Spec Mini Solder-in Feed-thru Filter Joins Spectrum Control Line of EMI Filters from API Technologies

API Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:ATNY) (“API” or the “Company”), a provider of electronic systems, subsystems, RF, and secure systems for defense, aerospace, and commercial applications, announced today the availability of its new Spec Mini Solder-in Feed-thru Filter. This low pass filter is a new addition to the Spectrum Control line of EMI filters. The Spec Mini Solder-in Feed-thru Filter (9909 Series) has a miniature case measuring 0.140” diameter (flange) x 0.120” diameter (barrel) with a body length of 0.110” and a total overall length of 0.400” including leads.

“This new miniature solder-in filter is hermetically sealed on one end for thru-hole sealing between compartments. This allows it to be soldered into a package, bracket, or bulkhead while maintaining hermeticity,” said Larry Howanitz, Vice President, Spectrum Control Business Group of API Technologies. Conventional seal, reverse seal and hi-rel versions are also available.

The RoHS compliant Spec Mini Solder-in Feed-thru Filter is ideal for a variety of products intended for use in the microwave frequency spectrum including oscillators, attenuators, and synthesizers. It features a rugged monolithic discoidal capacitor construction with capacitance values of 5pF to .027µF. Its high temperature construction meets military requirements for solderability and resistance to soldering heat; and its high-purity gold plating provides excellent compatibility with gold bonding techniques.

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.
