The RUTRONIK POWER range of scalable solutions for converting and switching energy as well as connecting resistive, capacitive, or inductive loads will be on display at the PCIM exhibition in Nuremberg (May 16-18). Together with the Chemnitz University of Technology, Rutronik will present the latest findings from research conducted in the field of battery diagnosis.

Rutronik has introduced MPE-Garry’s range of high performance power connectors to its portfolio. The 724/725 series requires minimum space on the board. The new connectors can transmit currents of up to 25A per way. They are offered as pure power connectors with power contacts only and as combination connectors with a mix of power and signal contacts. The compact design of the devices is achieved using a pitch of 5.00/2.00mm.

The new Distribution. Art Car was unveiled by Rutronik in the Audi Center in Karlsruhe. It marks a continuation by the distributor of the successful project that combines art, electronics and motorsport, all in the name of a worthy cause. An art car is a fully functional car designed as an artwork. Rutronik’s Distribution. Art Car. 2017 follows the motto “show your FACE the truth”.

The PIC16F15386 family, a powerful launching point into the 8-bit PIC microcontroller (MCU) portfolio from Microchip is now available at distributor Rutronik. In addition to Microchip’s current Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs), this new family includes a high-accuracy 32MHz internal oscillator and memory features such as Memory Access Partition (MAP) with bootloader-friendly write-protection to prevent accidental over-write.

The new PU series of low ohmic shunt resistors from Yageois specifically designed for automotive and power system applications. It is available at distributor Rutronik. Adopting the welding metal plate method, the new PU series is AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive requirements.

When Apple launched the first iPhone back in 2007, controlling industrial machinery and large plants via a touch-screen was unthinkable – in the meantime this has become a matter of course though. It is therefore plain to see, even without virtual reality glasses, that augmented reality, which is becoming more and more common in the private sector, will also become the standard in the professional sector.

In order to keep pace with ever-stricter limits for CO2 emissions, the shift to the 48V electrical system is unavoidable. What does this 'transformation' of conventional power applications in the vehicle to higher voltage levels mean for electronic components?

Rutronik is hosting a Speakers’ Corner on its stand at the Embedded World 2017 exhibition in Nuremberg (March 14-16). Embedded developers can find out at talks given by Renesas and Toshiba how they can optimally integrate the new technologies from these manufacturers in their designs.

Be it razor holders reordering blades at the push of a button or refrigerated containers being monitored on their journey between continents – the IoT (Internet of Things) already connects many things; a trend that seems to be increasing by the day. Who knows how many it will eventually be? According to forecasts, between 200 million and 100 billion devices will be connected through the Internet of Things by 2020 alone. Author: Anja Schaal...

Distributor Rutronik has presented a highly-compressible Thermal Interface Material (TIM) from Panasonic, the Soft-PGS. Its 200µm thickness guarantees thermal stability up to 400°C with thermal conductivity up to 400W/mK. Soft-PGS is a 200µm thick graphite sheet designed for use as a thermal interface material for IGBT modules.

  Ahead of embedded world 2017, Rutronik has teamed up with Chemnitz University of Technology to demonstrate that impedance spectroscopy for lithium-ion batteries is not just restricted to the laboratory. 

With the I2C EERAM memory, Microchip presents a new low-cost, low-risk memory solution offering unlimited endurance and safe data storage at power loss. The EERAM memory is available at distributor Rutronik as of now. The new I2C EERAM memory is an easy to implement, non-volatile SRAM (NVSRAM) that offers a robust and dependable data solution thanks to compromising the two reliable memory technologies, EEPROM and SRAM, on a single chip.
