Traps to avoid when spec’ing a custom transformer
John Gallagher from Pulse Electronics recently spoke with us about some of the things design engineers and circuit designers need to know when they’re working with a company that makes transformers and inductors. He says a lot of circuit designers look at transformers as ideal transformers –there’s just a certain number of turns in the […]
What you need to know about buzzers – reviewing the basic types and technologies
Bruce Rose, Principal Applications Engineer, CUI Inc A buzzer can provide a cost-effective yet intuitive aspect to the user interface of a wide variety of products, such as a home appliance, security panel, door-entry system or computer peripheral. Usually, the choice is between either a magnetic or piezoelectric type. It should be an easy decision, […]
Power supply designers take a hard look at soft magnetics
The promise of high efficiency and small size brought by super-fast switching power supplies could be delayed by a lack of magnetic materials that are up to the task. Leland Teschler | Executive Editor Eyeball the schedule for APEC, considered the premier technical conference for power electronics, and you’ll notice a number of sessions devoted […]
Double choke optimized for SMT assembly
With its WE-TDC HV, Würth Elektronik eiSos presents a further double choke optimized for SMT assembly. The magnetically shielded 1:1 transformers with an isolation voltage of 2,000 V stands out from similar components through lower losses and a low level of stray inductance. The WE-TDC HV product family encompasses nine different models – five in […]
