World's Highest Inductance Values!! Commencing Mass Production of Ultra Compact 0603 Size High-Frequency Chip Inductors for Smartphones: The LQP03TN_02 Series

Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is proud to announce that it has now commercialized chip inductors with an inductance of 270 nH — the largest in the industry for the 0603 size. These inductors are optimal for use in high-frequency circuits in smartphones, mobile phones and other small mobile devices. Among our ultracompact 0603-size (0.6 x 0.3 x 0.3mm) film-type high-frequency chip inductors,*1 in addition to the previously available 0.6-120 nH products, we have increased the inductance so that our lineup now includes products that are compatible with inductances from 150-270 nH (LQP03TN_02 series) . Mass production commenced in August.

As smartphones and other compact mobile devices come to support multiple frequencies, and have more and more functions that have become more sophisticated, a greater number of parts are being mounted. Yet these mobile devices are becoming smaller and smaller, raising the need for even smaller and thinner chip inductors. With this background, a major challenge has been to achieve high inductance while reducing the size of parts.

By applying Murata's unique microfabrication technology and revising the internal structure, we have been able to form optimal coils for the interior to achieve the world's highest inductance for the ultra-compact 0603 size while maintaining world class Q.*2 Up until now, Murata's 0603-size high-frequency chip inductors could only achieve inductance values of 0.6-120 nH. We have now increased this to 150-270 nH, thereby increasing the degree of freedom in circuit design. The inductance deviation is ±5%. Going forward, we will continue to decrease this deviation while simultaneously increasing the inductance values.

This product does not use any substances that are restricted by the RoHS directive.

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.
