Glenair Series 806 connectors offering significant size and weight savings can now be sourced through Powell Electronics
In stock at Powell Electronics, the supplier of connectors and more for high- rel applications including defence, aerospace and industrial, are Series 806 Mil-Aero connectors from Glenair. The products offer significant size and weight savings while meeting key performance benchmarks for a broad range of applications such as commercial and military aerospace, industrial robotics, transportation systems and more.
Designed for use in harsh vibration, shock and environmental settings — as well as high-altitude, unpressurized aircraft zones with aggressive voltage ratings and altitude immersion standards, Series 806 connectors feature numerous mechanical design innovations including durable mechanical insert retention, radial seals and triple-ripple grommet seals. The reduced thread pitch and re-engineered ratchet prevents decoupling problems which solves one of the major problems of shell size 9 and 11 MIL- DTL-38999 Series III connectors. Glenair Series 806 Mil-Aero connectors feature size 22HD and 20HD contacts as well as size 8 power and high speed El Ochito®, quadrax, and fiber optic options. The devices offer up to twice the number of contacts with no reduction in performance. Independent laboratory testing has demonstrated that the connectors meet, and in many cases even exceed, the requirements of the MIL-DTL-38999 specification. A “top hat” insulator with raised bosses ensures foolproof alignment of insulator cavities. An O-ring radial interface sealing design instead of a flat gasket allows for easier metal-to-metal coupling, improved sealing, and better EMI performance.

Power Integrations Revs Up Motor-Drive Offering With BridgeSwitch-2 BLDC IC Family
BLDC motor hardware-software combo slashes inverter sleep-mode consumption to less than 10 mW, expands output power to 1 HP
Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today enhanced its hardware-software bundle for brushless DC motors (BLDC) with BridgeSwitch™-2, a new high-voltage integrated half-bridge (IHB) motor-driver IC family targeting applications up to 1 HP (746 W). The new ICs, which feature high- and low-side drivers and advanced FREDFETs with integrated lossless current sensing, deliver inverter efficiency of up to 99 percent. The IHB architecture eliminates hot spots, which increases design flexibility and reliability, slashes component count and saves PCB area. BridgeSwitch-2 is supported by Power Integrations’ MotorXpert™ software suite which includes single-phase trapezoidal control and three-phase sensor-less Field Oriented Control (FOC) modules, speeding inverter development.
BridgeSwitch-2 ICs handle operational exceptions in hardware, which permits the use of IEC 60730 Class A safety software, reducing certification time by months. Quiescent BLDC inverters can be ordered into sleep-mode, reducing driver power consumption to less than 10 mW; this leaves more power available under regulated standby power limits to be allocated for loads such as network access and monitoring.
