High-Speed Photocouplers in Ultra-Miniature Packaging Offer guaranteed Operation to 20Mbps at Temperatures from -40ºC to 125ºC

Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has further expanded its family of extended temperature IC photocouplers* with three new high-speed, low-power devices in miniature SO6 packaging. Featuring typical data transfer rates of up to 20Mbps, the new ultra-miniature devices are guaranteed for operation at temperatures from -40ºC to 125ºC.

Toshiba’s new TLP2362, TLP2366 and TLP2368 logic IC couplers are ideal for high-speed communication interfaces in factory automation applications, industrial control systems, and
measurement equipment. The ICs feature single inverter logic outputs and allow designers to comply with reinforced insulation requirements in accordance with EN60747-5-2 and other international safety standards. Support for power supply voltages of between 2.7V and 5.5V ensures compatibility with existing and new designs as well as providing a migration path to lower voltage operation.

Both the 10Mbps TLP2362 and the 20Mbps TLP2368 have open collector outputs, while the 20Mbps TLP2366 has a totem-pole output, which enables both sink and source drives. Minimum isolation voltage for all three products is 3750Vrms and each is guaranteed for creepage and clearance distances in excess of 5mm.

As with other devices in Toshiba’s extended temperature photocoupler family, the TLP2362, TLP2366 and TLP2368 are built around GaAlAs LEDs that are optically coupled to high-gain, high-speed photodetectors. All offer very high input-to-output noise resistance, while internal Faraday shields ensure minimum common mode transient immunity of ±20kV/μs.

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.
