CUI Introduces 30 and 60 W Dual Output Industrial Power Supplies

CUI Inc announced a new series of enclosed dual output internal switching power supplies. The VGD series is offered in two configurations, 30 and 60 W. It is ideal for a wide range of applications including industrial control, networking, automation, and test & measurement equipment.

The VGD series offers a universal input (85-264 Vac) and dual output voltages of either 5V/12V or 5V/24Vdc. Protections include short circuit, overload, and over-voltage.  All models are approved to UL, cUL, and Intertek 60950-1 safety standards and include a built-in EMI filter.

"The VGD series provides customers with the ability to generate two separate voltages in a singular package, minimizing the need for an external DC-DC converter," stated Kraig Kawada, CUI's VP of Product Management. The VGD series is available through Digi-Key with prices starting at $19.80 per unit for 100 pcs.  Please contact CUI for OEM pricing.

SMT Connector Powers LEDs From Underside Of Board

Tyco has introduced the SMT thru-board connector, which supplies power from the underside of an FR4 or aluminium-clad PC board, eliminating issues of dressing wires on the top side of LED boards. The two-position through six-position connector surface mounts on top of the board, passing through the board to present an underside interface. The connector mates with standard Mini CT connectors. The inverted design allows simpler assembly and installation of solid-state LED lighting in architectural, residential and commercial applications. The Mini CT connector is rated for three amps per contact, on 24 AWG wire. A space-saving low-profile design and rounded corners minimise shadowing. The connector fits through a hole or notch in the board. High-temperature materials allow the connector to be reflow soldered, while a flat-top surface provides compatibility with vacuum pickup. The connector uses surface-mount hold-downs to provide stability during mating and unmating. With UL listing...

Electromechanical Relays (EMRs) vs. Solid State Relays Comparison (SSRs)

Image
Electromechanical Relays (EMR) Pros (Advantages) Lower initial cost compared to solid state relays. Provides complete electrical isolation. Tolerates high current & voltage transients. Insensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) / radio frequency interference (RFI). Higher open resistance (air gap). Lower closed resistance. Available with many poles/circuits (up to 8 or more). Many different circuit configurations available. Multiple packaging & feature options. Most typical failure mode is open. Electromechanical Relays (EMR) Cons (Disadvantages) Higher control (coil) power consumption. Contact arcing can cause pitting & eventual open/short failure. Contacts can be affected by corrosion, oxidation or contamination. Contact bounce possible due to shock & vibration. Generates electromagnetic interference (EMI) / radio frequency interference (RFI). Can be orientation sensitive. Can be affected by external magnetic fields. Subject to mechanic...
