Brand new electrical engineering and electronics

The electrical engineering, electronics is the second largest industry in Germany according to the number of employees and ranks with a high export content right behind machine and plant engineering. And it is a stronghold of Middle class. Over 90 percent of the companies that are active in the electrical engineering and electronics sector employ fewer than 500 people. On the way to Industry 4.0, industrial goods are increasingly being equipped with electrical engineering or electronics. 

Electrical engineering and electronics for special industries

For industries like for example the Automotive industry, Renewable energies, Technical Building Services, Medical Technology, food technology, Microsystems Technology, Mobile Machinery Products must meet special requirements such as approvals, certificates or surfaces and material properties. Here we present you the latest innovations from industry solutions and from the Applied research .

  • Which electric car owner doesn't always want to have an efficient, fast, reliable and available way to charge their electric car? And because there are always new developments in charging plugs and charging cables for electric cars, we would like to introduce them to you here. Here you will find Type 1 plugs, Type 2 plugs, CCS plugs and the associated charging cables...
  • According to the ZVEI, almost every fifth German already uses networked functions within their own four walls, including those for controlling their heating system. The new generation of the individual room control NEA Smart 2.0 for surface heating and cooling from Rehau is well suited for this. The entire control technology can now also be used with other KNX-enabled...
  • Flexible printed circuit boards made from thin polyimide films have established themselves in many product areas. But they are expensive to equip and assemble, even if they offer many advantages. That is why Harting relies on 3D MID technology, which can save up to two thirds of the costs. In a POS terminal...
  • In cooperation with Aconno, the Schmersal Group has developed the prototype of an Industry 4.0 switch for the bulk goods industry. With the Heavy Duty Switch (HDS) series, data can be transmitted wirelessly over distances of several kilometers in extensive conveyor systems in heavy industry. 
  • A PV inverter is crucial to the performance of your photovoltaic system: it converts direct current into alternating current so that you can use the energy. But which inverter suits your system best? In this article you will learn how inverters work, what they have to do and how to choose the optimal model for them...
  • Not only is the demand for personal protective equipment increasing due to the global spread of the coronavirus, but also for ventilators. In order to ensure supply in Germany, the federal government placed several orders for ventilators with various manufacturers at short notice.   
  • Food producers have so far often been skeptical about the use of connectors in sensitive areas. They fear that the outlines of interfaces will break through the easy-to-clean, smooth surfaces. But you need them in the product-related area for cleaning. Harting has developed a special connector for such applications. The Han F+B withstands intensive cleaning. 

Electrical engineering and electronics for machines and systems

Digitization, integration, networking, monitoring: These are the Industry 4.0 requirements that are also driving electrical engineering and electronics in mechanical and plant engineering. And so connectors and cables are more than just one today electrical connection technology. We present the innovations below:

When air conditioning Casings and Control cabinets To protect the installed systems, temperature, humidity and pressure interact. Even a drop of water in the vicinity of sensitive electronics can have significant consequences for operational safety. A Pressure compensation element

Igus10219When deicing and washing aircraft is still much manual labor in the game today. To reduce time, delays and thus costs, the MSG Production AS a fully automatic all-in-one concept that can deice and wash aircraft. The Norwegian company set up energy chains from Igus.

smp1018EMC filters reduce interference currents in converter systems that are generated by parasitic effects and clocking elements of the converter system. SMP Sintermetalle has developed EMC filters with high frequency stability. The specially manufactured materials for the new filters are effective for frequencies up into the gigahertz range. The material plays an important role in EMC filters: The aim is to achieve stable inductance across the entire frequency spectrum in order to maximize the attenuation of interference. 

harting0418The new "Prelink PCB" from Harting offers safe and universally applicable Ethernet connection technology from the housing wall to the circuit board. The universally applicable solution for IT, building automation and industry serves all applications equally. Newly added are M12 cable sockets, which can also be used as wall feed-throughs, as well as a circuit board socket that can directly accommodate the terminating block.

For safe signal processing to monitor a machine, the Schmersal group various type-tested solutions, including a variety of Safety relay, safety controllers and Standstill monitor. are new to the program two safety components: the SRB-E-302ST relay and the SRB-E-402EM output expander. These and other new components of the Safety Technology can be found below:
