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:

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.

Raw brings new high-power shunt resistors on the market. A low-ohm resistor of the GMR320 version has a nominal power of 10 W. The new design offers the highest nominal power of the GMR resistors, which are for high-power applications in industrial plants, the Automotive industry or household appliances. In the case of the extremely low-ohmic resistors of the PSR series, the nominal power has also been increased to 15 watts.

smp1119SMP Sintermetalle Prometheus has developed "All Mode" EMC filters with high frequency stability. The specially produced HFCM materials (High Frequency Composite Materials) are effective for frequencies up into the gigahertz range and meet all the requirements of modern SiC and GaN applications. The all mode construction dampens both differential mode and common mode disturbances.

turck0118Turck is expanding its pick-to-light portfolio with the K50-Flat illuminated pushbutton from its opto partner Banner Engineering. Due to its low height of 69 mm, the robust IP17K button is suitable for installation in confined spaces. Light touches without pressure with fingers or palm are sufficient to trigger.

wago10117The current and voltage tap complements the Wago portfolio of current and energy measurement technology: the combination of 2-wire through terminal and current and voltage tap forms the ideal basis for successful energy management - because it is wherever electrical power is to be measured Current and voltage required.

Hy-Line Power Components presents its supercapacitors with a nominal voltage of 3,8 V. The HS series offers up to ten times the capacity with the same size. The new hybrid supercapacitor combines the properties of a super capacitor and a lithium battery.

werma0919Werma Signaltechnik brings the new multicolour luminaire 240 onto the market. The LED built-in light is a compact signal device with up to seven colors. In addition, with the systems for process optimization, the company shows that there is a practical answer to the challenging questions about Industry 4.0, digitization and networking.  

Maxpower has developed its first generation of rectifier diodes with an unprecedented combination of performance parameters. The Max SBR diode combines the low forward voltage drop and the nonexistent reverse recovery charge of a Schottky diode with the surge voltage resistance and the low reverse leakage current of normal pn junction diodes. These Super barrier diodes are largely insensitive to high temperatures. The diodes are sold in Europe Fine power.
