Vishay Intertechnology’s VJ Non-Magnetic Surface-Mount MLCCs Honored With CEM 2011 Editors’ Choice Award

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) today announced that the company’s VJ series of non-magnetic surface-mount multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) has received a China Electronic Market (CEM) magazine 2011 Editors’ Choice Award in the category of “The Most Competitive Capacitor Product in China.”

Winners of the CEM 2011 Editors’ Choice Awards were chosen based on their sales performance in the Chinese market and technological innovation. Vishay’s VJ series of non-magnetic MLCCs was selected because of its demonstrated success in the capacitors category.

Electronic components used in MRI equipment or nearby require non-magnetic components that do not interfere with magnetic fields. To meet this need, Vishay’s non-magnetic VJ series MLCCs are manufactured with non-magnetic materials and are 100% safety-screened for magnetic properties before final packaging. The devices are available with C0G (NPO) and X7R/X5R dielectrics, each with a wide range of case sizes, voltage ratings, and capacitance values.

Vishay’s VJ series non-magnetic devices feature a wet build process and a reliable Noble Metal Electrode (NME) system. The non-magnetic capacitors can be assembled with epoxy bonding or in an SMT process using IR reflow. Proven to have less interference than standard capacitors, which contain magnetic materials, the non-magnetic series devices are optimized for filter circuits in MRI equipment, implantable medical devices, ferromagnetic-sensitive instrumentation, electronic test systems, and high-end audio amplifiers.

The CEM 2011 Editors’ Choice Award winners were announced in the January 2012 issue of the magazine.

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.
