Stretchable Selectively Plated Fabric

Laird and Statex have jointly released a new capability creating silver selective plating and high electrical conductivity on both sides of stretchable fabrics, thus opening new potential uses for flexible electronics. Uses will range from components found in consumer/professional wearable products to medical devices to military/aerospace and automotive-focused critical systems.

Wireless power transfer for electric vehicles

Premo has developed a new vehicle assembly flexible-pad for Wireless Charging for electric vehicles. The housing of this pad is made of magnetic powder in a polymer matrix or PBM (Polymer Bonded Magnetics). The PBM increased coupling factor “K” which is causing a high vibration and shock absorption. The mechanical dimensions have been designed based on SAE International WPT2/Z2 proposals.

CHS-series of Cosel

The CHS400 is a compact DC/ DC converter from Cosel, a Japanese manufacturer of high-quality converters and power supplies. The CHS400 has an output power of 400W with output voltages - which are adjustable - of 10, 12, 15, 24, 28, 32 and 48VDC in a quarter brick housing! Meanwhile operating temperatures may rise to 100°C. Only from 80°C, in some cases from 70°C, should derating be taken into account. This converter provides a high density and high efficiency of 95%.

High-voltage inserts for the ODU MEDI-SNAP®

All new, high-voltage inserts for the ODU MEDI-SNAP®. These inserts enable a reliable transmission of up to 1,000V AC @16A according to IEC 60664-1. Further, these are capable of preventing “hot plugging” by featuring a special pin-layout with lagging contacts. Due to its small size it fits in the smallest possible installation space of approx. Ø20 mm.

Unprecedented Powerful LED Driver XLG Series

Due to its constant power design and excellent cost performance features, the latest release XLG-25/50 series have already received wide and high recognition from customers. The XLG family (75 W -240W) will also be listed in the near future and provide a more complete full range of product lines.

Introduction alternatives for Intel NUC motherboards and systems

ASRI introduces alternatives for Intel NUC motherboards and systems. The Performance Comparison between Intel Whiskey Lake and KabyLake CPU’s with AMD Ryzen R- and V-series shows superior price/performance for our 4X4 product range.

CUSTOM VKP80III built-in kiosk printer

Custom VKP80III is the all-round solution for kiosk ticket printing for both indoor and outdoor applications. Printing an admission ticket or receipt remains preferable in public applications. Self-service kiosks need to have a reliable but compact built-in printer. The Custom VKP80III turns out to be an excellent choice for applications within banking machines, cash dispensers, gaming machines, parking payment terminals, queue management systems.

Mean Well’s new ICL-16R/16L; 16A AC Inrush Current Limiter

Connecting multiple power supplies on a single circuit breaker could cause problems while switching power on. Power supplies use capacitors at the input circuit which are used for filtering and stabilizing. These cause inrush currents when starting up. Although the peak currents only last for generally less than 5 ms, the currents can go up to 60A.

Coolzorb and Kzorb

When component issues arise, the hybrid absorbers from Laird are the answer. Designed to reduce the radiation of EMI noise and to provide a thermal path for heat to escape, our absorbers provide various levels of thermal conductivity and good attenuation across the board.

Creator CRT-711

Creator CRT-711 is a multifunctional card issuing/collecting machine with 1D and 2D barcode scanner to support paper card / ticket with 0.2 - 0.4mm thickness. The machine adopts high-intensity and anti-corrosion material. The CRT-711 could be widely used in applications for Car Parkings, theatres and other entertainment places, where they use member and access cards.
