are very excited about this range of thermal protectors from SEKI Controls, which have already proved to be popular with a number of major UK manufacturers. Their small and compact designs allow for simple integration into a wide range of products. When their high quality is combined with cost-effective pricing, it is a winning combination for manufacturers of products such as battery packs, domestic and industrial appliances.”

Direct Insight creates QNX 7 BSP for power-efficient


Toradex Colibri iMX8X SoC modules Direct Insight, the UK-based, technical systems integrator and reseller of system-on-module (SoM) and other embedded systems, has created a QNX 7 Board Support Package (BSP) for Toradex’s Colibri iMX8X embedded computing modules. The combination of a feature-rich OS with real-time capability and mission-critical and the powerful ARM core processor perfectly suits applications such as medical devices, navigation, industrial automation, HMIs, avionics, POS, data acquisition, robotics, and more. Toradex Colibri iMX8X modules feature the NXP® i.MX 8X family of embedded SoCs, including the top-tier i.MX 8QuadXPlus (i.MX 8QXP) which features four Cortex-A35 cores - currently ARM’s most efficient ARM v8 core as the main processor cluster. The SoCs provide full 64-bit ARM v8-A support while maintaining seamless backward compatibility with 32-bit Armv7-A software. The main cores run at up to 1.2 GHz. Comments David Pashley, Direct Insight’s MD: “The BSP unlocks the full benefits of the QNX OS on


the power-efficient Toradex modules. QNX is perfect for real time, safety critical applications, and the BSP created by Direct Insight provides a great starting point for high-availability industrial designs.” The QNX 7 Board Support Package (BSP) for Toradex’s Colibri iMX8X contains all the basic features


required to run the OS on the board. Included are drivers for various interfaces including Ethernet, Watchdog timer, I2C, SPI, USB, SD Card, UART. A display driver is also planned. The BSP is free to download as a demo system, and the source code can be licensed on a per-project basis for an affordable fee. Direct Insight also offers enhancements to the BSP, including additional drivers and production-hard- ening and testing, as an additional services engagement.

Positronic in stock at Powell Electronics Available through Powell Electronics, the supplier of connectors and more for high-rel applications including defence, aerospace and industrial, is the highly versatile Scorpion modular connector system from Positronic. The components can be configured for use as power connectors (16A up to 120A), signal level connectors or as a combination of the two in an almost endless variety of power/ signal contact configurations. The unique modular tooling provides multiple keying options, yet still provides a one piece insulator for use in the finished connector. Positronic’s Scorpion series includes 35+ modules available in standard profile (14.6mm height) and low profile (8.2mm height) versions. Blank module options allow design engineers to space power and signal contacts to meet creepage and clearance values required for specific applications. The Scorpion series includes board-to-board, cable-to-cable or board and panel-to-cable or board


versions. An outlet hole enables air cooling onto a power contact. Termination options are solder PCB mount, crimp and press-fit. Available mating alternatives are blind mating, float mount, panel mount and cable connector with a unique locking system. The precision formed and solid machined contacts feature shielded, high voltage and hyperboloid contact versions.

Automotive-Qualified Qspeed Silicon Diodes Feature Lowest Qrr for Efficient, High-Switching-Speed Designs


Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today announced its 600 V 12 A Qspeed diode, delivering the industry’s lowest reverse recovery charge (Qrr) for a silicon diode. With a Qrr of just 14 nC at 25 °C, it improves efficiency of the PFC stage of on-board chargers and significantly reduces the thermals of the PFC MOSFETs. The AEC-Q101-qualified QH12TZ600Q offers the same low-switching loss performance of a silicon carbide (SiC) device without the disadvantages of moving to more expensive technology. Edward Ong, senior product marketing manager at Power Integrations said: “The Qrr of these new Qspeed diodes is half that of the next best ultra-fast silicon diodes, resulting in very high system efficiency. This is particularly important for automotive on-board charger applications that require higher switching frequency to reduce volume and weight, and enables the Qspeed diodes to replace SiC devices.” The QH12TZ600Q uses merged PiN and Schottky diode technology to achieve high performance. Its smooth reverse recovery current transition characteristics not only increase efficiency, but also reduce EMI and peak reverse voltage stress, eliminating the need for snubbers when used as output rectifiers in on-board chargers. Devices are available in the compact, 2.5 kV isolated TO-220 package which enables direct mounting to metal heat sinking, facilitating excellent thermal performance. The new 600 V 12 A Qspeed diodes are priced at $1.17 in 10,000-piece quantities. For further inquiries contact a Power Integrations sales representative or one of the company’s authorized worldwide distributors: Digikey, Farnell, Mouser, and RS Components.
