Feedthrough EMI Chip Capacitors are Now Available in 0603 Size

Syfer has announced that its E01 and E07 ranges of feedthrough 3 terminal ‘C’ chip filters are now available in smaller packages, as small as 0603. These devices are designed primarily for general signal filtering in circuits incorporating high speed digital circuitry, particularly in automotive and communications industries.

In operation, the filtered signal passes through the chip’s internal electrodes and the noise is filtered to the grounded side contacts, resulting in reduced length noise transmission paths. This helps ensure reduced inductance, compared to conventional multilayer chip capacitors (MLCCs), when used in signal line filtering. When used to help provide electromagnetic compatibility, the filters effectively block electromagnetic interference (EMI) emanating from high speed circuitry, and prevent the propagation of high frequency noise along power lines.

Devices in the range are available in C0G/NP0 and X7R dielectrics, with voltage ratings ranging from 25Vdc to 200Vdc. Current ratings available include 300mA (E01), and 1A and 2A (E07). The higher current parts are ideal for installing on the DC power lines on printed circuit boards. With the DC current fed directly through the E07 chip filters, PCB designers will find that a significantly improved high frequency filtering performance is the result. Many of the parts in the E01 lower current (300mA) range are qualified to the automotive AEC-Q200 standard.

Depending on the capacitance and voltage rating required, the chip capacitors are offered in package sizes from 0603 to 1806. The newest filters come in the smallest 0603 package. Typical devices offer a capacitance range of 150pF to 390pF (300mA, C0G dielectric, 25V) or 2.7nF to 12nF (1A, X7R, 50V).

Devices in both the E01 and E07 ranges are also available with Syfer’s FlexiCap™ termination.  Tin-lead plated devices are optionally available for use in high reliability, RoHS exempt applications, such as in the space/aerospace industry, where tin whiskers can be considered an issue.

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.
