Advertorials German component distribution defies
ailing market In the first quarter 2019 the turnover of companies organised in the Professional Association of Component Distribution (Fachverband Bauelemente-Distribution, FBDi e.V.) grew by 4% to around 922 million euros. However, orders dropped by close to 17% to 832 million euros, which equates to a book-to-bill ratio of 0.9.
In the large product segments, growth in passive components continued at an above- average rate with 21.4% (to 114 million euros), followed by semiconductors, which were up by 3.5% to 664 million euros. All other product areas, including electromechanics (-4.1% to 89 million euros), were down. As a result, there was a slight shift in favour of passive components (12%) and semiconductors (72%) in terms of the percentage share of the overall market. Electromechanics held its 10% share, while all other segments combined to 6%.
19“ rack housings with small depth
For electronic devices with low space requirement or for applications with limited assembly space in a 19” rack company Fischer Elektronik offers a 19” rack housing with small depth, the VESA GT. Due to the low installation depth the assembly space in the 19” rack, which is positioned behind the VESA GT, can be perfectly used for other devices or wirings. Typical applications of the VESA GT are the ones with displays and control elements. The installation of a terminal or connector strip for the power supply and a variety of other applications are also possible.
The case has a simple and solid structure made of a front panel consisting of an extruded aluminium profile and a cover plate being made of an aluminium metal sheet with a thickness of 1,5mm. Catalogue versions of the VESA GT cases are available in seizes of 1U up to 3U as well as with an insertion depth of 50mm or 70mm. The surface of the VESA GT is natural colour anodized (ME) as a standard design. When using a conductive surface TP (transparent passivated) and additionally screw connections being placed in small intervals the use of the VESA GT case for EMC purposes is possible. Optional handles simplify the extraction of the case out of the 19” rack and the design with ventilations slots allows an optimum heat dissipation of the installed electronic.
Beside of the standard designs the new cases can be produced in different dimensions, surfaces as well as with printings or further customised machinings.

Very compact 2 x 4in single output
power supplies provide up to 300W Leading power supply specialist, Powersolve, announces a series of compact, single output AC-DC power supplies designed to provide as much as 300W output. They a wide operating temperature range of -30º to +85ºC (with some derating). The six model PSY300 series are open baseplate units with a tiny 2 x 4in (50.8 x 101.6mm) footprint and a height of 1.31in (33.5mm).
Operating from a wide 90 to 264VAC input range with active PFC, models in the PSY300 series provide single fixed output voltages of 12V, 18V, 24V, 30V, 48V or 54V DC, providing up to 150W convection cooled, 180W conduction cooled through baseplate and 250W with fan cooling. With both conduction and forced air cooling, a PSY300 unit can give up to 300W output power. A 12V, 0.3A fan supply is a standard feature.
PSY300 units are efficient (up to 92%) and feature a no load power consumption figure of 0.15W without fan. The power supplies are protected against short circuit, over current, over voltage and over temperature.
The units have a high capacitive load capability, are suitable for Class I and Class II operation and feature an extra low leakage current figure of less than 100µA.
The PSY300 series meet all relevant EMI radiated and conducted standards and have a number of safety approvals pending. Powersolve can also supply models with any output voltages from 9V to 57VDC, still within the safety approvals, but these may be subject to minimum order quantities.

80 synchronized AWG-channels in one PC Spectrum Instrumentation has used its modular design philosophy to create a unique solution for customers wanting multi-channel AWGs: Having 8 AWG channels on a single PCIe-card only 168 mm in length offers great new opportunities for very compact and affordable test systems. The addition of the two new 8-channel-cards to Spectrum's latest "65" series of PCIe Arbitrary waveform generators means that, using Spectrum’s Star-Hub, up to 80 channels can be fully synchronized in a single PC! As standard, all cards of the "65" series offer a huge on-board memory of 512 MSamples to store and replay lots of waveforms. Using the PCIe-x4 platform, these AWGs provide a data transfer speed which is 5 to 10 times higher than in other solutions, offering 700 MByte/s of FIFO streaming speed. This is ideal for automated testing when customers need to replay lots of different test signals over many channels to accurately recreate real world test conditions. Applications include component testing, automotive, robotics, aerospace, medical and industrial ultrasound, LIDAR, radar and sonar.
“This family of AWG cards has the lowest noise of any AWGs that we have so far designed, being more than 20% lower when compared to our predecessor AWG families” said Oliver Rovini, Spectrum’s CTO. “In addition, these cards now have 16-bit resolution and a clock being twenty times more accurate at only ±1 ppm. We already have a university research department using an AWG to control the placement of individual atoms.”
Offering up to 8 channels per card, the cost per channel is cut dramatically. This makes Spectrum’s high-performance test solutions really affordable and opens up new application areas that were restricted due to the high costs of multi-point, dedicated AWG solutions.
