Ultra Compact 20 Watt DC-DC Converters Achieve 51W/in³ Power Density

XP Power today announced additions to its range of low power metal cased DC-DC converters with the launch of the 20 Watt JCM20 and JTK20 series. Aimed at space constrained portable applications, these highly efficient board mounted converters provide either single or dual regulated outputs from an ultra compact 25.4 x 25.4 x 9.90 mm (1 x 1 x 0.39 inch) package. Achieving an industry leading power density of up to 51 Watts per cubic inch and an efficiency of up to 89%, these tiny units are ideal for applications where PCB space for the converter needs to be kept to the minimum and an industry standard package pinout is required. These products can replace existing 1” x 2” packages thus reducing required board space by 50%.

The JTK20 series accommodates an ultra wide 4:1 range, and is available with either 9 – 36 or 18 – 75 VDC input voltage. With a 2:1 wide input range, the JCM20 series offers three input ranges of 9 – 18, 18 – 36 or 36 – 75 VDC inputs. Single output models provide +3.3, +5, +12 or +15 VDC, while the duals offer +/-5, +/-12 or +/-15 VDC. All outputs are fully regulated to within +/- 0.5% over all input and load conditions for the single output models and less than +/- 1.0% for the dual outputs. Single output models have an output trim that allows adjustment within +/- 10% of nominal output. Input to output and input/output to case isolation of 1,600 VDC is provided across the range.

Able to work in most environments, the JTK20 can operate at full load from -40 to +55 degrees C, and the JCM20 up to +65 degrees C, without the need for any additional heatsinking or forced airflow. With derating the JCM20 can operate up to +100 degrees C, and +105 degrees C for the JTK20.

Both series feature remote on/off control. This can be used to control the output rails or to sequence start-up procedures. All units also feature overvoltage, overload and short circuit protection.

All products have a 3 year warranty. The JCM20 and JTK20 are available from Farnell, Newark, element-14 or direct from XP Power.

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.
