SMD transformers sport 1.5 kV isolation voltage, low core losses
Würth Elektronik eiSos presents a new line of transformers for SMT assembly – WE-FLEX HV (Flexible Transformer High Voltage). Like the WE-FLEX series of transformers, these excel because of their flexible capabilities in various applications making them ideally suited for fast prototyping. Different circuit configurations enable over 375 transformer solutions and around 125 choke solutions […]
Flyback transformer packaging eliminates need for flying leads
The new MID-OLRM extended rail RM8 transformer series for offline applications from Wurth Electronics Midcom is now available. “For the past 30 years, the RM packages have required flying leads to meet reinforced insulation and creepage and clearance distances. We decided to change this by adding an extended rail to the existing RM8 package; eliminating […]
Options for current sensing, Part 2
Part 1 of this FAQ discussed the issue of current measurement, and four transducers which can be used to measure current. The first two – shunt resistors and Hall-effect devices – can be used for AC or DC currents. We will now look at two other transducers – the Rogowski coil and the current transformer […]
Transformers meet PoE, PoE+, UPoE specs over 3 to 60-W range
Premier Magnetics, introduces its expanded line of low-cost, high-performance transformers designed to support the full range of Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) applications from IEEE 802.3af (15.4W, max), IEEE 802.3at (30W), Cisco UPoE and other higher-power PoE extensions up to 60W. The low-profile, surface-mount devices operate over a wide frequency range, provide high isolation (1500V) and are available in […]
Offline transformers for LLC resonant half-bridge topology
Wurth Electronics Midcom is proud to announce the release of MID-LLCEPC; a new series of offline transformers using LLC Resonant Half-Bridge topology. With the low switching losses of the LLC topology, the MID-LLCEPC series yields very good efficiency, which makes the topology attractive with higher power levels. “Our package used for this series was designed […]
