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:

Fine metal has an expandable Hand adapter for the battery cell developed. The cell adapter is used to contact round cells of the types 18650, 21700 and 26650. By exchanging different interchangeable inserts, the different requirements for current strength and contact quality can be met. The video demonstrates the function of the contact pins and tools.

 

schmersal0218The Schmersal Group is expanding its series of control panels with the new BDF 200-SD variant. This product version now has an integrated SD interface. In addition, the BDF 200-SD is equipped with an emergency stop function with electronic OSSD outputs and can be equipped with up to three operational command and signaling devices such as illuminated buttons, indicator lights, selector switches or key switches.

The operation of vehicles and the control of automated processes is becoming more and more complex and diverse. Products for this must perform several functions at the same time, optimally adapt to the installation space and enable downsizing. With the new Silicone actuator technology will the Satiety Group exactly meets these requirements.

Cable routingThe Energy supply chains of the "Easytrax", "Quicktrax" and "Uniflex Advanced" series Kabelschlepp are designed to be opened quickly. This makes line assignment and exchange particularly easy, and the user saves time and money. The latest measurements prove: With the one available for the energy chain Opening tool With the Uniflex Advanced 1455, users can open a meter of cable carrier in just three seconds.

With the VLx Resistance series bring the Isabellenhütte Resistors with previously unknown performance on the market. By reversing the length to width ratio, extremely low resistance values ​​(e.g. 1 mOhm in the 0612 design) can be achieved by expanding the range.

rafiButtons that are used as operating elements on high-quality machines and devices must have good tactility in addition to high switching reliability and a long service life. This includes an actuation force appropriate to the application and the field of application in order to avoid incorrect operation and at the same time guarantee pleasant operability with clear feedback. The micro pushbuttons of the Micon 5 series from Rafi were created for these requirements.

Maxpower Semiconductor has expanded its product portfolio around a series of MOS-based Rectifiers expanded with very high current density. They have an ultra low Forward voltage. With these properties of current density and forward voltage, they are particularly suitable for use in high-frequency switched-mode power supplies such as DC / DC converters, adapters, reverse polarity protection circuits or lighting.
