Würth Elektronik eiSos Group attain two more patents
The STAR-FIX and STAR-GAP snap ferrites are among the best-known products from Würth Elektronik eiSos. Many innovative details of the split ferrite cores are protected by patents for additional interference suppression. Now the cable prefixing has been patented, which thanks to a special conduction, prevents the cable from jamming during assembly.
The most striking patented property of the WE snap ferrites is the key. It can be used to reopen snap ferrites effortlessly, for example, when they are used in a test environment.
The second patent expands the already existing protection of an innovation in Europe to cover India: For the automatic SMD and THT assembly, Würth Elektronik iBE rod core chokes are furnished with a plastic part with a smooth surface that serves as contact point for the suction pipette of a placement head. Through a gap in the winding, the sprayed-on plastic also anchors the ferrite core. This prevents slippage during the automatic assembly and during use.
