ChipCap2 offers one of the most advanced and cost effective humidity and temperature sensing solutions for virtually any type of application. A capacitive polymer sensor chip and a CMOS integrated circuit with EEPROM are integrated into one embedded system in a reflow solderable SMD package. Individually calibrated and tested, ChipCap2 performs at ±2% from 20% to 80% RH (±3% over entire humidity range), and is simple and ready to use without further calibration or temperature compensation.

Unlike traditional outlets, which require wiring of individual quick connect or solder terminals, the 6610 with IDC technology allows wires to be bussed across the terminals, thereby connecting common terminals all at once. The IDC terminals are arranged either along or across the connector pin axis, allowing for a horizontal or vertical mounting orientation. Wires are pressed into place with the protective back cover. Versions with combination IDC and a quick-connect or solder terminal, for separate wiring of the line connection, are also available.

The 6610 outlet is newly offered with the V-Lock notch intended for use with a mating cordset that latches into the outlet to prevent unintentional disconnection from the power. The outlet is F style according to IEC 60320. The snap-in unit fits panels in 0.8mm-3mm in thickness. It is approved by cURus at 15 A at 125/250 VAC and ENEC at 10A / 250VAC, and is qualified for applications in accordance with IEC/EN 60950. Click here for more information on the 6610 visit.

CDI announces the global launch of Precision, Inc’s new LLC transformer which provides up to 99% efficiency and extremely low power loss. The technology combines two discrete components – a resonant inductor and transformer – into a single package reducing costs by as much as 75% and real estate up to 50%.

The LLC transformer is a key component in determining the efficiency of an LLC resonant converter. A resonant power conversion topology minimizes switching losses by promoting zero voltage switching (ZVS), minimizing unnecessary power dissipation in switches. Power dissipation can be lowered to as little as 5%, ensuring 99% transformer efficiency and 95% overall efficiency.

Precision’s experienced engineers study the LLC transformer design to obtain the correct leakage inductance through bobbin and litz wire optimizations. Their expertise in this area can be applied to each unique application to reduce transformer losses and costs by as much as 30%. This combination ensures that Precision customers can get the most optimized product, in the shortest amount of time.

The LLC transformer is the heart of a converter’s operation and any delay in delivery can add weeks or months to the design cycle. Time to market is minimized as the design is optimized from the beginning, eliminating the need for design reiterations.

PPI and Modelithics, Inc. have collaborated to develop Global™ Models for four series of PPI’s ultra-low ESR capacitors.

These models are currently available and included in the 2013 Modelithics Library releases. They are compatible with Agilent ADS and Genesys and AWR’s Microwave Office™ simulators.

Responding to customer requests to extend this sensor technology to a wider range of their applications, Pulse has created this larger inner diameter product to accommodate current carrying conductors up to 0.750 inches (19.05mm) in diameter, or the industry standard 0.750 in. x 0.093 in. (19.05mm x 2.36mm) buss bar.

With a dynamic range of 0.10 to more than 1000 Amps, this sensor provides extremely accurate measurement of AC current at 50 Hz or 60 Hz in smart meters, industrial motor controls, and power line monitoring applications. Pulse’s Sidewinder sensor handles the full current measurement capabilities of the traditional current transformer, at a lower price point and no saturation limits.
