The idea of a higher vehicle electrical system voltage in automobiles is not new. As early as the 1990s, a 42V consortium was set up. However, due to a lack of standards, this approach was not successful. But now everything is to change.

The use of space by satellites has so far focused on scientific, communicative and military aspects. This will change massively in the future. Whole swarms of small satellites are to orbit the globe and supply mankind with internet from orbit.

SCHURTER and the European Space Agency (ESA) have a long and intensive cooperation in research and development. SCHURTER has been the exclusive supplier of fuses for a decade. The biennial recertification also took place in 2018 without any complaints.

The MSM Metal Line series with ring lighting has been revised and fine-tuned bySCHURTER.The optimised switches of the MSM family still have the same diameter of 19, 22 and 30mm. The high-quality housing made of either robust stainless steel or aluminium also remained untouched.

Every motorist wants maximum comfort and maximum safety. So more and more electronics are being packed into the vehicle for this purpose. This leads to a constantly increasing power density with not insignificant thermal hazard potential.

SCHURTER has extended its power entry module series DD12 with new flange variants for screw and snap mounting. New versions are also available with additional ground choke for suppressing high frequency interference on the ground conductor. The DD12 with fuse holder, switch and filter offers remarkable functionality in a very compact housing.

SCHURTER accessorises its illuminated Metal Line switches with the PSUP 24VDC universal switching power supply. The Class II power supply supports SCHURTER’s full range of point and ring illuminated Metal Line switches rated for 24VDC supply voltage. The PSUP is also suited for a wide variety of indoor lighting applications such as LED.

Modern electronic equipment is designed to deliver high performance in a compact size. Often this causes problems affecting the equipment itself or other nearby devices due to the inherent electro-magnetic interferences being generated in and between the different systems. To meet these EMC challenges, high performance power entry modules must also keep pace, and such is the case with the new DD14 series from SCHURTER.

Connectors that are approved in accordance with IEC 60320 are suitable for use at ambient temperatures of up to 40°C. The average temperature over a period of 24 hours should not exceed 35°C with a lower limit of -5°C for the ambient air temperature. But can it go higher?

Overvoltages take place during events such as switching operations, electrostatic discharges as well as lightning discharges. Be they direct or indirect, they are introduced by galvanic, inductive or capacitive means to electrical lines, with the potential to create devastating effects.
