Logic Fuse Protection for Li-Ion Battery Packs in High-Current Applications
Safe operation is the top priority for Li-Ion batteries. While conventional current fuses only offer protection against high current incidents, the SCHOTT SEFUSE® D6S range of Battery Logic Fuses provide additional protection against overcharging. These miniature SMD battery logic fuses reliably cut off in case of overcurrent during discharge or overcharging. Additionally, these fuses will help prevent fires caused by overheating. Suitable for space limiting applications these SMDs are available in packages as small as 0.7mm x 1.8mm x 2.7mm. Available from ATC Semitec, these SEFUSE® Battery Logic Fuses enable improved Li-ion battery safety in applications up to 60 Amps. Applications include battery packs for gardening/power tools, cordless, energy storage systems, e-bikes, e-scooters and e-motorcycles. • Compatible with up to 14 cells • Suitable for high currents • Extremely thin and compact design • Available in embossed tape.

Smiths Interconnect expands into burn-in test market with acquisition of Plastronics Smiths Interconnect, a division of Smiths Group plc, announces that it has completed the acquisition of Plastronics Sockets & Connectors (“Plastronics”), a leading supplier of burn-in test sockets and patented spring probe contacts for the semiconductor test market segment, as well as custom connectors for industrial applications. Plastronics’ technology, products, and capabilities complement and strengthen Smiths Interconnect’s existing portfolio of products and support the company’s ambition to be the partner of choice for semiconductor test customers around the world. The acquisition brings growth opportunities for both semiconductor test and
connectors. It also provides cross selling opportunities in both Asia and the US by leveraging the combined sales and manufacturing footprint of the companies. Smiths Interconnect President Julian Fagge said: "I am delighted to welcome Plastronics to the Smiths Interconnect family of technology brands. We are proud of our heritage supplying technically differentiated components critical to our customers’ products and operations. Plastronics fits very well with our long-term strategy, adding new technology, products and capabilities to the business and strengthens our position across our customer base”.

Compact, cordless, clever: Panasonic’s new insulated electric screwdriver The typical red and yellow handle or housing design has been established to easily identify tools that are particularly insulated and the right choice for working on machinery or devices that cannot be easily or entirely seperated from electric circuits. Panasonic enters now the market for insulated power tools - and presents its lightweight, Li-Ion driven and reliably insulated screwdriver EYED11SA. “A screwdriver is one of the simplest, but most frequently used tools in literally every area of crafts and engineering”, says Kunihiko Nedachi from Panasonic’s Power Tool department. “That’s why our focus had been to consequently maximize the comfort, safety and reliability of our insulated electric screwdriver.”

Power Integrations Combines Programmability, High Efficiency and Small Form Factor in New Zero-Voltage-Switching Power-Supply ICs Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits (ICs) for energy-efficient power conversion, today announced the InnoSwitch™4-Pro family of digitally controllable, off-line CV/ CC Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) flyback ICs, which substantially reduce the size
of power adapters. Incorporating a robust PowiGaN gallium-nitride primary switch and steady-state switching frequency of up to 140 kHz, the highly integrated devices reduce the component count and PCB area required for ultra-compact adapters for cellphone, notebook, tablet and multi-port accessories. “InnoSwitch4-Pro ICs interface seamlessly with Power Integrations’ ClampZero™ family of active clamp ICs to achieve ZVS in both continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM),” stated Aditya Kulkarni, product marketing manager at Power Integrations. “ZVS, combined with our PowiGaN™ technology, virtually eliminates switching losses. Efficiency exceeds 95 percent, which enables designers to eliminate the heat sinks, spreaders and potting materials typically required for thermal management.

Innovation, diversification, and support leads to 85% growth for reed relay manufacturer Pickering Electronics, the reed relay company which has pioneered miniaturization and high performance has announced significant growth as it enters its 55th year. A sales revenue increase of over 85% in the last two years, Pickering Electronics puts its success down to continuous product innovation. A reed relay, of course, is only as good as the reed switch itself, and Pickering uses the very best instrumentation-grade switches with appropriate switch blade coatings for the currents and voltages demanded by the application. An innovation still not
employed by some competition - was the introduction of SoftCenter™ technology which protects the reed switch and minimizes internal stresses, resulting in an extended life and contact resistance stability. The use of magnetic shielding, followed last year by the introduction of electrostatic screening in high voltage relays, prevents faulty operation. And of course, miniaturization, such as the recent 4mm2 range, which stack on a tiny 4mm x 4mm pitch whilst still switching up to 1 Amp, 20 Watts.

Omron adds two new MOSFET relays Omron Electronic Components Europe has expanded its extensive range of MOSFET relays with two new devices. The new Omron G3VM-401 and G3VM-601 offer high dielectric strength and high operating temperatures for applications in electric meters and industrial control. The new G3VM- 41UR pot is a highly responsive device offering low on-resistance and output capacitance in ultra-compact VSON packaging, aimed at test and measurement applications especially ATE. Operating temperatures can be a particular challenge for designers of electricity meters as these units have to be sealed to prevent tampering. The new Omron G3VM-401 and
G3VM-601 devices address this issue as they can withstand ambient temperatures of up to 110°C. They also offer a high dielectric strength of 5,000V rms AC. The devices are offered in both surface mount and through hole form, with SPST-NO contacts. They are power efficient, with a low trigger current of just 2mA. The G3VM-401 can handle a load current of up to 400V at 120mA and the G3VM-601 can handle up to 600V at 90mA.
