C0G MLCCs Provide Capacitance Stability At 200C

Kemet has introduced the High Temperature Surface Mount C0G multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). These feature a robust and proprietary base metal dielectric system that offers excellent performance relative to capacitance and case size, combined with capacitance stability at temperatures up to +200C. The new devices have extremely low ESR and ESL and high ripple-current capability.

The platform promotes downsizing opportunities of existing High Temperature C0G technology and offers replacement opportunities for existing X7R/BX/BR technologies. Typical applications include critical timing, tuning, circuits requiring low loss, circuits with pulse, high current, decoupling, by-pass, filtering, transient voltage suppression, blocking and energy storage. It is suitable for use in extreme environments present in applications such as down-hole exploration, aerospace engine compartments and geophysical probes.

Standard capacitance ratings for the non-polar devices range from 0.5pF up to 0.22uF, in capacitance tolerance offerings of +/-0.25pF, +/-0.5pF, +/- one per cent, +/- two per cent, +/- five per cent, +/-10 per cent or +/-20 per cent. The temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) is +/-30ppm/C from -55C to +200C. Devices are available in DC voltage ratings of 10, 16, 25, 50 and 100V, with a maximum dissipation factor of 0.1 per cent. Seven standard EIA case-size options are available, including 0603, 0805, 1206, 1210 and 1812, with either nickel barrier/tin or Sn/Pb terminations.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
