AC/DC converters consume minimal power in standby mode
The 15W and 20W AC/DC power supplies from RECOM are designed for low power IoT and household applications. They are available at rutronik24.com. Based on the footprint of the compact RAC10-K modules, these new modules feature high-efficiency over a wide load range and minimal standby power consumption.
Transforming power grids for an efficient future
With a fast growing global population and increasing levels of industrialisation, demand for electricity is expected to soar 60% between now and 2040. That means power grids will be called on to transmit more power, more efficiently. And to do so, they’ll have to adapt to an evolving energy landscape.

DIN rail power supplies come with enhanced reliability
DIN rail power supplies from PULS are now available with conformal-coated PCBs to provide increased reliability in difficult environmental condition. This mitigates against high air humidity which can create condensation and a concentration of conductive particles in the environment, where the attraction of dust particles may be due to electrostatic charge.
Easy to install HCME series comes in a compact design
Supporting the trend towards miniaturisation, HARTING’s new HCME current sensor series can be directly mounted on busbars. This contributes to shorter installation and an easy pre-assembling of power electronics.Despite the limited space requirements – the dimensions of the devices are 6cm in height and 14cm wide – the HCME current sensors measure high currents up to 5500A with highly reliable precision.
Single power monitoring ICs measure power from 0V to 32V
Microchip Technology has announced two- and three-channel power monitoring devices that measure from 0V to 32V on a single chip, offering designers solutions that are easy to adopt and improve power measurement accuracy. The two-channel device is also the industry’s first with native 16-bit resolution, providing flexibility across a wide measurement range.
PMICs drive optimised power for ADAS functions
With a series of power-management ICs (PMICs) from Maxim Integrated Products, designers can optimise power for automotive advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) functions to achieve high performance, small size, efficiency, and electrical protection.ADAS functions, many of which are now mandatory or will be soon, increase vehicle safety and enhance the driving experience.
InnoTrans 2018: transducer innovations by Knick
Smooth-running services as well as passenger and employee safety in railway operations depend on functions such as emergency shutdown in the event of short circuits, detection of delayed potentials, and safe signal transmission. Therefore, transducers for railway applications must meet the highest standards of reliability and precision.
Double choke with moulding technology features soft saturation
Manufacturer of electronic and electromechanical components, Würth Elektronik hasunveiled WE-MCRI - a novel double choke: It is the first of its kind on the market with molding technology. With its soft saturation characteristics, a WE-MCRI is above all suited for DC/DC converter applications.
Considerations when comparing SiC and GaN in power applications
Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor technologies are promising great things for the future. SiC devices in a cascode configuration enable existing systems to be easily upgraded to get the benefits of wide band-gap devices right now. By: Anup Bhalla, VP Engineering, UnitedSic.
Current sense resistors come in 2- and 4-terminal options
The CSS series high power current sense resistors from Bourns that come in both 2-terminal and 4-terminal options can now be sourced in Europe through TTI. The 2-terminal models are available in three different footprint sizes: 5930, 3920 and 2512 (6332 Metric). With resistance values as low as 0.2mΩ, each family will have a range of low resistance options and power ratings of up to 15W.
